Title: but you don't have to take my word for it
Review: anyone interested in reading this book, or better yet, anyone who has read this book, should read the ongoing review that Scientific American magazine has done on it. ...BR>In its January 2002 issue, Scientific American gave some real experts on the environment 11 pages to critique Lomborg's work, and their accusations are startling. From taking quotations out of context, to citing outdated sources, to only presenting one side of a hotly debated issue, "The Skeptical Environmentalist" leaves readers with good reason to remain skeptical. Might be of use to math and social science teachers as an interesting case study in the ways professional-looking statistics can be used to mislead the public.
