Has anyone seen or read The Skeptical Environmentalist? I just happened upon this book on-line. It looks pretty cool. I doubt the guy drives a Hummer but I don't think he's flipping us off either.
Here is one excerpt:
In The Skeptical Environmentalist Bjørn Lomborg challenges widely held beliefs that the global environment is progressively getting worse. Using statistical information from internationally recognized research institutes, Lomborg systematically examines a range of major environmental issues and documents that the global environment has actually improved. He supports his argument with over 2900 footnotes, allowing discerning readers to check his sources.
Lomborg criticizes the way many environmental organizations make selective and misleading use of scientific data to influence decisions about the allocation of limited resources. The Skeptical Environmentalist is a useful corrective to the more alarmist accounts favored by green activists and the media.

Basically these wackos have made saving the environment a religion and finally gone nuts. Now they're using wrong information and leadership to burn down apartments, flame Hummers, and even be stupid enough to flip us off!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
