PART 2 - Michael Pawlyn debate with Bjorn Lomborg at the BCO 2009 conference

Michael Pawlyn, founder of architectural practice Exploration, delivered this robust response to Bjorn Lomborg at the BCO's 2009 Conference. Speaking after Lomborg in a plenary session titled 'Greenpoint or greenwash: The environment in a recession', Pawlyn methodically dismantled the Lomborg analysis and exposed the questionable use of statistics. The Exploration team had carefully prepared for the debate through extensive research. The talk is in three parts.
Bjorn Lomborg did not consent to his presentation being filmed so, anyone unfamiliar with his arguments can view the first half of this 'Authors at Google' talk that he gave in September 2007 or his shorter talk on TED.com . A transcript of the Q&A, and all links to talks, can be found on Explorations website: www.exploration-architecture.com

Still I do agree with Bjorn. I don't think climate scientists use Lomborg as a source. And in his book, Lomborg gives a cost/benefit analysis that is still shocking when it's half as skew as Lomborg argues.
