I agree completely, we have to rediscover the middle ground: (emphasis added)

It's wrong to deny the obvious: The Earth is warming, and we're causing it. But that's not the whole story, and predictions of impending disaster just don't stack up.

As sea levels rise, so will temperatures. It seems logical to expect more heat waves and therefore more deaths. But though this fact gets much less billing, rising temperatures will also reduce the number of cold spells. This is important because research shows that the cold is a much bigger killer than the heat. According to the first complete peer-reviewed survey of climate change's health effects, global warming will actually save lives. It's estimated that by 2050, global warming will cause almost 400,000 more heat-related deaths each year. But at the same time, 1.8 million fewer people will die from cold.

It's easy to dismiss Lomborg as a bomb-throwing sellout to whichever industrial cabal you happen to think exists when you don't read what he says. When you do, and realize just how much of his work is based on a level-headed look at the science, not so much.

Something tells me the ferocity of reaction to his work is in inverse proportion to the amount of it someone's actually read. In other words, read the whole article, buy both books, and read. Then you can come back and tell me, in detail, just how wrong he is. Trust me, I won't be holding my breath.
