Product Description

A scientist debunks the hysteria and distortions created by the environmental movement and emphasizes America’s need for social improvement.

Author R. G. Williscroft, who served for 23 years with the U.S. Navy and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, firmly establishes that the sky is not falling--the global greenhouse is not out of control, the ozone layer is still there, and the Cold War is over. This fascinating and accessible book reviews the scientific evidence of environmental concerns such as global warming, the dangers of nuclear power, and shortage of water. The author argues that most of these concerns are misplaced and emphasizes instead the real crisis in education, the intrusion of big government, and the decline of morality.

Review
"...a much-needed antidote to the prevailing plague of desperate (and often groundless) pessimism." -- --Michael Medved, Nationally Syndicated Radio Host

Do yourself a very big favor and read it. -- -Alan Caruba, www.bookviews.com.

From the Publisher
"What if I told you there was a book that even a person with no scientific knowledge could read and understand that would dispel all your fears about "global warming", nuclear energy, "ozone holes", and much of what the daily media tells you poses a terrible threat to the Earth and you? What if I told you the book was written by a retired submarine officer with a B.S. in oceanography and meteorology from the University of Washington and a M.S. and Ph.D. in engineering from California Coast University? What if I told you that, after reading 'The Chicken Little Agenda'...you would be the best informed, smartest person in the room when some idiot began to tell everyone that the Earth was doomed, there’s no way to provide electricity without producing greenhouse gases, blah, blah, blah! This is hands-down the best book I have read in a very long time when it comes to explaining and debunking the kind of nonsense in Al Gore’s new film or the cover stories of Time and other so-called news magazines. Do yourself a very big favor and read it.

Hot button topics
Robert Williscroft has masterfully debunked what masquerades as science in a range of hot button topics from the environment and energy to education and government. He's made his arguments accessible to the ordinary person supplying him with intellectual ammunition to confront the "experts."

INFORMATION IS POWER!
FINALLY! A book about higher matters that I can understand!

The daily news is full of unpleasant problems regarding our world, whether it be the ozone hole, global warming, terrorists, illegal immigrants, the Bird Flu, fuel dependency, food toxicity, antibiotic resistant bacteria - well you understand what I am trying to say. Fear at every door!

This book presents another possibility. It gives the reader the knowledge to decide what the real fears are so that we can create a real plan that most of us can understand for each individual's good, and not be wagged around by those who have gotten caught up in a trendy hysteria, political gain, or fifteen minutes of fame.

We have been dealing with many of the current issues since the l980s, and we still are. What we have been doing hasn't worked...SO...dosn't it make sense to explore another path. Information is power, and The Chicken Little Agenda gives the reader the power of knowledge. It is easy to understand, written with easily accessible concepts. It is definitely not over you head!
