He's better described as a self serving political populist with this being one of several interesting chapters:
After the publication of The Skeptical Environmentalist, Lomborg was formally accused of scientific dishonesty by a group of environmental scientists, who brought a total of three complaints against him to the Danish Committees on Scientific Dishonesty (DCSD), a body under Denmark's Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MSTI).
In January 2003, the DCSD released a ruling that sent a mixed message, finding the book to be scientifically dishonest through misrepresentation of scientific facts, but Lomborg himself not guilty due to his lack of expertise in the fields in question.
~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bj%C3%B8rn_Lomborgie. He skated on a dishonesty charge as he was deemed to be to inept to know just how badly he was misrepresenting data.
To be honest I thought he'd faded away, but it's interesting to see his shit still being dragged up to rot in the sun again.
