This analysis in the Scottish Sunday Herald gets nicely to the point of why the mischievously misdirecting Bjorn Lomborg is damaging the global conversation about climateย change.
โLomborg says Kyoto is a misallocation of resources which should have gone to the Third World. But Americaโs boycott of Kyoto in 1998 didnโt lead to more resources for the wretched of the earth.
There have been no petrodollars flooding into sub-Saharan Africa. The US still allocates the lowest percentage of GDP to development of any industrialised country. All Lomborgโs arguments do is delay any action about climate change, which is why he is so popular with American corporateย interests.โ
