Green Backlash Summary

Green Backlash: Global Subversion of the Environment Movement by Andrew Rowell

The tide is turning against environmentalism as the political right, industry and governments fight back.
Green Backlash is a controversial expose of the anti-environmental movement. Tracing the rise of the backlash from the Wise Use movement in the USA, the author reveals its rapid spread worldwide: the anti-roads movement in the UK, forestry debates in Canada and Australia, marine resource issues in Europe, South-East Asia, and controversies such as the Brent Spar.
The backlash is set to get worse as the resource wars intensify. This book offers a greater understanding of the challenges and threats facing global environmentalism, concluding that the environmental movement now has a chance to re-evaluate and change for the better to beat the backlash - a chance that must not be missed.

Green Backlash Reviews

..."it is well-written, draws upon varied facets of the world environmental opposition, and provides a "wake-up-call" for those who are not well aware of global environmental affairs."
-"Environmental History
..." [the] environmental agenda is clear throughout."
-"Skeptic
..." disturbing ... In "Green Backlash--which I heartily recommend to anyone concerned about the environment--Rowell concludes that the environmental movement must start to put forward positive solutions, not just call attention to problems."
-Alain Dessaint, "Healthy and Natural Journal
