Big Brother Has Turned Green The environmental movement has cultivated a warm and fuzzy public image, but behind the smiley-face rhetoric of "sustainability" and "conservation" lies a dark agenda. The Greens aim to regulate your behavior, downsize your lifestyle, and invade the most intimate aspects of your personal life. In this stunning exposé, Steve Milloy unveils the authoritarian impulse underlying the Green crusade. Whether they're demanding that you turn down your thermostat, stop driving your car, or engage in some other senseless act of self-denial, the Greens are envisioning a grim future for you marked by endless privation. Steamrolling nearly all opposition with its apocalyptic predictions of environmental doom, the Green movement has gained influence throughout American society--from schools and local planning boards to the biggest corporations in the country. And their plans are much more ambitious than you think, says Milloy. What the Greens really seek, with increasing success, is to dictate the very parameters of your daily life--where you can live, what transportation you can use, what you can eat, and even how many children you can have. Citing the tactics and goals of Green groups as explained by their own activists and leaders, Green Hell demonstrates: * How Green pressure campaigns threaten the safety of your home and your car, and public health overall * Why the election of President Obama portends a giant leap forward for coercive Green policies * Why Greens obstruct the use of all forms of energy--even the renewable sources they tout to the public * How wealthy Green elites stand to profit fabulously from the restrictions and regulations they seek to impose on the rest of us * How Green pressure campaigns are hamstringing the military and endangering our national security * Why big business is not only knuckling under to the Greens, but is aggressively promoting the green agenda to the detriment of its own stockholders * What you can do to help stop the great Green machine A one-of-a-kind, comprehensive takedown of the entire environmental movement, Green Hell will open your eyes to a looming threat to our economy, our civil liberties, and the entire American way of life.… (altro)

Milloy makes a compelling case that prosperity and individual autonomy are the chief targets of the environmental movement. He uses a blizzard of eye-popping facts, statistics, anecdotes, and even healthy doses of original reporting to demolish a number of environmental claims. Perhaps Milloy is most effective when he repeatedly shows how environmental organizations possess a total lack of self-awareness about how many of their stated goals are directly at odds with their other stated goals.

Milloy has written an engaging book. Critics might knock it for being more rhetorical than scholarly at times, but it’s well-substantiated and amusingly argued. That the book is written for general audiences is ultimately a strength.

I suspect I’m not the only reader to open Milloy’s book and find myself slipping down a rabbit hole to discover a vision of green hell that is frightfully plausible.
