Environmental insiders Shellenberger and Nordhaus triggered a firestorm of controversy with their self-published essay, “The Death of Environmentalism.” In it they pointed out that global warming is far more complex than past pollution problems and that American values have changed dramatically since the movement's greatest victories in the 1960s, but environmentalists keep fighting the same battles without realizing that the batttlefield has changed. Connecting the failures of environmentalism with the failures of the entire left-leaning political agenda, the authors point the way toward an aspirational politics that will resonate with modern American values and be capable of tackling our most pressing challenges.
In this eagerly awaited follow-up to the original essay, the authors deepen their argument to give us an expansive and eloquent manifesto for political change.
Reviews
New York Times...
“‘The Death of Environmentalism’…has provoked a civil war among tree-huggers for its assertion that ‘modern environmentalism, with all of its unexamined assumptions, outdated concepts, and exhausted strategies, must die so that something new can live.’ Sad to say, the authors are right."
