I've read interviews with Lomborg, and I think listened to an Mp3 of one of his presentations.  He's generally pretty rational and nuanced, but he's got his role.  He's The Skeptical Environmentalist.  It really just amused me that on this subject the best skepticism he could offer was a faith in energy markets.  That's kind of a general back-up position.

I do remember that he doesn't own a car and rides a bike around town.  I think he argues for lower energy consumption.

And yet he has become the poster child of people who argue that it is immoral to restrict their driving of SUVs.

He reminds me of those socialists who refused to condemn Stalin and the Soviet Union after the show trials, to show solidarity with the left.

Stalin was a socialist?
