Free public lecture

Thursday, April 17, 2008

7 p.m.

Charles W. Davis Concert Hall, UAF campus


Named one of the 50 people who could save the planet by the UK Guardian.

“When Sen. James Inhofe wants to back up his claim that global warming is the ‘greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people,’ or invites somebody to Washington to debate Al Gore, he calls on Lomborg.” -Kevin Berger, Salon.com

“On my bookshelves, I have many works that make a substantial contribution to our understanding of important issues facing the world, and quite a few exercises in political propaganda. Much rarer are books that fall into both categories. The Copenhagen Consensus, a joint initiative of The Economist and Bjorn Lomborg’s Environmental Assessment Institute, has produced just such a book.” -John Quiggen, Copenhagen Review
