Lomborg, a Danish political scientist with a background in statistics, argues in his text that
claims made by environmentalists about
global warming, overpopulation, energy, deforestation, species loss, water shortages, and a variety of other issues are exaggerations
unsupported by a proper analysis of environmental data.
«It has been
claimed that the early - 2000s
global warming slowdown or hiatus, characterized by a reduced rate of
global surface
warming, has been overstated, lacks sound scientific basis, or is
unsupported by observations.
