Everyday, various opinions are expressed in the media regarding doubts over the Kyoto agreement and the international community's ethical responsibility to the future of the environment. In his controversial new book, The Skeptical Environmentalist: Measuring the Real State of the World, Bjørn Lomborg, offers a fresh perspective to the debate and challenges the view that we are destroying our planet irrevocably by exploding the widely propagated myth tat the state of the environment continues to spiral downwards beyond our control.

Lomborg investigates a variety of issues, including:

Global Climate Change - Are we dealing with the problem in the right way?

Resources - Are we living on borrowed time?

Genetically Modified Foods - Disaster or blessing?

Waste - Are we running out of space?

Forests - Are we losing them?
