Why Simon Lomborg's Book Had 3,000 Footnotes in It

Lomborg painted himself as that kind of guy. He would bring the story up specifically when he did news interviews so that people would conservatives in particular would see him as like, oh, this is the next iteration of that kind of scientist. This is the clear eyed Galileo type contrarian scientist who sees the reality through the political bullshit of climate change and understands that it's not really a problem. We can keep fracking. Like that's how he's painting himself. I do wonder sometimes if that's just good money. It is with Lombok.
