No, you found a big list of people who don't like him and/or disagree with him, and who claim he's wrong. That isn't the same as showing he's wrong. Others of which actually agree with some of his points (for example - "It will have positive effects in some regions, but also negative effects in others. The overall balance is getting predominantly negative with increased level of warming."), but present it as disagreement. And none of which (certainly not in what you quote) show him to be wrong. Feel free to refute them. Feel free to refute his points (the one's raised in the video) first. Most of the quotes you raise don't even address his point in that video, they either address other statements he makes, or they set up a strawman about global warming being positive when its clear he believes it is happening and is negative. Lomborg defeats imaginary arguments instead of the original propositions to give the illusion of having refuted a point. This is a well known rhetorical technique called the straw man fallacy. That's some of what is being done in your short quotes. Claiming that he thinks global warming will be a net positive for example.
