Description
Bjørn Lomborg challenges widely held environmental beliefs in his new book, The Skeptical Environmentalist. Using statistical information from internationally recognized research institutes, he examines major environmental issues and documents that the world has actually improved.
He argues that many environmental organizations make selective and misleading use of scientific evidence, leading to decisions based on inaccurate or incomplete information. Lomborg stresses the need for clear-headed prioritization of resources to tackle real problems, rather than imagined ones.
This book offers a non-partisan evaluation of the environmental situation, providing a useful corrective to alarmist accounts favored by campaign groups and the media. With over 2500 footnotes, readers can check Lomborg's sources and form their own opinions on the state of the world.
