The Skeptical Environmentalist: Measuring the Real State of the World (Danish: Verdens sande tilstand, lit. 'The True State of the World') is a book by Danish author and statistician Bjørn Lomborg. The book is controversial for outlining Lomborg's views that concerns and responses to environmental issues are overly pessimistic and unsupported. It was first published in Danish in 1998, while the English edition was published as a work in environmental economics by Cambridge University Press in 2001.

  • El ecologista escéptico es un polémico libro de Bjorn Lomborg (1965–) publicado originalmente en danés con el título Verdens sande tilstand, literalmente El estado real del mundo (Forgalet Centrum, 1998). Posteriormente se publicó una edición inglesa, revisada y mejorada con el título The skeptical environmentalist (Cambridge University Press, 2001) que sería la base de traducciones posteriores. (es)
  • L'Écologiste sceptique - Le véritable état de la planète (titre original en danois : Verdens Sande Tilstand ; littéralement L'état véritable du monde) est un ouvrage polémique de Bjørn Lomborg, un professeur de sciences politiques danois. L'auteur y défend une thèse selon laquelle un certain nombre d'affirmations sur le réchauffement climatique, la surpopulation, la raréfaction des ressources énergétiques, la déforestation, l'extinction des espèces, le manque d'eau, et d'autres questions liées à l'environnement, ne reposent pas sur une analyse pertinente des données disponibles. D'abord publié en danois en 1998, ce livre a ensuite été traduit en anglais en 2001, puis en français en 2004. En raison de l'étendue du projet, de la grande diversité des sujets traités ainsi que de la variété de ses sources, conclusions et commentaires, cet ouvrage entre difficilement dans le cadre strict d’une discipline ou d'une méthodologie scientifique. La classification de ce livre comme essai de sciences environnementales est à l'origine des controverses et débats qu'il a suscités. (fr)
  • The Skeptical Environmentalist: Measuring the Real State of the World (Danish: Verdens sande tilstand, lit. 'The True State of the World') is a book by Danish author and statistician Bjørn Lomborg. The book is controversial for outlining Lomborg's views that concerns and responses to environmental issues are overly pessimistic and unsupported. It was first published in Danish in 1998, while the English edition was published as a work in environmental economics by Cambridge University Press in 2001. In the book, Lomborg sets out what he calls a "litany" of what he considers overly pessimistic claims and policies about environmental issues, and challenges them using cost–benefit analysis. He argues that concerns over pollution, decline in energy resources, deforestation, species loss, water shortages and global warming are overstated, and focus should be diverted to poverty reduction and combatting diseases such as HIV/AIDS. The book generated great controversy upon its release. The veracity of Lomborg's assertions were criticised by the scientific community and environmental groups in Denmark and internationally, including negative reviews in Nature, Grist and Scientific American, and from the Union of Concerned Scientists. Positive reception in some popular media outlets contrasted sharply with this, and this combined with the ensuing debate aided the book's profile. Lomborg was formally accused of scientific dishonesty and was investigated by the Danish Committees on Scientific Dishonesty, which ruled that the book was scientifically dishonest but that Lomborg was innocent of wrongdoing due to his lack of expertise in relevant fields. The Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation later criticised this investigation, but the Committee decided not to reinvestigate on the basis that it would come to the same conclusion. The book established Lomborg's international profile as a prominent critic of the scientific consensus on climate change. He released a follow up, Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist's Guide to Global Warming, in 2007. (en)
  • Världens verkliga tillstånd (danska: Verdens sande tilstand) är en bok om miljöfrågor av dansken Björn Lomborg, utgiven 1998.Samma år utgav han boken på förlaget . Boken är ett inlägg i debatten och driver tesen att de flesta miljöindikatorer har förbättrats under 1900-talet och att miljörörelsen överdriver för egna syften. Bland annat hävdar Lomborg att en ofta citerad siffra om 40 000 utrotade arter per år saknar vetenskaplig grund och att endast små nedskärningar i utsläppen av växthusgaser är nödvändiga för att undvika skadlig global uppvärmning.
