Trashing the Planet
The former governor of Washington exposes how little the public actually knows about the environment and argues that volcanoes actually do more damage to the atmosphere than all our industrial activities
I first came across this book in 1994 when I was a liberal leaning college student concerned with the environment. I am now a conservative college graduate concerned with the environment, and this book had much to do with my transformation. Dixy Lee Ray is a breath of fresh air speaking on a subject many of us are ill-informed on.
If you are concerned with the environment, you will find much in this book that interests you (as long as you can handle truth). Miss Ray debunks much of the dogma the enviro-nazis shove down the publics throat. She takes on the issues of global warming, ozone depletion, nuclear medicine, acid rain and others. Using scientific methods (something the leftist leaning environmental zealots ignore because they fear the outcome of true scientific discovery) she intelligently and unemotionally uses the statistics and predictions of the environmental movement's leaders against them to show how out of touch with reality and normal society they are.
In the final chapter, Ray presents a sound and logical formula for having both a clean environment and a technologically advanced society. This book should be read by all high school seniors so they can understand the truth about the environment rather than the dogma they are spoon feed in public schools and the liberal media.
