Here's a nugget which deserves more attention:
Just this last April, the emeritus professor at Berkeley Jack Hollander published The Real Environmental Crisis: How Poverty, Not Affluence, Is the Environment's Number One Enemy, published, as Lomborg's book was, by a distinguished academic press. The book shifts the terms of debate over environmental health and stewardship, pointing out that the extreme pessimism of green groups and the environmental movement is simply not supported by the available science.
The Western world pollutes far less than the Eastern world. Why? Because *well-developed* socities develop pollution solutions, while under-developed countries are far less able/willing to enact environmental controls. Economic development, modernation, westernization, are the keys to a happy earth. That's a tough pill for some to swallow.
