World’s leading climate sceptic sees his funding melt away

The world’s most high-profile climate change sceptic is set to have his funding scrapped.

Bjorn Lomborg, author of The Skeptical Environmentalist and bête noire of climate change activists around the world, has been told that the incoming Danish government will cut off his £1m a year funding.

He was once compared to Adolf Hitler by the head of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Rajendra Pachauri.

  1. It’s true, he’s not really a skeptic about the warming just the false propaganda and carbon tax solution. In fact he is an advocate of geoengineering projects, which, we can only guess at what the consequenses are. If there wasnt already a problematic relationship with the sun there will be after they launch those contraptions. To me he is even more dangerous than the average warming criminals out there.
