Roy Spencer shows that fears about global warming are vastly exaggerated and are driven by politics, not truth. A global superstorm has already arrived - but it is a storm of hype and hysteria. This ground-breaking book combines impeccable scientific authority with great wit to expose the hysteria surrounding the myths of global warming and climate change. Spencer shows that the earth is far more resilient than we think.

An informed and balanced analysis
S., an avid reader of science books, 03/25/2008
Anyone who is able to open their minds and venture out of their narrow belief system will find Spencer's book a very informed and balanced analysis of this complex issue--complex not just because because of the science, but because of the political and economic aspects of this issue.

Science not ruled by consensus
A reviewer, A reviewer, 03/25/2008
This might be a hard pill to swallow for some, but science is not ruled by popular consensus. You can cobble together 10,000 scientists who agree that the sun revolves around the earth. That wouldn't make it so. This is not to say Dr. Spencer is the new Galileo, but if we're going to have a serious debate on global warming - and, with all due respect, Mr. Gore, we DO need to vet this issue - we should consider dissenting views. If these global warming alarmists are so certain that climate change is primarily man made, that this threat is apocalyptic and imminent - then address Dr. Spencer's arguments. Why not put the ad hominem attacks aside and make a real case? The most important question, for me, is how will global warming policies hurt the world's impoverished citizens? Let's consider the costs and benefits before we wildly, and emotionally, overreact to what my or may not be happening in the atmosphere. If you have any questions about climate change or are concerned over how well man-made policy can actually deal with vast environmental issues, then I highly recommend this book. As far as I am concerned the REAL debate over climate change has only just begun. Climate Confusion, and Dr. Spencer, are invaluable additions in this ONGIONG conversation. 5 stars.
