Continued Debate and Criticism
The rulings of the Danish authorities in 2003–2004 left Lomborg's critics frustrated, while Lomborg was jubilant, claiming vindication as a result of MSTI's decision to set aside DCSD funding. But critics pointed out that while Skeptical Environmentalist had not been ruled invalid, the work had not received any scientific validation.
A Dutch think tank, Heidelberg Appeal, published a report in which it claimed 25 out of 27 accusations against Lomborg to be unsubstantiated or not pertinent. A group of related scientists also published an article in 2005 in the Journal of Information Ethics, in which they concluded that most criticism against Lomborg was unjustified, and that the scientific community had misused their authority to suppress the author.

Famous quotes containing the words continued, debate and/or criticism:

“The critic lives at second hand. He writes about. The poem, the novel, or the play must be given to him; criticism exists by the grace of other men’s genius. By virtue of style, criticism can itself become literature. But usually this occurs only when the writer is acting as critic of his own work or as outrider to his own poetics, when the criticism of Coleridge is work in progress or that of T.S. Eliot propaganda.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
