Sees a battle between the pessimists who speak of gloom and doom crises and optimists who argue that things are not only not quite that bad, but can be mitigated by technological improvements. The author is in the optimist camp and feels that the pessimists have damaged the environmental movement by portraying everything as a crisis. This book pairs well with with Paul Sabin's The Bet.

"Few issues today excite more passion or alarm than the specter of climate change. In A Climate of Crisis, historian Patrick Allitt shows that our present climate of crisis is far from exceptional. Indeed, the environmental debates of the last half century are defined by exaggeration and fearmongering from all sides, often at the expense of the facts."-- From dust jacket flap.
