Michael Shellenberger explores how environmental alarmism can be detrimental in his article, "Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All". He examines how fear-based messaging can be dangerous and how it can lead to ineffective solutions. He discusses how this kind of messaging can be used to manipulate public opinion, and how it can lead to a lack of trust in science and experts.

Fred Bosman: Great book covering the lies about renewable energy

Canada on Dec 23, 2023

Jacky P.: Le discours environnemental dominant est, de nos jours, décidément malthusien, misanthrope et dogmatique. Ce livre est, au contraire, humaniste. Il place l'humain au centre, et préfère la raison au dogme. Ce fut rafraichissant.

Leib Gershon Mitchell: Book Review
Apocalypse Never
5 stars plus

°°°°°°°
This is a brilliant book, and although it does have some overlap with things that I've read before it is still well worth the purchase price because it consolidates so much helpful information all in one place.

Of the book itself:

1. It runs 392 pages including the bibliography. (The bibliography itself is 103 pages, or just over one quarter of the length of the book.)

2. 12 chapters over 283 pages of prose works out to about 25 pages per chapter.

Moreover, the chapters are subdivided into bite-sized essays. (It's something like 8 to 10 subsections for each chapter.)

3. Shellenberger strikes just the right balance between prose that is too terse or too fatty--and as such, he is a delight to read.

4. The book can be read out of order.

The Salem Witch Hysteria only happened several hundred years ago, and it's a pretty safe bet to say that the structure of the human brain is not changed in that blink of an eye (in evolutionary terms) that we should be surprised that a new version of the Salem Witch Hysteria is happening all over again. (Even as this...

Brazil on Sep 06, 2022

Albert: La mejor defensa del medio ambiente desde un punto de vista humanista, sin los vicios del ecologismo anti-progreso que recomiendan a los países en desarrollo hacer todo lo que nosotros no hicimos ni hacemos. Una mirada equilibrada a la par que optimista sobre un tema que ha sido politizado hasta extremos exagerados para servir agendas ideológicas que se habían quedado huérfanas e intereses económicos camuflados de altruismo. Shellenberger aplica el "optimismo racional" de Matt Ridley o Steven Pinker al ámbito de la naturaleza y calentamiento global, siendo su obra un complemento perfecto al trabajo de aquellos. Apocalypse Never cuenta además con una excelente discusión sobre sostenibilidad y eficiencia energética, poniendo en entredicho algunas modas actuales que bajo mayor escrutinio no son tan sostenibles como parecen (renovables, ganado en libertad, etc.), y defendiendo la energía nuclear como la más limpia y la más segura de todas - una posición cada vez menos controvertida (pregunten a Bill Gates) pese a la campaña de difamación que lleva sufriendo durante décadas. Si estás interesado en ecologismo real y humanista, y no en ecologismo de postureo, recomiendo...

Frederic G. Marks: APOCALYPSE NEVER—Amazon review

Apocalypse Never is an extremely important—and highly readable—book about Earth’s environment and contemporary human society. The author is a lifelong environmentalist. This book carries forward Michael Shellenberger’s personal mission—to protect the natural environment and to achieve the goal of universal prosperity for all people.

Shellenberger explains, “I wrote Apocalypse Never because the conversation about climate change and the environment has spiraled out of control.” In England, for example, leaders of an organization called Extinction Rebellion have made claims on national television, that because of climate change “Billions of people are going to die. Life on Earth is dying. Governments aren’t addressing it.”

A 16-year old Swedish girl became an international celebrity in 2019 for crying out that same message. In September 2019, a survey of thirty thousand people around the world found that 48 percent believed climate change would make humanity extinct.

Many young people are suffering psychic trauma because they have heard some of their elders predicting over and over again that “our kids...
