Lomborg's Lolly Cut Off

Denmark's climate change enfant terrible, Bjorn Lomborg, is getting booted off the dole.   The economist turned climate change denier had been receiving handouts of about $1.5-million a year from Denmark's former rightwing government.    That government is gone and so is Lomborg's handout.

Not too long ago, Lomborg was spewing out this sort of nonsense;

"Climate change will not cause massive disruptions or huge death tolls. Actually, for the world in general, the direct impact of climate change in 2050 will mean fewer dead, and not by a small amount."

Recently, Lomborg has changed his climate change outlook and sort of said we're screwed if we don't slash carbon emissions but it's too little, too late.   Ida Aukin who is expected to be Denmark's next Enviromin explained why Lomborg's funding is being cut off.  "The reason he received funding in the first place was ideological. We believe that it is wrong to give funding to specific ideological researchers."
