Bjørn Lomborg centre got $640,000 for report saying limiting warming rise to 2C not worth it

Bjørn Lomborg’s Copenhagen Consensus
Centre was paid $640,000 before
  its Australian program was dropped.

Australia’s education department paid Bjørn Lomborg’s Copenhagen Consensus Centre $640,000 to help produce a report that claimed limiting world temperature increases to 2C was a “poor” use of money.

The $640,000 cost, incurred before the CCC’s controversial $4m Australian program was junked, is revealed in the 2016 incoming ministerial brief published under freedom of information laws.

An education department spokeswoman told Guardian Australia the $640,000 represented the Australian government contribution to the CCC for the Smarter UN Post-2015 Development Goals project.
