His website has a link to a book review he wrote for the Washington Post in 2001 by a Danish scientist who studied the scientific support for the green movement and global warming. Quote from the review:
"His most stunning conclusion: Even if the Kyoto treaty were fully implemented, it would stave off warming by only about six years -- postponing it from 2100 to 2106. So what is the cost to the world economy of this almost invisible benefit we are to bestow on our great-great grandchildren? Anywhere from $80 to $350 billion per annum. Lomborg is very disturbed by these figures, since he sees health improvements as the greatest challenge now facing the human race -- especially the enormous gains against disease and poverty that will come from increasing the supply of clean drinking water and the quality of sanitation in the developing world. The costs of Kyoto for one year could give clean water and sanitation to the whole of the developing world, saving 2 million lives, and keeping half a billion people from serious illness."
So, why did the main stream media skewer Mr. Bush for his opposition to Kyoto?

Excellent satire. Also, a great website. Thanks for the great read and the introduction to Mr. Dutton.
