“The Greens have got it wrong.” Matt Ridley considers Bjorn Lomborg’s The Skeptical Environmentalist to be ‘probably the most

important book on the environment ever written’:

The Big Green organisations will not like it. They will accuse

Lomborg of defending Big Business, no doubt, as they did Julian

Simon. But the charge cannot stick. He has an impeccably Leftish

background and a transparent independence of mind. And he is not

complacent: “By far the majority of indicators show that mankind’s

lot has vastly improved. This does not, however, mean that

everything is good enough”. Telegraph UK
