Iconoclasts

Listen to the last programme in the BBC Radio 4's series Iconoclasts. It is a panel discussion about Björn Lomborg, a.k.a. the Sceptical Environmentalist. If you wonder why this debate is conducted in the context of a series dedicated to Religion & Ethics, then I am fully with you - and so is Björn. However, if you listen to the moral outrage of his opponents who very much resent that he actually dares to question the priorities of problem solving in his Copenhagen Consensus, then you'll understand. How to approach global warming is apparently not issue accessible to rational debate, but a question of faith. Thanks to Joel for the cue!
