520 $aThe modern environmentalist movement began with the publication of three seminal works: Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, Paul Ehrlich's The Population Bomb, and the Club of Rome's The Limits of Growth. These books' dismal vision of a poisoned, overpopulated, polluted, resource-depleted world spiraling downward toward environmental collapse are today's conventional wisdom. According to a number of respected scientists, however, leaders of the environmental movement are guilty of twisting and sometimes manufacturing facts in an effort to frighten people into joining their cause. In this eye-opening book, some of the most respected researchers in the country explode the myths behind much of the doom and gloom of today's environmental movement. You will discover how the hysteria about global warming overpopulation, mass extinctions, coming food shortages, biotechnology, energy shortages, and more are grounded not in reason but in false science and fear of progress. Ultimately, the book will show that uniting much of the environmental movement is an agenda that is not so much antipollution as it is antihuman.
