The Deniers - the book - Global Warming Debunked
The Deniers - the book
Based on his successful series in the National Post, Lawrence Solomon has now published a new book named The Deniers. It’s available from Amazon.com.
Is The “Scientific Consensus” on Global Warming a Myth? Yes, says internationally renowned environmentalist author Lawrence Solomon who highlights the brave scientists–all leaders in their fields– who dispute the conventional wisdom of climate change alarmists (despite the threat to their careers)
Al Gore and his media allies claim the only scientists who dispute the alarmist view on global warming are corrupt crackpots and “deniers”, comparable to neo-Nazis who deny the Holocaust.
Solomon calmly and methodically debunks Gore’s outrageous charges, showing in on ‘headline’ case after another that the scientists who dispute Gore’s doomsday scenarios have far more credibility than those who support Gore’s theories. These men who expose Gore’s claims as absurd hold top positions at the most prestigious scientific institutes in the world. Their work is cited and acclaimed throughout the scientific community. No wonder Gore and his allies want to pretend they don’t exist.
It amazes me that Gore gets as much credit as he does. “An Inconvenient Truth” does not have a single reference to a scientific source as far as I can tell. It doesn’t even have a table of contents or an index!!!
Unlike Gore’s book, the following list of criticisms does provide references to peer reviewed journal articles, with links, in case the reader wants to acquire the originals
1. Gores errors on Kilimanjaro
2. Gore’s important omission of fact concerning the relationship between CO2 and temperature in the ice cores.
3. Evidence that Gore’s claimed link between global warming and recent hurricane intensity or frequency is wildly off the mark.
4. Gore’s claim that drought in Africa is caused by global warming is unsupportable.
5. His alarmist fear that polar bears are about to meet their demise needs some scrutiny.
