"Other scientists who, in one way or another, have paid a price for following evidence to the best of their ability instead of following a political agenda include Bjorn Lomborg, a Danish statistician who reported that the world's environment was getting better in virtually any direction you looked. He even had the temerity to point out that the Kyoto agreement would do nothing more than slow down warming by six years or so over the next 100.
Environmental activists threw pies in his face and various American groups and writers quickly condemned him as a fraud. The Danish Committee on Scientific Dishonesty said he fabricated data, but it was the panel doing the fabricating. The Danish Ministry of Science said the panel's findings included no "argumentation." The opposition to Mr. Lomborg wasn't scientific. It was ideological, pure and simple."
