Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All
Read the insightsMichael Shellenberger has been a passionate and respected environmentalist involved in causes all over the world, from Brazilian rainforests to South Korea’s nuclear power programs. But he also takes issue with the climate of hysteria that many environmentalists have engendered in their efforts to save the planet. Shellenberger argues that much of it is unwarranted, and that the hysteria obscures the more pressing environmental needs and blocks solutions to the very problems alarmists bemoan.
