ARTICLE REVIEWS
Analysis of “About Those Non-Disappearing Pacific Islands”
in The Wall Street Journal, by Bjorn Lomborg
“This article is very interesting because it exemplifies a highly-misleading rhetorical practice that is effective, frequently used, but not easily recognized by the public: “paltering”… A successful palterer will try to avoid being untruthful in each of his/her utterances, but will nonetheless put together a highly misleading picture based on selective reporting, half-truths, and errors of omission…”

Analysis of “…in many ways global warming will be a good thing”
in The Telegraph, by Bjorn Lomborg
“This article presents a highly biased view of global warming, only presenting the “positive” aspects of it. As the author is criticizing media doing the opposite (always showing the bad side of climate change) it is a shame the author didn’t present a balanced view here.”

Analysis of “An Overheated Climate Alarm”
in The Wall Street Journal, by Bjorn Lomborg
“Lomborg is using scientific ‘language’ to suggest that climate change will have insignificant health impacts; this goes against a vast body of evidence. The notion that benefits from warmer winters could be more important than risks from hotter summer in terms of human health is plain wrong.”

Analysis of “The Alarming Thing About Climate Alarmism”
in The Wall Street Journal, by Bjorn Lomborg
“Tries and fails to make a convincing case for why humans need to worry about climate change less than they currently do.”
