Yes I did click it, but despite the fact they are detracting from Lomborg's views, his ideas are getting press and will gain some acceptance when more closely viewed. That they took time & space to trash him says they know he's right & fear his readership.

I'm a scientist and I can refute all of Lonborg's critics without referring to any of the claims Lonborg made. Every one of those scientists are more prejudiced against Lonborg than Lonborg is against that which he criticizes. Their prejudice is astounding because it is assumed that they know the history of science and know how certain paradigms become so deeply rooted that alternative views are automatically rejected as heresy. They don't see themselves as the modern equivalent of the medieval church. Almost every one of the criticisms is based on what some other expert has said. This kind of "expertism" is what dominates professional science, so the quality of that science is seriously deteriorating.
