Description

From the book cover: Most politicians, bureaucrats, environmentalists, and members of the media believe as a proven fact that industrial activity - especially the emission of carbon dioxide - is affecting climate by causing an increase in average global temperatures. They also believe that something must be done immediately to address what is touted as our biggest global environmental threat. But, the scientific evidence is mixed and scientists continue to debate both the existence and the extent of human-induced global warming ... The doomsayers' version of climate change is being put forward as representing a "scientific consensus" while the views of scientists with valid criticisms of the global warming apocalypse are ignored. "Global Warming: The Science and the Politics" attempts to redress this imbalance by focusing attention on the fundamental scientific questions.
