I was never involved in any of the writing about Schneider or Lomborg. <br /><br />I liked and respected Schneider, who was smart beyond belief, and I regret (and am sorry) that The Economist wrote what it did. <br /><br />As far as the institution goes, you might, though, like to read the obituary that we did about him. <br /><br />http://www.economist.com/node/16690669blah blahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963047594323120317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7476986.post-11900326068187728692010-08-06T12:24:16.932+00:002010-08-06T12:24:16.932+00:00hi natasha, thanks for this.

I guess since it is on your blog this institutional mea culpa (if I can call it that) never made it into the economist... which would seem a pity.<br />A classic example of the perils in selective quoting.<br />What always baffled me about Lomborg was while he might have had some interesting points to make, I'm not sure he ever deserved the profile he achieved. Someone like Schneider would have been a much more deserving recipient of all that attention.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03644887887692439791noreply@blogger.com
