In response to this, a Facebook correspondent responds:
I’m confused. Lomborg is a climate change skeptic, and yet he calls for removing fossil fuel subsidies to reduce their global warming effect?
Perhaps he’s simply offended by the concept of subsidies for fossil fuels. I certainly am, but I’m not familiar with the current arguments in favor of subsidies.
But from what little I have read, he doesn’t seem to deny climate change so much as claim it’s not going to be as severe as claimed; or perhaps he just meant the change will happen at the specified magnitude, but the impact on human civilization won’t be as severe as predicted.
