Histoire
We are living through the most prosperous age in all of human history, yet we are listless, divided, and miserable. Wealth and comfort are unparalleled, but our political landscape is unmoored, and rates of suicide, loneliness, and chronic illness continue to skyrocket. How do we explain the gap between these truths? And how should we respond? For evolutionary biologists Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein, the cause of our troubles is clear: The accelerating rate of change in the modern world has outstripped the capacity of our brains and bodies to adapt.

Histoire
For over a decade, philosopher and energy expert Alex Epstein has predicted that any negative impacts of fossil fuel use on our climate will be outweighed by the unique benefits of fossil fuels to human flourishing—including their unrivaled ability to provide low-cost, reliable energy to billions of people around the world, especially the world’s poorest people. And contrary to what we hear from media “experts” about today’s “renewable revolution” and “climate emergency”, reality has proven Epstein right.

Histoire
When it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that "the science is settled." In reality, the long game of telephone from research to reports to the popular media is corrupted by misunderstanding and misinformation. Core questions - about the way the climate is responding to our influence, and what the impacts will be - remain largely unanswered. The climate is changing, but the why and how aren't as clear as you've probably been led to believe.

In June 2020, prominent business and political leaders gathered for the fiftieth annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, under the rubric of "The Great Reset." In the words of WEF founder Klaus Schwab, the Great Reset is a "unique window of opportunity" afforded by the worldwide COVID-19 panic to build "a new social contract" ushering in a utopian era of economic, social, and environmental justice. But beneath their lofty and inspiring words, what are their actual plans?

It dawned on me one day that most of the scare stories in the media today are based on things that are either invisible, like CO2 and radiation, or very remote, like polar bears and coral reefs. Thus, the average person cannot observe and verify the truth of these claims for themselves. They must rely on activists, the media, politicians, and scientists - all of whom have a huge financial and/or political interest in the subject - to tell them the truth.

For decades environmentalists have told us that using fossil fuels is a self-destructive addiction that will destroy our planet. Yet by every measure of human well-being, from life expectancy to clean water to climate safety, life has been getting better and better. How can this be? The explanation is that we usually hear only one side of the story. We're taught to think only of the negatives of fossil fuels, their risks and side effects, but not their positives.

Parents are undermined; experts are over-relied upon; dissenters in science and medicine are intimidated; free speech truckles under renewed attack; socialized medicine bears hidden consequences; and an intersectional era has arisen in which the desire to escape a dominant identity encourages individuals to take cover in victim groups. Every person who has ever had a skeptical thought about the sudden rush toward a non-binary future but been afraid to express it - this book is for you.

Totalitarianism is not a coincidence and does not form in a vacuum. It arises from a collective psychosis that has followed a predictable script throughout history. In The Psychology of Totalitarianism, world-renowned Professor of Clinical Psychology Mattias Desmet deconstructs the societal conditions that allow this collective psychosis to take hold. By looking at our current situation and identifying the phenomenon of “mass formation”—a type of collective hypnosis—he clearly illustrates how close we are to surrendering to totalitarian regimes.

For generations, everything has been getting faster, better, and cheaper. Finally, we reached the point that almost anything you could ever want could be sent to your home within days—even hours—of when you decided you wanted it. America made that happen, but now America has lost interest in keeping it going. Peter Zeihan maps out the next world: a world where countries or regions will have no choice but to make their own goods, grow their own food, secure their own energy, fight their own battles, and do it all with populations that are both shrinking and aging.

Histoire
Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better. This is the vision of the Great Reset, according to globalist leaders. While proponents of the Great Reset push slogans like “Build Back Better”, “The Fourth Industrial Revolution”, and “A New Normal”, the Reset is nothing short of a rebranded Soviet system, threatening to strip away property rights, restrict freedom of movement and association, and radically reshape our diets and way of life.
Auteur(s): Marc Morano
Description
Climate change is real, but it’s not the end of the world. It is not even our most serious environmental problem.
Michael Shellenberger has been fighting for a greener planet for decades. He helped save the world’s last unprotected redwoods. He co-created the predecessor to today’s Green New Deal. And he led a successful effort by climate scientists and activists to keep nuclear plants operating, preventing a spike of emissions.
But in 2019, as some claimed "billions of people are going to die", contributing to rising anxiety, including among adolescents, Shellenberger decided that, as a lifelong environmental activist, leading energy expert, and father of a teenage daughter, he needed to speak out to separate science from fiction.
Despite decades of news media attention, many remain ignorant of basic facts. Carbon emissions peaked and have been declining in most developed nations for over a decade. Deaths from extreme weather, even in poor nations, declined 80 percent over the last four decades. And the risk of Earth warming to very high temperatures is increasingly unlikely thanks to slowing population growth and abundant natural gas.
Curiously, the people who are the most alarmist about the problems also tend to oppose the obvious solutions.
What’s really behind the rise of apocalyptic environmentalism? There are powerful financial interests. There are desires for status and power. But most of all, there is a desire among supposedly secular people for transcendence. This spiritual impulse can be natural and healthy. But in preaching fear without love, and guilt without redemption, the new religion is failing to satisfy our deepest psychological and existential needs.

Climate and Environmental Sanity
Easily one of the most important books I've listened to in the past three years. This is a well researched, well thought out response to the climate and ecological hysteria that dominates today's media and punditry. The answers to many of the world most challenging problems are staring us straight in the face, and Mr. Schellenberger delivers those answers with insight and efficiency. Anyone who considers themselves a moderate and reasonable should read this book. It is the most sensible pathway forward for anyone who cares about making our respective communities, countries and the world a better place.

Absolute Must Read
This book is the most honest and thorough examination of the modern environmental movement that I am aware of. Michael Schellenberger subjects all of the movement's talking points to the most penetrating and painstakingly researched analysis imaginable, exposing, one by one, the fallacious reasoning, the factual inaccuracies, the hypocrisy and outright lies that they are founded upon. But, as excellent as his analysis of the particulars of modern environmentalism is, where Schellenberger really shines is in his analysis of the philosophical underpinnings of the movement. From its roots in Malthusian philosophy, Schellenberger, rightly, identifies the religious nature of modern environmentalism, calling into open question its claim to be based in scientific analysis rather than faith or speculation.
If you want to know where the modern environmental movement came from, where it is, and where it wants to take us, Apocalypse Never is an absolute must read.

Progress is inevitable, let’s work on better ideas on how to get where we are headed regardless. Trying to stop it just creates more suffrage.

Love for nature and humans.
Michael Shellenberger’s deep love for the natural world and for humans shines through in his first book. It tells the story of how both technical innovations and politics have shaped the energy environment that we live in today. This is essential reading for anyone who is wondering what we should do about the impact of humans on the environment.
Perhaps Michael’s second book should explore what he omits here - the exciting possibilities offered by new technologies, now being developed, to make nuclear energy inherently safer, cleaner and (most importantly) cheaper.

Environmentalist with integrity!
Apocalypse Never:Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All makes dozens of valid points about the false information coming from environmental alarmists/extremists. They get almost nothing right.
Author Michael Shellenberger apologies for his past role in spreading the incorrect information. Simplistically his major points fall into two categories: 1. Environmental alarmism is not justified. It is both false and counter productive. It has a major negative impact on the mental health of children. 2. The best solution to reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide is nuclear energy. Nuclear is the ultimate green energy.
As a past alarmist the author's honesty is refreshing.
Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All is an important book that deserves lots of positive attention.

Science
Very informative and fact based. Climate change is real and we should plan and have good responses, but we can't even have those conversations because we are so ill informed by politicians and alarmists. This causes people to say science and scientists can't be trusted when really it's the reporting and people trying to use the science for other purposes that can't be trusted; and that's dangerous. I'm going to get a copy for each of my kids! Thank you for this book!

The best book on the topic
This book is stunning in its breadth and implications. In short the book's argument is that climate change is happening but it isn't the fiery apocalypse the news media has portrayed it as. That view is largely manufactured by politicians and media. In addition a lot of things that the developed world is doing to "help" are exacerbating the problem. He gives examples ranging from the destruction of habitat for wind farms and pasture raised cattle. To the net increase in carbon emissions from the shutdown of nuclear plants.
When reading this book you are left with the impression that you are hearing the "adult" in the room. For every point I agreed with there was one that challenged me. The thoughts and ideas are fully formed. There are no halfpinions in the book. There are real discussions about use of coal and wood in the developing world. Habitat vs climate, Vegetarianism, GMOs, Wind farming and everything else.
The best thing about Apocalypse Never is that it leaves you with hope for the future but also primes you for action. Just fantastic!

Pro Nuclear Environmentalism. Who da Thunk it?
This is the logical path between climate skeptics and the alarmists. Schellenberger points out that every country that cares about its environment is wealthy and prosperous. He also points out that it's not that poor countries don't care about their environment, quite the opposite. they just cannot afford to give it the attention that a wealthy country can.
The energy progression is, first you burn wood, then you burn coal, then you burn petroleum and natural gas, then you have nuclear power. This is the energy path to prosperity. prosperous countries take care of their environment. The best thing that we can do to help the world's climate is to help poor nations develop their economies.
This is one of the best books I have ever read on the subject.

Thoroughly Enlightening
A very thorough debunking of the climate catastrophe version of events we are told is happening everyday. The author approaches this as an environmentalist and climate scientist who believe climate change is real and largely worsened by humans and then proceeds to explain how and why the climate alarmists use fear mongering tactics by blatantly misrepresenting the data and conclusions in the major reports they love to cite so much.
The author then proceeds to tell us why not only is the scale of danger no where near what the alarmists would have us believe, but that most of not all of the adverse effects of climate change are avoidable with simply adaptations and using technology the alarmists hate, like nuclear energy, that is far greener than the technologies that are far inferior and less green, like solar and wind power. He explains why large efficiently run corporate farms are much greener than many small organic farms. There are countless times he effortlessly explains away the popular conceptions of climate science with simple facts and stats that very often come from the same studies and organizations themselves cite to purvey their agenda, while conveniently leaving out the information that would instantly debunk their argument.
Great book for climate skeptics to solidify your arguments against climate alarmists as well as a great book for climate alarmists to gain some perspective from the little heard side as well as a great book for everyone in between that just isn’t sure what is going on.
I cannot recommend this book strongly enough.

Read with an open mind and it will open your mind
Fascinating. Especially the part about young people with anxiety and fear for the future. This one’s dead on. So much fantastic information in this book.

Good but too one sided.
Shellenberger makes good points about organizations that are too alarmist and guilty of over exaggeration. The problem with this book is its passing acknowledgement of the great work environmental alarmists have done to save species and reduce green house gasses. He glosses over the environmental damage of excessive fertilizer use and believes all the world has to do is keep building and acquiring stuff to make life better. I wouldn't be surprised if he recieves funding from the Heritage Foundation and the U S. Chamber of Commerce. I stopped listening after 7 chapters because his presentation and subject put me to sleep.
