DESCRIPTION:

In October, 2004 Michael Shellenberger and Ted Nordhaus released their controversial essay ?The Death of Environmentalism: Global warming politics in the post-environmental world.? Shellenberger and Nordhaus argue that the environmental movement is collapsing under its own weight. According to them ?modern environmentalism is no longer capable of dealing with the world's most serious ecological crisis.? This ongoing controversy has caused a lot of resentment and mudslinging to come out within the environmental movement over where the movement needs to go in the future.
Is Environmentalism Really Dead? is a panel discussion featuring prominent environmental activist discussing ?The Death of Environmentalism?
