Mr. Zubrin’s latest book, Merchants of Despair: Radical Environmentalists, Criminal Pseudo-Scientists and the Fatal Cult of Antihumanism; is the newest addition to the New Atlantis Books series.
Merchants of Despair traces the pedigree of the ideology that human beings are a cancer upon the Earth — a species whose aspirations and appetites are endangering the natural order — and exposes its deadly consequences in startling and horrifying detail.
It exposes the worst crimes perpetrated by this antihumanist movement, including eugenics campaigns in the United States and genocidal anti-development and population-control programs around the world. And it provides scientific refutations to antihumanism’s major pseudo-scientific claims, including its modern tirades against nuclear power, pesticides, population growth, biotech foods, resource depletion, industrial development, and, most recently, fear-mongering about global warming. The book’s official homepage is: www.MerchantsOfDespair.com.

One can argue about solutions but one cannot argue about the facts: Anthropogenic Global Climate Change is real, caused by human activity, and getting worse. If you want to argue about these facts, you are free to do so. Just remember, when you do you are arguing against 99% of the Climate Scientists in the world, along with the US military beginning under the Bush administration, and many forward-looking multinational corporations including a major oil company.
Ken, I’m not going to argue one way or the other on climate change. I’m not a scientist. I don’t think socialism is the answer even if climate change is a problem.
I will tell you that the 97% of scientists justification is a canard.
