A quick tip: for the latest from Michael Shellenberger and Ted Nordhaus--authors of the infamous The Death of Environmentalism --check out their "Death Warmed Over" article in The American Prospect On-line . They develop their thesis further and don't seem to be repentant one iota for pissing off the environmental elite. There is something dangerous to writing poetically in essays about world problems, but there's nothing wrong with a bit of creative insight...

For a good blast of thoughtful (and in your face) history on how the U.S. has stumbled around in the Middle East, check out the current edition of www.getunderground.com and read The House of Cards , by Dan Benbow. Near the bottom of the features section GU is still running Part II of my long essay, The Green Emperor Gets Naked . Part III will be out in early November and will deal pointedly with government's role in the environmental community--particularly with respect to Global Warming (believe it or not, there are some good things happening out there as well as the many dumb things you read about and hear in the mainstream press...it is not time yet to give up the ship).

Without doubt, the best compendium of thoughtful criticism and analysis on environmentalism, global warming, the death of environmentalism, etc. may be found at the Moving Ideas.org "The Environment: Death & Rebirth" site. Specifically, this site provides links to articles from the October issue of The American Prospec t. Prepared in collaboration with the Nathan Cummings Foundation and the Wallace Global Fund, what is wonderful about this page is that not only are there links to American Prospect articles, but there are pointers to original source documentation and resource references that may be accessed online as well. For anyone interested in filling their head with intelligent thought on the subject of whether there will be a happy world by the year 2100, this is the place to start. Highly, highly recommended!
