Selectivity found to be not uncommon

Tim Blair lists some of the mean and nasty names Bjorn Lomborg has called the Stern Review:

... selective, flawed, fear-mongering, hastily put-together, sloppy, unlikely, problematic, unrealistically pessimistic, alarmist ...

Interestingly, Blair has selectively overlooked the following pivotal sentence from Lomborg’s critique:

The review correctly points out that climate change is a real problem, and that it is caused by human greenhouse-gas emissions.

Now, why would the Muftim overlook this rather salient point?

And did any of his commenters query this oversight? Nah, I can’t be bothered looking.
