I'd prefer you referred to the stunningly different map he shows compared to the one NY Times showed. It's not a lie. If you genuinely want to know more about Bjorn Lomborg watch his really old TED talk https://www.ted.com/talks/bjorn_lomborg_global_priorities_bigger_than_climate_change?language=en https://www.ted.com/talks/bjorn_lomborg_global_priorities_bi... If you've ever hung out in remote villages and seen crippled children crawling around because of lack of micro-nutrients, you won't have proof he is correct that micro-nutrients are one of the leading issue in this world, but you'd be at least much more empathetic to the idea. I've never see anyone else actually sit down and rank issue to cost benefit like he has. The Copenhagen Consensus have revised their list of issues since the original old TED talk.

How can either map be “a lie?” They’re projections. There’s ample groups with solid scientific credentials that Lomborg lacks. Lomborg famous book was found, by a well respected watchdog group, to be “scientifically dishonest,” with the addendum that he was unqualified to make the claims he does. There really is little to be gained from absorbing his work when there’s plenty of better sources that don’t engage in his well-documented intellectual dishonesty.
