As you’ve been constantly throughout this thread saying climate change science is a fake hoax Bjorn Lomberg’s unqualified opinion doesn’t even really back up yours, now does he?

And for your info in recent years it looks like even he wants research into renewable energy increased and a reduction in fossil fuel subsidies, which most deniers will oppose (from his wiki):

Lomborg's approach evolved in directions more compatible with action to restrain climate change. In April 2015 he gained further attention when he issued a call for all subsidies to be removed from fossil fuels on the basis that "a disproportionate share of the subsidies goes to the middle class and the rich"...making fossil fuel so "inexpensive that consumption increases, thus exacerbating global warming". In publications such as the Wall Street Journal he argued that the most productive use of resources would be a massive increase in funding for research to make renewable energy economically competitive with fossil fuels.
