The skeptical environmentalist

Measuring the Real State of the World
Book • 2001
In this book, Bjørn Lomborg challenges the conventional wisdom on environmental issues by arguing that many of the claims made by environmentalists are exaggerated or misleading.

Using extensive statistical data from recognized research institutes, Lomborg examines various environmental topics such as deforestation, pollution, water scarcity, and global warming.

He contends that economic growth and technological advancements can address many of these issues more effectively than the policies advocated by environmental groups.

The book has been both praised for its detailed analysis and criticized for its methodology and interpretation of data.
