Synopsis

The tide is turning against environmentalism as the political right, industry and governments fight back.
Green Backlash is a controversial expose of the anti-environmental movement. Tracing the rise of the backlash from the Wise Use movement in the USA, the author reveals its rapid spread worldwide: the anti-roads movement in the UK, forestry debates in Canada and Australia, marine resource issues in Europe, South-East Asia, and controversies such as the Brent Spar.
The backlash is set to get worse as the resource wars intensify. This book offers a greater understanding of the challenges and threats facing global environmentalism, concluding that the environmental movement now has a chance to re-evaluate and change for the better to beat the backlash - a chance that must not be missed.

Media Reviews
Overall, Green Backlash is a highly readable, disturbing account of the growing anti-environmental (ist) movement. The book reveals the harsher realities of environmental life at the tail end of the 20th century.
- CNS, March, 1997
... it is well-written, draws upon varied facets of the world environmental opposition, and provides a wake-up-call for those who are not well aware of global environmental affairs.
- Environmental History
... [the] environmental agenda is clear throughout.
- Skeptic
... disturbing ... In Green Backlash--which I heartily recommend to anyone concerned about the environment--Rowell concludes that the environmental movement must start to put forward positive solutions, not just call attention to problems.
