SUMMARY On 4 April 2016 the US Global Change Research Program released a comprehensive overview of the impact of climate change on American public health. In an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, Bjorn Lomborg criticizes the report as unbalanced. Ten scientists analyzed the article and found that Lomborg had reached his conclusions through cherry-picking from a small subset of the evidence, misrepresenting the results of existing studies, and relying on flawed reasoning. climatefeedback.org Reviews of articles by: Bjorn Lomborg climatefeedback.org A global network of scientists fact-checking climate change newsClimate Feedback is a worldwide network of scientists who collectively assess the credibility of influential climate change media coverage. Our missionOur first mission is to help Internet users—from the general public to influential decision-makers—distinguish inaccurate climate change narratives from scientifically sound and trustworthy information in the media. We also provide feedback to editors about the credibility of information published in their outlets. Our mission is pedagogical: we strive to explain whether and why information is or is not consistent with the science. We are nonpartisan and apply the same methodology to claims made in a variety of media, as well as exposing both the claims that exaggerate or downplay the consequences of climate change. We believe it is scientists’ civic duty to better inform our fellow citizens in our area of expertise. = THIS IS THE LOMBORG-ERRORS WEB SITE Message 31018061
