Abstract

Nobody argues about the importance of managing the environment. Environmentalism as a movement, as well as a public policy, will survive any attack. Ecology as a science, however, has reached an academic status where a little criticism cannot hurt. Therefore, the author feels free to scalpel with sarcasm some of the most questionable aspects of the environmentalist movement.
