Is this Lomborg you're saying is a denier? What are you basing that on?
I can believe that he is encouraging others who want to do nothing about climate change, but I didn't think he was objectively a denier. People calling him one may be playing into his shtick.
- bilegeek 6y agoIn the end, it doesn't matter if he believes or not; if he acts like a denier, no matter how milquetoast, he is de facto a denier, and perpetuating denial.
- perl4ever 6y agoActs like a denier? Either he does or he doesn't. If he's not denying climate change, then it's a lie or willful disregard for the truth to say he is, and encourages the people who think it's a religion and a conspiracy. The morality of slander is not even the point, it's that tactically, you don't want to be seen making unfounded attacks because you're essentially ad-hominem'ing yourself. I read a book of his a long time ago, and I am not 100% sure he isn't a denier these days, but he wasn't then, even though he definitely was trolling as hard as he could.
