As you can imagine TreeHugger is always keen to hear of someone taking influential climate change skeptic Bjorn Lomborg down a peg or two, whether it's Stephen Colbert or Joe Romm or, as happened most recently, the British architect Michael Pawlyn of Exploration.

Watch out for Part 2 of Pawlyn's presentation which goes on to explain how the Sahara Forest Project can create zero carbon food, renewable energy and abundant fresh water in some of the most water stressed areas on the planet.
