What if the consensus is merely a habit of lazy thinking

I am looking forward to reading 25 Myths That Are Destroying the Environment by Daniel B. Botkin, an ecologist scientist and critic of lazy thinking in the science of ecology.  His 25 myths are:

Myth 1 We Are the Only Species That Has Ever Had Global Effects on the Environment

Myth 2 Life Is Fragile, Requires Specific Conditions, and Can’t Adjust Easily to Change

Myth 3 Extinction Is Unnatural and Bad, but Easy to Accomplish

Myth 4 The Balance of Nature Exists and Dominates All Life and All Environments

Myth 5 The Balance of Nature Is the Best and Only Condition for All Life

Myth 6 Beauty in Nature Only Happens in Areas Completely Undisturbed by Us

Myth 7 An Ecosystem Is Any Kind of Group, and a Biological Ecosystem Is a Fixed Group of Species

Myth 8 People Are Outside of Nature

Myth 9 The Only Reason to Conserve Nature: Every Species Has a Moral Right to Exist

Myth 10 People Have Changed the Environment Only Since the Industrial/Scientific Age

Myth 22 Forests Are an Important Place for Long-Term Carbon Storage
