That's a very poor intro, my friend. Meta-commentary is so very rarely productive.

Meta-commentary may not say much about the book itself, but direct commentary on the rhetorical tricks used by anti-environmentalists and creationists is still important. All the noise about how unfairly Lomborg has been treated should itself be open to criticism: it has power, and the power comes from tricks which deserve to be scrutinized.
