Trashing the Planet

Summary: Disappointment
Review: I have read Trashing the Planet and Ms.Rays other excellent book Environmental Overkill several years back and they were like a breath of fresh air compared to the B.S. that has been fed to the public by the shovelfull over the past decade or two especially to our children in school by uninformed teachers. The research may seem completely 180 degrees from what you've heard over the years but all you need do is turn to the back of either of these books and you will see the most detailed footnotes and research background information you could possibly ever need. Compare this to the scare tactic used by the environmental extremists and eco-terrorists running around today with not a shred of evidence or worse yet knowing they are wrong and spreading lies anyway because they either a. can't stand big business which of course is the main culprit or b. just think human beings are the worst things to happen to this planet. Read the book and decide for yourself what really makes more sense. i believe you'll find it really is a lot of "common sense"

Review: The author makes some valid points but then extrapolates beyond reasonable conclusions. I ended up laughing out loud when it became obvious that she labels anyone who has reached conclusions contrary to hers a "radical extremist". Oh well.... more toilet paper.

Review: Well researched and footnoted work that puts the lie to many common misperceptions about environmental theory.

A must read for anyone who cares about a balanced view of current environmental doctrine. BTW - forest fires cost the lives of more trees 200 years ago than man does today!

Review: What can you say about someone with the audacity to write a book about the environment when she clearly doesn't understand the difference between a natural water soluble chlorine bond (from volcanoes) and a man-made non water soluble chlorine bond (CFC). The former gets washed out of the atmosphere by rain, the latter makes it up to the ozone layer to disrupt the ozone molecule. Go back to high school chem, poseur.
