Finally, a vestigial government-funded program actually worth cutting gets taken out as Denmark’s new regime change is opting to excise Bjorn Lomborg’s $1.6 million in funding for his Copenhagen Consensus Center.

โ€œItโ€™s been very strange that particular researchers have received special treatment due to ideology. Weโ€™re going to run fiscal policy differently,โ€ said Ida Auken from the Socialist People’s Party.

Lomborg is notorious for touting economic woes pertaining to the costs of mitigating climate change. He has often suggested that it is either too expensive to tax carbon and cap emissions to solve climate change, except when he was advocating his 1900 robotic ship army idea to spray sea water and ameliorate warming through geoengineering.

Either way, the almighty free market that laissez-faire economists pray to has spokenย (Lomborg’sย movie ‘Cool It’ raked in all of $62,713 in box office sales), and it’s out with excessive climate-denier-mobiles. It’s like the irony is killingโ€ฆoff his program.ย Literally.

โ€œOur starting point is that money which is given to people who do not agree that there are climate change problems should be chucked out,โ€ stated Social Democrat environmental spokesperson Mette Gjerskov.

In response to the news, our friends at the Carbon Brief noted about Lomborg’s funding loss, โ€œthat’s a lot of tight t-shirts.โ€
