Published by the Institute of Economic Affairs, this volume collects around thirty of Ridley's 'Down to Earth' columns from The Sunday Telegraph. In them he challenges what he regards as the inaccurate and alarmist claims of mainstream environmentalism, applying skepticism to popular environmental scares.
