That dirty word

Al Gore is on Capitol Hill today (3/21) testifying before the House and Senate on climate change. The panels he will be addressing will include climate change skeptics "of the sort Gore probably hasn't met on the red carpet," according to the Washington Post. Who are these scary skeptics?
First, that giant of climate science, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.). The other climate skeptic is Bjorn Lomborg, currently adjunct professor at the Copenhagen Business School. Back in 1998, Lomborg wrote The Skeptical Environmentalist, in which he denounced many of the concerns of environmental science, especially climate change. This brought much condemnation from the scientific community and Lomborg was roundly denounced by the likes of Edmund O. Wilson, Lester Brown and the Union of Concerned Scientists.
I've seen some of the morning testimony, and Gore more than held his own.
