   Having McKibben as “environmental scholar” is one of the greatest indictments of the whole “green” movement…

     Yes, “environmental scholar” caught my eye as well. Wow. McKibben’s book is more sci-fi entertainment ecodisaster-porn than anything remotely scholarly.

     I recall reading a review of Eaarth in Scientific American (it must have been something like my last issue as I had finally canceled my subscription after their failure to accurately cover Climategate) and it was less a book review/interview than a wholesale endorsement of his fantasies.

     I remember being appalled; I threw the magazine in the garbage can.

   This is what happens to you mind when you read too many comic books, watch too many grade B disaster movies and smoke too much dope.
