Burn, Baby Bjorn, Burn!
The Report From the Committees on Saying McCarthyism in Danish
By <mailto:cpf@reason.com> Charles Paul Freund
Did you see where the Greens in Denmark have burned Bjorn Lomborg at the
stake? A Danish institution with a deeply impressive (even pluralized!) name
stenciled on its door, The Committees on Scientific Dishonesty, has reviewed
Lomborg's book, The Skeptical Environmentalist, a statistical
<http://www.reason.com/links/%20http:/www.lomborg.com/files/Washington%20pos
t%20review%2021-10-01.htm> inquiry into the claims of Wild
Environmentalism, and has made its pronouncement
<http://www.forsk.dk/uvvu/nyt/udtaldebat/bl_decision.htm> . Having examined
the complaints against Lomborg, the Committees placed the Wig of
Judiciousness on its head and lit the straw at the Danish statistician's
feet.
"Objectively speaking," the Committees intoned, "the publication of the work
under consideration is deemed to fall within the concept of scientific
dishonesty."
It's interesting to observe how impressively Denmark resolves issues of
science that arise within its borders: by pronouncement. This saves a lot of
time that is otherwise wasted on observation, experiment, analysis, and
debate. The "pronouncement" business has a long and distinguished history,
of course, having served the Counter-Reformation Church so well in its own
battle against heresy <http://www1.umn.edu/ships/religion/galileo.htm> , and
Stalinist science so effectively in its campaign in support of
<http://www.comms.dcu.ie/sheehanh/lysenko.htm> Lysenkoism. Nor is there any
reason to question the disinterestedness of such Committees, since their own
witness to their own objectivity is so conveniently placed within their own
pronouncement.
Most impressive of all, however, is the manner with which this process has
approached the question of evidence. What instances of Lomborg's dishonesty
have the Committees cited in support of their pronouncement? This is where
they've covered themselves with glory. Evidence is beneath the Committees'
contempt; they've cited none. That would have opened the door to a rebuttal
on the merits. Why be bothered?
The Economist calls
<http://www.economist.com/printedition/displayStory.cfm?Story_ID=1522706>
this process Orwellian, incompetent, and shameful, while Tech Central
Station says it's a smear
<http://www.techcentralstation.com/1051/envirowrapper.jsp?PID=1051-450&CID=1
051-010803F> . Even so, <http://www.lomborg.com> Lomborg says it makes him
uncomfortable, and who can blame him? Lomborg may have the statistical case
on his side (the Danish Committees sure didn't put a dent in it), but that
can be small comfort when one is up against a well-publicized charge from a
body with an impressive name.
What Lomborg needs are other sorts of pronouncements from other
self-important bodies located in appropriate nations. That is why I'm so
pleased today to report the findings of the Committees on Discovering Moral
Fraudulence Masquerading as Something Else. These Committees do business in
<http://us.imdb.com/Title?0023969> Freedonia, a nation established decades
ago by the Marx Brothers and therefore bringing exactly the desired
sensibility to the campaign against Lomborg. Why should these Committees'
pronouncements be taken seriously? Because its members are in possession of
an impressive set of judicial wigs. Having placed those wigs askew on their
heads, the Freedonian Ministers of Pronouncements have denounced the Danish
Committees as a collection of "
<http://www.geocities.com/sopadegansos/spaulding.htm> schnorrers," have
refused to lend them any more money, and are even refusing to return the
Danes' door stencils, deposited in Freedonia as collateral.
Additionally, the Committees on Saying McCarthyism in Danish have weighed
in. This group is based in
<http://www.classicbookshelf.com/library/anthony_hope/the_prisoner_of_zenda/
1> Ruritania, a ludicrous monarchy that figures prominently in the forgotten
novels of Arthur Hope. Ruritania is an excellent location to debate
Lomborg's critics, because it is a place best known for the extravagance of
its military epaulettes. Consistent with their national reputation for
impenetrable intrigue, the Ruritanian Committees have dressed up to look
exactly like the Danish Committees in question, and have issued a
counter-statement in the Danish language that pretends to be the work of the
Danish Committees itself. That document demands that Denmark's royal family
wear more epaulette braids while riding their bicycles. The smirk on the
faces of the Ruritanian imposters at their press conference suggests that
there is a good deal more to their conspiracy, but that by the time we turn
the last page of the story it will be next to impossible to reconstruct what
actually happened.
Finally, the Committees on Pronouncing Pronouncements, based in Pyongyang,
North Korea, reports that it intends to buy yet another two-page spread of
The New York Times. There, they will print, in 6-point type, the text of a
speech begun several days ago by their unique head of state, and still going
on. The ad will, as usual, declare socialism's inevitable victory, and cite
as evidence the Danish Committees' appropriation of North Korea's scientific
methods.
Perhaps none of these developments will reduce Bjorn Lomborg's
understandable unhappiness, but it will at least place the Danish
Committees' pronouncements in a context befitting their seriousness.
