 The January 2002 issue of "Scientific American" contained, under the heading "Misleading Math about the Earth", a set of essays by several scientists, which maintain that Lomborg and "The Skeptical Environmentalist" misrepresent both scientific evidence and scientific opinion.The magazine then refused Lomborg's request to print a lengthy point-by-point rebuttal in his own defence, on the grounds that the 32 pages would have taken a disproportionate share of the month's installment.
