The
Skeptical Environmentalist: Measuring the Real State of the World
by Bjorn Lomborg
Synopsis 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, Bjorn 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, Bjorn 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 that serves as a useful corrective to the more alarmist
accounts favoured by campaign groups and the media.
