Apocalypse Never
Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All
Michael Shellenberger
A lifelong environmental activist and energy expert speaks out about the rise of apocalyptic environmentalism in his thought-provoking book. Michael Shellenberger separates science from fiction by providing basic facts that most remain ignorant of. He sheds light on the powerful financial interests, desires for status and power, and the spiritual impulse of supposedly secular people for transcendence that drives this apocalyptic environmentalism. The new religion is failing to satisfy our deepest psychological and existential needs, and Shellenberger's book is an eye-opening read for anyone who wants to understand the many complex issues at play.
