Anti-Environmental Books

For those environmentalists who want to know what they are up against, here are some books that argue that environmental concerns are exaggerated or that environmentalists are misguided, loony, or just evil.


  • "A Moment on the Earth: The Coming Age of Environmental Optimism"
    by Gregg Easterbrook. Easterbrook argues in this book and in his columns (he writes for The New Republic) that things aren't really so bad, and that Bush is actually doing a fair job on the environment.

  • "The Skeptical Environmentalist: Measuring the Real State of the World"
    by Bjorn Lomborg. Like Easterbrook, Lomborg argues that most environmental concerns are exaggerations, and that worrying about global warming is not worth the time or money.

  • "Facts, Not Fear: Teaching Children About the Environment"
    by Michael Sanera, Jane S. Shaw. This book is about "protecting" children from environmentalist propaganda.


  • "Hoodwinking the Nation" by Julian Simon. Simon claims that reports of looming environmental problems are fraudulent.

  • "State Of Fear" by Michael Crichton (Fiction). A thriller with environmentalists as the bad guys.
