Continued Debate and Criticism
The rulings of the Danish authorities in 2003–2004 left Lomborg's critics frustrated, while Lomborg was jubilant, claiming vindication as a result of MSTI's decision to set aside DCSD funding. But critics pointed out that while Skeptical Environmentalist had not been ruled invalid, the work had not received any scientific validation.
A Dutch think tank, Heidelberg Appeal, published a report in which it claimed 25 out of 27 accusations against Lomborg to be unsubstantiated or not pertinent. A group of related scientists also published an article in 2005 in the Journal of Information Ethics, in which they concluded that most criticism against Lomborg was unjustified, and that the scientific community had misused their authority to suppress the author.
