Negative Positive
Title: Skeptical about The Skeptical Environmentalist
Review: The book is badly flawed.It is selective, ignoring, for example, undeniable coral reef degradation, which is caused by a mix of human (e.g., pollution run off, dynamite and cyanide fishing, anchor damage) and natural (e.g., El Nino) causes.It contains self-contradictions, perhaps due to different students doing the research for different chapters (e.g., page 96 "The population is growing more and more slowly" whereas page 46 [Fig. 11] shows population growth on the steepest part of the population versus date curve....I wish I could rate it zero stars.
