Bjorn Lomborg Is Part Of The Koch Network — And Cashing In
Bjorn Lomborg Is Part Of The Koch Network And Cashing In
BY JOE ROMM JUNE 25, 2014
DeSmogBlog has done the first comprehensive analysis of where Bjorn Lomborgs money comes from.
You know the T-shirt-wearing climate inactivist Lomborg (aka the Danish Delayer) from such recent gems as Subsidizing renewables wont stop global warming and What an increasingly wonderful world and The Poor Need Cheap Fossil Fuels (seriously or not).
If those sound suspiciously similar to the exact same positions being pushed by the Koch brothers, then it should come as no surprise that Lomborgs backers are part of the sprawling Kochtopus enterprise, as DeSmogBlog documents.
Lomborgs Copenhagen Consensus Center (CCC), though long associated with his native Denmark, actually registered as a US-based non-profit organization back in 2008. Thats how we know Lomborg walked away with a cool $775,000 in pay from the CCC in 2012...
