Climate fear 2

(cont'd from yesterday's post)

Shellenberger's book, Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All, is being praised by environmentalists who agree that climate rhetoric whips up inappropriate, non-factual fear.

Mr. Shellenberger wants to correct false claims of alarmists. Here are a few of his points:

• climate change is not making natural disasters worse
• carbon emissions are declining in most rich nations
• wood fuel is far worse for people and wildlife than fossil fuels

As a consistent activist, he's been on a mission over the past few years to save nuclear plants, which are emissions-free.

Much more information is available at the website of his organization, Environmental Progress.
