The
Skeptical Environmentalist challenges widely held beliefs that the
environmental situation is getting worse and worse. The author, himself a
former member of Greenpeace, is critical of the way in which many environmental organisations
make selective and misleading use of the scientific evidence. Using the
best available statistical information from internationally recognised
research institutes, Bjшrn Lomborg systematically examines a range of major environmental problems
that feature prominently in headline news across the world. His
arguments are presented in non-technical, accessible language and are
carefully backed up by over 2500 footnotes allowing readers to check
sources for themselves. Concluding that there are more reasons for
optimism than pessimism, Bjшrn Lomborg stresses the need for
clear-headed prioritisation of resources to tackle real, not imagined
problems. The Skeptical Environmentalist offers readers a non-partisan stocktaking exercise
