Extract
In The Skeptical Environmentalist, Danish statistician Bjorn Lomborg delivers one overarching message: don't worry. The world is doing fine. Water, forests, fossil fuel supplies, biodiversity, and air quality are all in good shape, and most are getting better. Global human welfare is improving in every possible way. Thing are not perfect, but technology will deliver the answers to all our worries. Contemporary environmental concerns are a “litany” developed by a handful of people to serve their own agendas. Above all, Lomborg seeks to free the world from the tyranny of that litany.
