World History and Cultural Events Book Group

All are welcome to join this monthly discussion of books on current and historical world events and international culture.  This month’s book is: Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All by Michael Shellenberger who has been fighting for a greener planet for decades. He helped save the world’s last unprotected redwoods. He co-created the predecessor to today’s Green New Deal. And he led a successful effort by climate scientists and activists to keep nuclear plants operating, preventing a spike of emissions.  But in 2019, as some claimed “billions of people are going to die,” contributing to rising anxiety, including among adolescents, Shellenberger decided that, as a lifelong environmental activist, leading energy expert, and father of a teenage daughter, he needed to speak out to separate science from fiction.
