Green Gone Wild: Elevating Nature Above Human Rights

By M. David Stirling

Green Gone Wild takes an in depth look at government confiscatory regulation of private property in the name of protecting so-called endangered plant and wildlife species that trample on Fifth Amendment guarantees. This book shines a spotlight on the extreme green movement that has cost many Americans their lives, jobs, and homes while saving only a handful of species.

The Consequences of Philosophy Over Factuality

This book could easily have been named "Endangered Species Act, How We Lost Our Minds". Although much of this information is available elsewhere, this book puts it together and in a fashion that you can't help but be outraged at the corruption ESA has promoted. All the bad actors are outlined here, from when ESA first was formulated, to how it got completely out of control as a result the Supreme Court case of TVA vs Hill. See the real science versus the myths we have been led to believe.

It's Government Gone Wacko!

When I wasn't reading this book I was talking about it! I have so many people to pass this book on to that I will need to order more copies. What I found sobering and terrifying is the reach the extreme environmentalists have in the name of species preservation and their motives behind it all. The Endangered Species Act of 1973 was like a snowball rolling downhill. At first it was small and no one really paid much attention, but as it moved along it gained a momentum and a proportion that has left everyone in its path ill equipped to stop it. What's more, the banning of DDT left millions to die of malaria when the science proved DDT was safe for humans. Watch out! They are going after Bisphenol A next. Before you jump on that bandwagon, you better read this book. I am admittedly a non-fiction junkie and always looking for a good topic. I picked up this book because I realized I am basically uninformed on this subject, and with the eco-terrorism that has hit the news lately and the momentum global warming has been gaining; I decided an environmental education would be a good choice while I had some time over the summer. There were some parts of this book that had me seeing red. Actually, if you are a fiction fan, it has all the best elements of a good novel. Lies, deceit, corruption and tragedy. In fact, the author had me reading anxiously to get to the last chapter so I could find out what could be done to fix the "broken ESA". He also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to the details. He covers all points with enough information that you won't feel like anything has been left out. Each chapter concludes with his cited sources in case you want to read further or do your own research. This book has changed how I view everything.

GREAT STUFF. It made me angry..........

I thought I was the only one. When I finished Green Gone Wild I was angry. I loaned it to a partner Same result. I was not expecting what I was reading. Well thought and well documented. Great Stuff!!

Must read......

This should be a "must read" for all who claim to want to save the environment. The human cost of some of our well intentioned national policies, like the Endangered Species Act, are well documented, and at the very least should be read and absorbed by everyone engaged in public policy.

Outstanding Material

Outstanding evidence that exposes the environmental movement for what it is : a vessel to create a world tax and a more centralized authority with fewer human freedoms and more power than ever vested in goverment, all cloaked in grabbing people's hearts about saving the earth. This book exposes the truth and is a must read to counterbalance the propaganda the big media bombards us with daily. I heard the author interviewed by Jason Lewis (KTLK-FM 100.3 Mpls MN). Five Stars for the author !!
