This Charlatan's Nonsense

Dave Pollard in a footnote: “One reader has taken me to task for ridiculing Bjorn Lomborg without addressing his arguments. Those who think this charlatan's nonsense needs to be refuted should read this, this, or this. There's about 300 pages of detailed refutations by dozens of qualified, award-winning scientists (neither of which Lomborg is). I consider Lomborg's arguments to be in the same class as Zundel's.”

I assume he's referring to me, as I've recently criticized Dave for his comments about Björn Lomborg. I stand by the criticism, but I acknowledge (or even better, celebrate!) the links Dave has provided, and link to them myself, though I don't necessarily endorse them (not having actually read them yet). In another footnote, he also defends his spelling of "denyer". I assure my readers I felt like a jerk by putting the sic mark in my quotes, because really, nobody likes having their spelling mistakes pointed out. (When I make a spelling or grammatical mistake, I always appreciate a private heads up and make a discreet change.) He argues compellingly for the spelling, so much so that I'm considering removing the sic mark I placed next to them in my entry.
