Bjorn Lomborg, Former Skeptic, Says Climate Change is Real

Bjorn Lomborg became a scientific and skeptic name because of his adamant disbelief in global warming and climate change. That has all changed, though, as the former denier now believes in climate change. The NY Daily News reports that: The ultimate flip-flop? In an apparent about face, Bjorn Lomborg - dubbed the world's most famous climate-change skeptic - will declare climate change "undoubtedly one of the chief concerns facing the world today," and a "challenge humanity must confront," in an upcoming book, London's Guardian reported. In the book, "Smart Solutions to Climate Change: Comparing Costs and Benefits," the Danish professor, who was once compared to Adolf Hitler by the United Nations' climate chief, calls for $100 billion annually to fight climate change. Lomborg denied that he changed his view on global warming. Instead, he said if money is going to be spent, he wants it to be used wisely. "The point I've always been making is it's not the end of the world. That's why we should be measuring up to what everybody else says, which is we should be spending our money well," he told the Guardian.
