It quotes Lomborg's Aug 15 post ("Last 5 years, Great Barrier Reef coral cover better than ever…"), calls him "a long-time climate contrarian", and relies on AIMS and reef scientists (Sara Cannon, Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, Kate Quigley, Benjamin Henley) to argue that cover alone doesn't show resilience. - Wrote "Meat availability in Danish care homes at center of misleading claims" (AFP, Oct 28, 2026), which leads with Lomborg's Oct 19 post. - Lomborg's Oct 29 thread says she "never checked the numbers" and "changed the subject". In both pieces she accepts the underlying data and disputes his framing.
