Book Reviews of Earth Report 2000: Revisiting the True State of the Planet
Book Review: No no no!
Summary: 1 Stars
If you believe that global warming is a hoax and we are maintaining 'no net loss' of wetlands in the US, then this book is for you.
If you have any sort of scientific knowledge about the environment you will find numerous assumptions and 'facts' that are simply awful and give naive readers the wrong impression about the actual state of the planet.
This book is in my recyling bin.
Summary of Earth Report 2000: Revisiting the True State of the Planet
Earth Report 2000 is an authoritative guide to the Earth's environment at the turn of the millennium, sponsored by the Competitive Enterprise Institute--called "the best environmental think tank in the nation," by the Wall Street Journal--and written by a collection of the most prestigious environmental researchers. These experts calmly and accurately assess the ecological situation of the planet--on subjects ranging from global warming and ocean water quality to overpopulation and biodiversity. They explain what we do know, what we don't know, and offer sensible, scientific solutions to those real problems we do face. The book has ten chapters, each covering, in depth, a different environmental or health-related issue. These issues were chosen for their topicality (these are ecological problems that are often covered in the major media) and because there is some controversy among scientists about the extent of the problem. Earth Report is a unique book on the environment: written by scientists, but intended to be read by the rest of us.General Books
