Book: 25 Myths Destroying the Environment

25 Myths Destroying the Environment
By Daniel B. Botkin (Foreword by Alfred Runte)

What Many Environmentalists Believe and Why They are Wrong

This book is here to explore the many myths circulating in both ecological and political discussions. What may seem like an environmentally conscious action on one hand may very well be bringing about the unnatural destruction of habitats and ecosystems.

Topics include:

• Is life really that fragile?
• Is consensus science?
• Are recent weather patterns truly proof of long-term weather change?
• Are wildfires really all that bad?
• Are predators absolutely necessary to control populations of other species?

274 pages of myths debunked one by one, with references at the end.
