Product Description
Iain Murray's rollicking exposé reveals how environmental blowhards waste more energy, endanger more species, and actually kill more people than the environmental villains they finger.

5 out of 5 stars Well Researched and Balanced Environmentalism   June 13, 2008
S. Peek (Rocky Mountains, USA)
49 out of 54 found this review helpful

As anyone who pays any attention to current events knows, energy and food prices are spiralling upward. Many do not know the reasons for that.

In this scholarly review of the subject, Iain Murray explores those issues and several others. He not only provides the reasons for many of our current predicaments, he also supplies solutions.

As the subtitle states, this book deals with 'seven environmental catastrophes that liberals don't want you to know about - because they helped cause them.' Although many environmentalists likely have good motives, the unintended consequences of the policies that they push have been and continue to be disastrous for our planet and the human race.

One example is the ban on the 'dreaded DDT'. Mr. Murray does a great job of showing how that ban has resulted in the deaths of a countless number of children in Africa due to malaria.

Another is ethanol. Murray makes the case that the ethanol mandates enacted by the U.S. Congress have led to much higher food prices and shortages. Additionally, it is ineffective in battling the 'problem'. Ethanol may produce 1/3 less greenhouse gas than gasoline, but it uses more gasoline to produce it than it replaces.

The Yellowstone Fire of 1988 is another great environmental tragedy brought about by the policies of so-called environmentalists. The war against logging and the anti controlled burn crusades created a powder keg. The fuel buildup was so huge that a massive fire was inevitable.

In the case of The Endangered Species Act, Mr. Murray shows how it has created disincentives to protect some of the species it claims to champion while at the same time wreaking havoc on our economy.

There are several other disasters that leftist environmentalist policies have caused. As Murray says, 'Liberal environmentalism, with its focus on box-checking rules, preference for word over substance, and its obsession with punishment of the guilty, has on too many occasions failed to prevent environmental damage, and in the meantime has harmed the economy and the humans whose well-being the economy represents.'

This is an important and timely book. From skyrocketing energy prices to high priced food and shortages of the same, the policies of the radical environmentalist movement are greatly damaging the world food supply, economy, and the environment. This book should be read by all voters and policymakers.

There are some issues which the press doesn't present in a one-sided fashion: the ones they refuse to mention at all.

If you want to learn about problems which you won't hear about otherwise, this book is the place to start. If you read only the section on malaria you'll never look at environmentalism the same way again.

Plus, this is the perfect Earth Day gift!


5 out of 5 stars The Best Recent Book About the Environment. Period.   April 24, 2008
Dr3rdEye (Oak Hill, VA)
97 out of 118 found this review helpful

I'll make it simple: this is the best book written about the environment in the past five years. It's a well-researched, well-written, never boring look at the way that the liberal passion for central planning has damaged just about every aspect of the natural environment. Although the subject mater may seem dry at first glance, this book actually makes it fun. It's a must-read.


5 out of 5 stars The end of the world is not the only option   May 17, 2008
Lene Johansen (Columbia, MO USA)
45 out of 55 found this review helpful

Iain Murray's book tells a dismal tale of the issues that the environmental movement failed. Patrick Moore (Greenpeace founder) has often talked about the reasons he left the movement he founded. He has mentioned the dismal view of humans, the radicalization of the movement, the lack of science-based policy pursuit. Iain Murray does not tell you that it is so, he shows you the issues that the movement abandoned and disregarded because it was convenient.

The people involved in either side of this debate are often angry and defensive. The debate has been dirty for a long time. What struck me with Murray's book is his gentle voice, his descriptive, evidence based narrative. I grew up in the green movement; my first political engagement was in the Norwegian version of Friends of the Earth's youth group. I soon got disillusioned, and had I known the seven truths that Murray tells, I might have left sooner than I did.

If you are serious about your desire do conservation work, if you are serious about your dedication to make the human footprint on earth smaller, read this book. There are other alternatives out there, where you can contribute to a greener, wealthier world. A world where humans flourish and the environment is protected. Don't by into the dismal view of the Malthusian totalitarians. As Murray shows in this book, their policies kills people and hurts the environment.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Work   May 30, 2008
Crosslands (Maryland USA)
20 out of 23 found this review helpful

Mr. Murray has written a very interesting and informative book on how dogmatic environmentalists have often actually worsened environmental problems or human living conditions or both. Mr. Murray demonstrates that a main part of the problem of the environmentalist dogma is the hostility to property rights. He demonstrates how this rejection of property rights led to the fires of debris on the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland Ohio. Also relevant is the vanishing of the Aral Sea in Central Asia.

Mr. Murray also discusses other environmentalist made crises like the banning of the insecticide DDT and the emergence of malaria in Africa and other areas. Other notable crises discussed include the take over of crop land for ethanol production and the environmental restrictions that created fire prone areas near housing developments and national parks in the United States.

To his great credit Mr. Murray has exposed a lot of the fallacies of Al Gore's unscientific rant An Inconvenient Truth.

In essence Mr. Murray demonstrates that religious and dogmatic environmentalism has most often worsened both the environment and the human condition.

Mr. Murray covers a lot of the same ground as John Berlau in his excellent book Eco-Freaks: Environmentalism Is Hazardous to Your Health!. However these authors often do write about different topics. For example Mr. Berlau writes about the environmentalist opposition to adequate flood protection in New Orleans and the use of asbestos that could have prevented the collapse of the World Trade Center towers. I feel Mr. Berlau writes a bit better. But still Mr. Murray has written an excellent work that merits the widest readership.
