Product Description
The Competitive Enterprise Institute is proud to announce a provocative new book on environmental policy, Blue Planet in Green Shackles by Václav Klaus, President of the Czech Republic. President Klaus makes the case that policies being proposed to address global warming are not justified by current science and are, in fact, a dangerous threat to freedom and prosperity around the world. ---
Klaus argues that the environmental movement has transformed itself into an ideology that seeks to restrict human activities at any cost, while pursuing an impossible utopian dream of a perfectly "natural" world. The supposed threat of human civilization against a fragile Earth has become an article of faith, especially in the realm of global warming activism. ---
"The largest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy, and prosperity at the end of the 20th and at the beginning of the 21st century is no longer socialism," writes Klaus. "It is, instead, the ambitious, arrogant, unscrupulous ideology of environmentalism." ---
The publication of Blue Planet in Green Shackles - What is Endangered: Climate or Freedom? continues the Competitive Enterprise Institute's history of fighting alarmist climate policies. CEI has long argued that whatever challenges future climate changes might bring, the worst possible response is to restrict human freedom and slow economic growth and innovation. ---
"Today, the global warming debate raging in both the United States and Europe has become extremely contentious. On both sides of the Atlantic, the debate has metastasized into cultural warfare against economic liberty," writes CEI President Fred L. Smith, Jr. in the book's foreword. "For that reason, pro-freedom voices are needed to reframe the debate to show how a free people can better address the challenges facing Western civilization. To that end, we are proud to publish Blue Planet in Green Shackles." |

Impeccable Logic and Compelling Insights from Pres. Klaus 
A thought-provoking, reasoned approach to the hysteria that is the global warming movement. Pres. Klaus approaches the questions about and proposed solutions to global warming with sound economic principles and common sense rather than intellectually vacuous rhetoric and fear mongering that has become en vogue. A must-read for those looking for some clear-headed perspectives on climate change.

Truth about Global Warming 
Wish these were more redialy available. There was only one book in all web searches available. This book exposes the myths of global warming and exposes the true agenda that is being accomplished by misleading the public.
Thanks,

A true economists view of global warming
I have found this book most enlightening due to its economic persuasions against global warming.
It is compatible with several other books such as, "Unstoppable Global Warming" by Fred Singer (climatologist), "Climate Confusion" by Roy Spencer (NASA climatologist), "The Deniers" by Lawrance Soloman (environmentalist), and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming" by Christopher Horner (expert on GW legislation).
These authors and many other prominent climatologists have denounced global warming as comparable to a scam.
Vaclav Klaus puts all of these perspectives to use in a formidable denunciation of global warming.

Libertarian look at warming alarmism
The President of the Czech Republic has survived "Central Planning" with all its' pitfalls giving him a unique perspective to the "solutions" being promulgated by Gore, Hansen, Stern and the IPCC.
Excellent dissection of warming alarmist dogma with a definite Libertarian slant. The chapter on Cost-Benefit analysis of the Precautionary Principle alone is worth the cost of the book.

Just Read It
Whatever your opinion is on the subject, I recommend this book for a dose of sanity. There are a few difficult spots in the book for non-economists, and Mr Klaus does overgeneralize a bit using the word "environmemtalists", but his points are sound and backed up with scientific references and hard economic and climatological science. Just read it. Please.
