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. Throughout the book, his sources are fully referenced, allowing discerning readers to investigate the facts used to support his argument. Lomborg criticizes the way many environmental organizations make selective and misleading use of scientific data to influence decisions about the allocation of limited resources. Written by a nonpartisan, independent thinker, The Skeptical Environmentalist is a useful corrective to the more alarmist accounts favored by green activists and the media. 650 0 $a Global environmental change. 650 0 $a Pollution. 650 0 $a Human ecology. 650 6 $a Changement global (Environnement) 650 6 $a Pollution. 650 6 $a EÌcologie humaine. 650 17 $a Milieuvraagstuk. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Milieuverandering. $2 gtt 856 41 $3 Sample text $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/samples/cam031/00068915.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/cam021/00068915.html 856 41 $3 Table of contents $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/cam021/00068915.html 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0731/00068915-b.html 941 $a 25 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724054554.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717023446.0 952 $l N2AX314 $d 20210728013342.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722031648.0 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20200108011224.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926080932.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20180522010700.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180116053101.0 952 $l URAX314 $d 20170609024330.0 952 $l YKPE532 $d 20130314035021.0 952 $l UUAX975 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UTAX314 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UDAX314 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l PTAX572 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l PHAX277 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OUAX845 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OSAX771 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OMAX631 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OAAX516 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l O3AX572 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l N3AX771 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l AXPF626 $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B05677FE2AFF11DE94E19907A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IWVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
