Product Description
A passionate book for anyone concerned about the paralyzing effects of political correctness on society and the associated environmental scares we have accepted as real for 30 years. Contrasting the exaggerations and glib explanations of politicians, advocacy groups and bureaucracies, a clear and revolutionary account is provided for the actual science behind five major environmental dramas, culminating in a relentlessly objective analysis of the real causes of the present global warming. Based on the latest scientific findings, this peer reviewed work contains densely packed eye-opening information never before published in a format accessible to the non-scientist. A must read for anyone interested in how transfer of wealth from an unwitting public is justified by averting non-existent threats and how greed rather than pure idealism is at work in environmental politics.

Long on assertion, short on substantiating proof

I'm not one of the idiotic anti-American leftists several reviewers throw into this discussion (relevance??). I've read most of the lay literature on both sides trying to figure out what is going on. This book provides very little to aid in my efforts. If you read it carefully, the author cherry picks and spins just enough to create what appears to be solid arguments but doesn't have the courage to attach references or sources. Or perhaps he was wise to in that this thesis would not survive a cursory glance at the science. I was particularly offended by his patent distortion of or lack of knowledge of asbestos and its consequences.

The global warming hysteria

Still another nail in the coffin of anthropogenic global warming. It is really scary how eager the public is to be misled. DDT, Acid rain or global warming all show the politicians, the media and sadly the scientists jumping on the bandwagon to convince the public of a lie.
Published in 2004 it doesn't contain the newest theories in climatology but is a great and chilling read, primarily for its take on earlier environmental scares.

Keep this authors name for future Prosecution

Hacks like the author are making large bucks trying to discredit global warming. What they do not get is that this will kill 100s of millions of people and dislocate at least a billion. I believe that in the future, when I am probably dead, there will be a payback. These people and/or their children will be hunted down and face severe punishment. What should the punishment be for propaganda for world destroyers and cannibals of their own species? What did Hitler's propaganda minister get for supporting the death of just 20 million in death camps? The future will be hell and so will the criminal justice system. Why should the guys who perpetuated this mess be allowed to fly off in their Lear jets to the remaining livable parts of the planet and live like kings while billions suffer? Why should their offspring be allowed to prosper? This is much more severe than the media manipulation that the tobacco industry conducted. That only killed a couple of million people in the later parts of their lives. Keep notes of who was involved in this environmental disaster in the making and save it for their trials.
Every one of over 900 "peer reviewed" scientific studies that came out last year concluded that humans are affecting the climate via carbon dioxide. The term "peer reviewed" means that other experts in the field have reviewed these studies and concur that the analysis was done correctly. Any paid guy with writing skills can pump out unsubstantiated propaganda books like these. The "unbiased" guy that wrote this book supported by the impartial oil industry tries to discredit thousands of the worlds leading scientists. Hey there are hundreds of billions of potential oil and coal profits to be made why let a thing like the worlds environment get in the way. They have managed to postpone environmental efforts for over 20 years why not keep it up. We will pass the tipping point and then they can say I told you there was nothing we could do about Global Warming.
Watch the movie "An Inconvenient Truth". Read a few scientifically reputable journals not this trash.

faulty fact finding

I am sure the author's views on global warming are influenced
by the fact he is an advisor to Exxon/Mobil. Also, his statement that white asbestos is safe is false. The fact
that white asbestos can cause disability and death has been
known in Britain since 1898. The World Health Organization
considers white asbestos to be just as deadly as other forms.
Sadly, some people put corporate profits above clean air and clean water.

Apparently many of the other individuals who wrote reviews for this book are fabricated by the author or written by very uninformed peoples. A simple checking around reveals that the author Mihkel, has received donations from Exxon-mobil - surpise, surprise he doesn't believe C02 emissions lead to global warming. This is the type of propaganda which has kept the American public in doubt about whether global warming is happening and whether humans are contributing to it. I showed the book to a few professors at various colleges and they were shocked that people believe the stuff written in this book. The ozone holes were part of a natural cycle? 99.9% of scientists consider it an open and shut case that CFC's contributed to the ozone holes. The list goes on.
