Your lack of knowledge about Denmark is remarkable.

You are making a judgement about a report based upon information from non-scientific authors who support Lomborg's ideas. The chief editor of one of the leading newspapers has accepted(and still is doing so) Lomborg's methodology. I haven't dropped my subscription to that newspaper but I do appreciate that having taken a position such as the one taken by the editor that it is very difficult to withdraw from that position.

As to dishonesty
Lomborg's book is listed as a scientific monologue at one of the universities in Denmark even though Lomborg now says it is not a scientific book. He got his job at the Institute for Environmental Evaluation based on the book.
