If you want to spend time predictably spinning in circles in your analysis because you can’t bring yourself to believe someone is lying, be my guest.
As for the specific authors: the individual reports written seem fine in themselves, and as for the geoengineering one, I know a guy who did a PhD under the author and said he’s generally trustworthy (I recall Vaniver was in his PhD program too). Like what I’m saying is the specific reports, e.g. Bickel’s report on geoengineering, seem fine, but Lomborg’s synthesis of them is shit, and you’re obscuring things with your niceness-and-good-faith approach.
Less of this, please. From what Lanrian is citing Lomborg does not come close to outright lying. (there might be more in the link, I have not read anything but the comments.) Accusing somebody of literally lying is a very strong accusation and should only be done in the egregious cases for all the usual reasons.
You are clearly well-informed about this matter. Your earlier comment was helpful and updated me in various directions. You could make me update me even more by applying the Principle of Charity.
