Negative Positive
Title: Junk
Review: I read this book to see if it was as provocative as the reviews had said: Well, it was not. The only credit that I would give Lomborg is that of being very creative with numbers. I read a little background on him to test the credibility of his claims and he seems marginally trained (considering that he is a mathmatician and not a life or social scientist) for his assertions. The very things he critizes environmentalists about, such as sloppy source work and using skewed numbers, are what he seems most guilty of. I could complain about this book for a very long time: I will not. If you are environmentalist do not read this book: it will only make you mad. If you are not an environmentalist, at least read environmentally skeptical work that is credible. This book is not and there are enough valid skeptical works out there.
Is the review positive or negative?
