ANALYSIS OF
FOOTNOTES
Lomborg´s books have extensive footnotes and
references. Here is an example of what you may find if you actually
check these footnotes. It deals with a part of chapter 3 (pp. 70 to 73
in the British edition). It can be downloaded as a word file here.
Please notice that this analysis of footnotes is not
a part of Lomborg-Errors as such. It is not intended to be a list of
errors, but just a random example of the ways in which Lomborg uses his
sources.
CHRIS GOODALL HAS WRITTEN THE
FOLLOWING PRESENTATION OF HIMSELF:
After
a career in business, I started writing on climate change two years
ago. My book on individual responses ‘How to Live a Low-carbon Life’
was published in February of this year by Earthscan, perhaps the most
reputable publisher on sustainability issues in the world. The book was
described by the New Scientist magazine as ‘the definitive guide to
reducing your carbon footprint’. It won the 2007 Clarion prize for
non-fiction. I also write columns for the UK’s Independent on Sunday
newspaper. I publish a regular newsletter on climate change issues at
www.carboncommentary.com.
