Apocalypse Never book cover
Apocalypse Never
Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All
Michael Shellenberger - 2020-06-23
Goodreads Rating
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.

@repmorgan Yes! Thank you! Critical to understand, but never mentioned in the media. Michael Shellenberger's book "Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us" is a pleasing exception. Makes your point with many additional well-researched examples @ShellenbergerMD      source

@RealJamesWoods The coordinating mechanism for "news" like this is detailed in Sharyl Attkisson's book, "The Smear". Should be required reading in every high school. Essential reading for adults too! @SharylAttkisson      source
