Welcome to IOU Digital Library

This book critically examines how scientific research and environmental policy intersect — arguing that the rise of “virtual environmental science” (models, simulations, and advisory science divorced from empirical grounding) can lead to misguided policies and institutional corruption. Aynsley Kellow analyzes the implications for environmental decision-making, the precautionary principle, and the relationship between science and government, urging a return to more transparent, evidence-based environmental governance.
