Green Hell

Steven Milloy has been an active opponent of the green movement--here he takes on its motives and tactics. Robertson Dean's sarcastic tone can be hilarious as he delivers Milloy's take on journal articles, current events, and policy statements about climate change. Milloy's research and snappy writing style will make listeners analyze green rhetoric. However, listeners might also think about a favorite Milloy target, Paul Ehrlich. It's true that the overpopulation crisis he predicted hasn't materialized, and that's because, Milloy notes, the rise in population was met with technological improvements. But can we be sure those improvements would have taken place without Ehrlich's warnings? Milloy's thoughts about regulation and freedom are important; listeners on both sides need to weigh each claim and option carefully. J.A.S. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
