Eco-scam: The False Prophets of the Ecological Apocalypse

Today I am reading Ronald Bailey, Eco-Scam: The False Prophets of Ecological Apocalypse.

in an email exchange with a psychologist in L.A. I got onto this idea of ecologists being false prophets. That conversation didn't go far, unfortunately, but during the course of it I came up with the thought that ecologists are false prophets. I looked on the Internet, and sure enough, I found the title above. I now have the book. It's written by a magazine journalist, so there isn't any great thinking in it, but the subject carries the work well enough.

Of the three reviews, be warned that at least one person didn't like the book. His review should tell you enough to decide for yourself:

Corporate Rubbish, June 25, 2005
This review is from: Eco-Scam: The False Prophets of Ecological Apocalypse (Hardcover)
This book isn't worth a cent. It's full of lies and major flaws.
Almost all scientists agree that global warming is a real danger to mankind. Insteed read something like Boiling Point or Complete Idiot's Guide to Global Warming.

If that doesn't get the point across, I'm sure PeaceCommie will have more to tell you when he controls the universe. Wait for it.

I'll try to add more when I finish the book.
