Skeptical Environmentalist Debate Rages

In its January 2002 issue, Scientific American published the feature "Misleading Math about the Earth," in which four environmental experts charged statistician Bjørn Lomborg with being out of touch with the facts. They criticized the arguments on global warming, energy,overpopulation and biodiversity that he makes in his book, The Skeptical Environmentalist. Lomborg has since written a detailed online rebuttal. Scientific American readers respond and Scientific American's editor in chief calls Lomborg's response "disingenuous."
