The Skeptical Environmentalist book cover

The Skeptical Environmentalist

Measuring the Real State of the World

Bjorn Lomborg

This book challenges the belief that the environment is getting worse, and highlights how environmental organisations use selective and misleading scientific evidence. Using accessible language and over 2500 footnotes for referencing, the author examines major environmental problems using statistically supported information. Ultimately, the book emphasizes the need for clear-headed prioritization of resources to tackle real, not imagined problems. A non-partisan perspective on the environment that serves as a useful corrective to alarmist accounts favored by campaign groups and the media.
