Even more brutal than Patrick Moore! A brief but bitingly succinct crtique of the movement that has, as its openly stated goal, the winding back & reversal of all the benefits to mankind of the Industrial Revolution and discarding most of the advances in "real" science made over the past 200 years. A must read f. "Clarity on a Controversial Issue!" according to RightStuff. Reisman breaks the "Chicken Little" philosophy of the leftists who want to scare our pants off about our environment. He carefully dissects the arguments of those who would wish to panic ordinary people into forking over cash to fraudulent causes. Reisman gives illustration a.
