Bjørn Lomborg

Bjørn Lomborg

Bjørn Lomborg (pronuncia danese [ˈpjɶɐ̯ˀn ˈlɔmˌpɒˀ]) (Frederiksberg, 6 gennaio 1965) è un ambientalista danese, noto per le sue posizioni conservatrici sul problema del riscaldamento globale, da lui espresse nel 1998.

Biografia

Lomborg si è laureato in scienze politiche all'università di Aarhus nel 1991, e ha conseguito il dottorato di ricerca presso l'università di Copenaghen nel 1994.

Presso il dipartimento di scienze politiche dell'università di Aarhus ha tenuto corsi di statistica, in qualità di assistente (1994-1996) e professore associato (1997-2005). Dal 2005 è professore aggiunto alla Copenhagen Business School, direttore del Copenhagen Consensus Centre e in passato ha ricoperto la carica di direttore dell'Environmental Assessment Institute di Copenaghen. È noto per il suo best seller L'ambientalista scettico (The Skeptical Environmentalist).

Nel 2002 Lomborg, assieme all'Environmental Assessment Institute, ha fondato il Copenhagen Consensus.

Lomborg è dichiaratamente gay e vegetariano[1].

Opere

Pubblicazioni in riviste scientifiche

Articolo su American Sociological Review sul dilemma del prigioniero del 1996[2].

The Skeptical Environmentalist

Nel 1998, Lomborg pubblica sul popolare giornale danese Politken quattro articoli sulle condizioni dell'ambiente, che sollevano un acceso dibattito[3].

Nel 2001 pubblica il controverso libro L'ambientalista scettico, la cui tesi principale è che molte delle affermazioni e delle previsioni degli ambientalisti sono frutto di esagerazione.

Dopo la pubblicazione del libro, alcuni membri della comunità scientifica danese e internazionale lo accusarono di «disonestà scientifica». Tuttavia, nessuna accusa a carico di Lomborg è rimasta pendente a seguito di indagini[4].

Smart Solutions to Climate Change

Recentemente, Lomborg sembra aver rivisto la posizione scettica precedentemente espressa. Il 30 agosto 2010, in un'intervista concessa al quotidiano The Guardian in occasione dell'uscita di un suo libro (Smart Solutions to Climate Change), Lomborg sembra aver cambiato la sua opinione sul tema del riscaldamento globale, annunciando il suo supporto all'iniziativa di spesa di «...decine di miliardi di dollari da investire nella lotta ai cambiamenti climatici globali»[5]. Lomborg, da parte sua, afferma al contrario che queste posizioni non costituiscono un cambiamento delle proprie idee in merito a questi problemi e di aver sempre coerentemente sostenuto che «...il riscaldamento globale esiste, che è causato dall'uomo ma che non moriremo tutti per questo»[5].

Nel suo ultimo libro ha affermato di approvare l'uso di una tassa sulla CO2 per combattere i mutamenti climatici[5].

Il suo libro ha ricevuto un inatteso sostegno proprio dal Premio Nobel per la pace Rajendra Pachauri, presidente dell'Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), che precedentemente aveva paragonato Lomborg ad Adolf Hitler[5][6].
