On the Opposition Against the Book The Skeptical Environmentalist by B. Lomborg

摘要

Modern science proceeds through theories that are tested by observations. If these do not fit the assumptions, new theories are developed to replace the former ones (see Carl Popper and Thomas Kuhn)([l]). In the history of science there have been several long periods where two conflicting theories were proposed, and because no decisive observations could be made, the alternative concepts stayed subject to debate among scientists. These were very interesting periods in the fields concerned.
