 Wow! Is It A Complete Fabrication? November 17, 2008
This book may be judging from the "quotes" the author uses to publicize it.
They are all easy to google, but start with this one. here is his version of David Bromwich:
"It's hard to see a global warming signal from the mainland of Antarctica right now."
Here's what Bromwich actually said:
"It's hard to see a global warming signal from the mainland of Antarctica right now," he said. "Part of the reason is that there is a lot of variability there. It's very hard in these polar latitudes to demonstrate a global warming signal. This is in marked contrast to the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula that is one of the most rapidly warming parts of the Earth."
Uh.....
Putting the sceintists aside, anyone who claims that human activity involving the release of carbon-based energy and CO2 has no role is claiming that there is a cause which has no effect.
You can argue "how much" within a pretty narrow range. But it is not possible to argue "no effect."
 Brilliant presentation of the debate over climate change October 31, 2008

Lawrence Solomon, the noted environmentalist, has written a most useful book on the debate over global warming. He shows that scientific opinions still differ across the whole field.
He cites Edward Wegman, former chairman of the Committee on Applied and Theoretical Statistics of the National Academy of Sciences, who demolished the famous `hockey stick' graph which supposedly proved that the 20th century was the hottest ever. His team of expert statisticians also disproved the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2001 report's assessments, "the assessments that the decade of the 1990s was the hottest decade in a millennium and that 1998 was the hottest year in a millennium cannot be supported."
Solomon criticises Dr Nicholas Stern, once the World Bank's chief economist, whose 2006 review has become the most influential global warming report, embraced by the Blair and Brown governments. Stern seemed to bring hard economic facts into the world of scientific forecasts and guesses.
Yet his review is now wholly discredited. Dr. Richard Tol, Professor at the Center for Integrated Study of the Human Dimensions of Global Change, at Carnegie Mellon University, calls it `preposterous'. Crucially, Stern estimated the cost of additional carbon emissions as $29 a ton, as against Tol's conclusion that the costs were `likely to be substantially smaller' than $14 a ton.
Tol said, "In sum, the Stern Review is very selective in the studies it quotes on the impacts of climate change. The selection bias is not random, but emphasises the most pessimistic studies ... Results are occasionally misinterpreted. The report claims that a cost-benefit analysis was done, but none was carried out. The Stern Review can therefore be dismissed as alarmist and incompetent."
Solomon also cites Roger Revelle, who led the President's Science Advisory Committee Panel on Environmental Pollution in 1965 which first identified CO2 from fossil fuels as a possible problem. Yet in 1992, he wrote, "Drastic, precipitous, and especially, unilateral steps to delay the putative greenhouse impacts can cost jobs and prosperity and increase the human costs of global poverty, without being effective. Stringent controls enacted now would be economically devastating, particularly for developing countries for whom reduced energy consumption would mean slower rates of economic growth without being able to delay greatly the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere."
Global-schmobal warming October 24, 2008
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
I really could have cared less about "Global Warming" until Al 'Creater of the Internet' Gore won a Nobel prize for passing on this messege. There is no doubt the climate changes as Gore points out. The cause however is not, has not, and will not be by man-kind. Even the "Great Myans" pointed out several thousands of years ago climate changes drastically due to a myriad of circumstances, most of which still have not been taken into consideration by this group at the UN.
Why is it that everything, absolutely everything, those clowns at the UN have to do with turns into an extreme fiasco? Mr. Solomon really drove that point home whether it was his intention or not. Nice job Lawrence, whatever you write next I am definately buying it.
Holocaust Revisionists and Global Warming Skeptics... October 14, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Holocaust Revisionists and Global Warming Skeptics...have a lot in common. They are a threat to the special interest groups. From reading this book you will learn that some global warming alarmists think you should go to jail if you don't follow the party line.
A very important book. Up there with Germar Rudolf's important work and book titled "The Lectures on the Holocaust" the book that caused the scientist Rudolf to be in jailed. Both books can be ordered from AMAZON.
 The Deniers October 9, 2008
Laurence Solomon tells the sober side of the story of the global warming challenge confronting humanity. Solomon has brought together ten "eminent" scientists who put the case for truthful debate on the issue, debunking statistics that have created much distorted information...BGP
