    I won't waste my time reading this book, as the one-sided and unsubstantiated claims of environmental problems is so unprofessional, it makes me doubt the validity of the rest of the book. I hope this was written before the man-made global warming conspiracy was shown to suffer from some serious conflict of interests and a lack of (real) evidence. Unfortunately, this book does little to forward the cause of economically viable sustainability.
