Black & White: Politically Incorrect Essays on Politics, Culture, Science, Religion, Energy, and Environment

In this collection of incisive essays, geologist and historian David Deming demonstrates why he is often controversial and always politically incorrect. According to Deming, the world is not running out of oil and the age of fossil fuels has just begun. Deming explains why he denies global warming, why science is never settled, and why we should be worried about the next Ice Age. He explains why Malthus was wrong, documents the environmental movement's preoccupation with hysterical fear-mongering, exposes light-bulb lunacy, and debunks the myth of the noble savage. Deming's topics range from academic freedom, to comparisons of religions, diets, and theories of evolution. You may not agree with Deming, but his perspicacious observations always make fascinating reading.
