Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom

The book did not disappoint. Great antidote to mass media fuelled hysteria.
I might not agree with his stance on GMO or biomass burning, nevertheless he has some good points there.
This book shows how important it is not to blindly believe the experts. There is a limit to how specialised you can get, before you literally become a tool, a hammer looking for a nail.

Like Upton Sinclair said: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”

The fact is the only reason I am writing this and you are reading it is because we are consuming huge amount of energy, more than Sun can provide at the moment.

Everyone wants to live in harmony with nature until they have a nasty fracture, then suddenly civilisation with ambulances, trained specialists, disposable clean plastics, 24/7/365 on hospitals with MRIs and all other infrastructure doesn't look so bad.

We can't live without nature and we can't live without technology. We need to find a path to a future where 10 billion people (Hans Rosling explained it beautifully) can live sustainably, enjoy nature and marvels of civilisation.

This book is a step forward on this path.
