DESCRIPTION:
Christopher Booker interweaves the science of global warming with that of its growing political consequences, showing how just when the politicians are threatening to change our Western way of life beyond recognition, the scientific evidence behind the global warming theory is being challenged like never before. It shows how the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is run by a small group of 'global warming' zealots, who have repeatedly rigged evidence to support their theory. This original book considers one of the most extraordinary scientific and political stories of our time: how in the 1980s a handful of scientists came to believe that mankind faced catastrophe from runaway global warming, and how today this has persuaded politicians to land us with what promises to be the biggest bill in history. But the politicians, pushed by the media, have so fallen for its propaganda that, short of dramatic change, our Western world now faces an unprecedented disaster.. The book exposes the myth that the global warming theory is supported by a 'consensus of the world's top
Usefully presents evidence that undermines extreme Green claims William Podmore This is a very thought'provoking book, though some may find it just provoking. It presents evidence that undermines the claims of the most extreme Green zealots.Yet the book has its flaws too. It has a key misprint: a 7.7 degrees C temperature drop, for 0.7 degrees C. Don't publishers employ proof-readers any more? Carelessly, Booker writes that 1934 was the world's warmest year, when the research he cites clearly referred to the USA's warmest year.The recent w. Denialist views on climate change David Lindsay I recently started to follow the climate change debate and found this book helpful because it summarizes the denialist case. Booker is a long time contributor to Private Eye, a British satirical magazine. He is best known as a journalist for The Sunday Telegraph newspaper in London. The book is well written and easy to read.The scientific consensus, as summarized by the work of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), is that human activity is. The Real Global Warming Disater I have read dozens of books about the global warming, from both camps, and found this one the most informative and well documented. It is difficult to understand and believe Barak Obama and Gordon Brown, Angela Merkel and other heads of States are still believing Al Gore and the other few catastrophic OVERT LIES produced by the IPCC bureaucrats, and not the true CLIMATE SCIENTIST like Professor Richard Lindzen. As he put it, they are threatening the whole human
. Much of the book will be familiar to readers of climate-change-hoax literature: climate change research relies on flawed computer models; the hockey stick graph of temperature rise, made famous by Al Gore, is based on inaccuracies; the costs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will be huge, the political difficulties of realizing them untenable, and the results inadequate.

From Publishers Weekly Booker, a weekly columnist for the Sunday Telegraph, expands on a global warming chapter from his previous book, Scared to Death, co-written with Richard North, to argue that the earth is not warming. Booker's stated purpose is to put all the complex arguments on both sides of the debate into chronological context, but his treatment is anything but balanced, and his credibility may be
