A scientist debunks the hysteria and distortions created by the environmental movement and emphasizes America's need for social improvement. Author R. G. Williscroft, who served for 23 years with the U.S. Navy and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, firmly establishes that the sky is not falling-the global greenhouse is not out of control, the ozone layer is still there, and the Cold War is over. This fascinating and accessible book reviews the scientific evidence of environmental concerns such as global warming, the dangers of nuclear power, and shortage of water. The author argues that most of these concerns are misplaced and emphasizes instead the real crisis in education, the intrusion of big government, and the decline of morality.
