Lomborg's views and work have attracted both scrutiny and praise from the scientific community. He was formally accused of scientific misconduct over the book; The Skeptical Environmentalist. The Danish Committees on Scientific Dishonesty concluded in an evaluation of the book that "one couldn't prove that Lomborg had deliberately been scientifically dishonest, although he had broken the rules of scientific practice in that he interpreted results beyond the conclusions of the authors he cited." His positions on climate change have been challenged by experts and characterized as cherry picking.
