Don't know where you read about an attack on the sceptical environmentalist but for your information the report sent out by the Danish committee for honesty in scientific reports said(I translate loosely) that Lomborg, who claims to be a scientist and claims to have used scientific methods, has produced a book(The Sceptical Environmentalist) which is a debate book and not, repeat not, a scientific book. (A debate book is one where only one side of a problem is explained.) As such the committee could not pass judgement on Lomborg's honesty as a scientist. That Lomborg has claimed that his work is scientific and not political at the beginning of the debate and later claimed the reverse is a telling comment on Lomborg's motives.
As for being desperate, try reading the report.

An article from Lomborg's institute claims that it is possible to burn Aluminium cans in waste processor ovens. When presented with melted but not burnt cans he claims no responsibility because some other organization has said the same thing(based on a higher temperature that that available at the waste treatment plants. As a result of this report(Lomborg's) a return system for cans was not implemented in Denmark.
