alita89 's review for:
Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All
by Michael Shellenberger
“For more than 20 yrs, I noted, the national conversation about climate change has been polarized between those who deny it and those who exaggerate it.”
It took me so long to get going on this book. It’s dense. I loved all the science and facts that went into this book, there are around 100 pages of notes/references so you can take a look, do some work and really understand the data to draw your own conclusions. I plan on doing that. Honestly, environmental science is not my favorite science subject. I struggled with conversations about it because all the data I saw in college showed that climate change was happening but also didn’t seem as alarming as activists stated. So I just kept out of the conversation because I figured I must be missing something. I’m glad I read this though because I learned SO much and I would love it if more people read it. I feel like our world would change for the better. Shellenberger deals in facts and hearing his interviews with alarmists was eye opening.
I especially loved the ending about loving humanity and nature. That we save gorillas and turtles not because humanity depends on them but because we love them.
