For many years a marginal concern confined to the science pages, the environmental debate is now firmly anchored in the mainstream. For every “green” point of view there exists a conflicting, skeptical position, leading to a bewildering hubbub of claim and counter-claim.
Eco Logical! casts a considered, objective eye over today’s most contentious environmental issues, including: Should we build more nuclear power plants? Has aviation been unfairly maligned? How can we enable developing nations to improve their standard of living, while curbing global greenhouse-gas emissions? For each subject, there’s a succinct opening summary of the key arguments followed by a detailed examination of the subtleties of each position and a balanced conclusion that takes into account the merits of each case.
For everyone concerned with the fate of planet Earth, here is the most telling information in a clear, unbiased text.
