Hot Talk, Cold Science (Global Warming`s Unfinished Debate) de S. Fred Singer
by Institut économique Molinari (published 2004)

Hot Talk, Cold Science remet en question l`existence même du réchauffement climatique. Son auteur, Fred Singer, affirme que si le réchauffement climatique existait avec certitude, rien ne permettrait d`établir qu`il serait essentiellement causé par les activités humaines, notamment par les émissions de gaz carbonique ou d`autres gaz à effet de serre.

"Natural Resources and the Environment", chapitre 3 de Capitalism de George Reisman
by Institut économique Molinari (published 2004)

Le chapitre 3 de Capitalism qui traite des problèmes d`environnement et de limitation des ressources naturelles (mais aussi de l`idéologie et de la philosophie écologistes), montre que le fondement d`une économie de l`environnement doit être l`intelligence humaine et non pas une quantité finie de ressources naturelles données.

Si les grands média, malgré quelques exceptions, font souvent croire que les solutions proposées pour combattre le phénomène du réchauffement de l`atmosphère, considéré a priori comme problématique, sont connues et irréfutables, plusieurs ouvrages comparables à Adapt or Die montrent désormais qu`un débat sérieux et surtout loyal doit avoir lieu.

Autonomy, Loyalty and Trust in the World of Machines
by Eudoxa (published 2004)

We are surrounded by machines that are increasingly autonomous, although the autonomy we have managed to create is far from robust or comprehensive. Simple devices such as automatic doors might be broken. In other instances the automation will behave wrong, because it does not interpret the input correctly. Or the automation will behave according to specification, but the interaction between the machine and the human will produce unexpected behavior. Who is to blame when autonomous technology fails?

La Peste verte de Gérard Bramoullé
by Institut économique Molinari (published 2004)

Comme son titre l`indique, ce petit livre vivifiant s`installe résolument sur le terrain de la polémique. Bien que Gérard Bramoullé, économiste de son état, soumette ses travaux académiques à une rigueur épistémologique, conceptuelle et logique indéniable, il a choisi, à travers les pages de La Peste verte, de pousser un véritable « coup de gueule » contre les positions de l`écologie politique.

Enviro-Capitalists de Terry L. Anderson et Donald R. Leal
by Institut économique Molinari (published 2004)

Bien qu`il soit impossible de définir les caractéristiques d`un entrepreneur, on peut cependant noter qu`ils ont tous en commun une vision, une idée et qu`ils mettent en oeuvre les moyens nécessaires à sa réalisation. Il en est de même pour les enviro-capitalistes auxquels cet ouvrage se consacre.

Let`s Stand Up and Shout!
by Eudoxa (published 2004)

The study looks at four major cultural trends in the discourse that still exerts a strong influence on bioethics.

The first trend is the romantic worldview.

The second trend is that the emotional connection between "dangerous foods" supersedes the lack of a causal connection.

The third trend is the resistance against "playing God" or "manipulation of the proper order of nature".

The fourth trend is the "clash of cultures” between the scientific community and the public.
