Apocalypse Never summarizes the best-available science and debunks the myths repeated by scientists, journalists, and activists.
Some of those activists, scientists, and journalists have now responded to Apocalypse Never to defend those myths, including that humans are causing a sixth mass extinction and that climate change is making natural disasters worse.
Anyone who hopes to seriously evaluate Apocalypse Never for its scientific accuracy must read Apocalypse Never, including its over 1,100 endnotes, which comprise 100 pages of the 400 page book.
No book about the environment in recent memory has been praised by a wider and more prestigious group of scientists than Apocalypse Never. It cannot be dismissed. And yet that is what many of the critics of Apocalypse Never appear to want potential readers to do.
But in their haste to misrepresent the contents of Apocalypse Never, and make personal attacks, critics reveal that they fear people will read the book and discover the truth for themselves. I hope curious people do.
