science?

I didn't say the conclusions were popular. I said they were in line with other scientific assessments of the biosphere.

There is ample evidence of species decline. If you want I will provide some links, but I'm confident you can find the information yourself.

As for Bjorn Lomborg, he's not a scientist, he's a statistician. I wrote a review on my own website of his book, read it here. His book suggests that he has no clue about biology or ecology. He doesn't mention invasive species, for example, and his data on forest health starts from the 1950s, after most of the US had been logged.

I will say that I think his perspective is useful in looking at the interplay of environment and economics. But it is worthless for assessing the real state of the biosphere.

Anything else?
