Editorial Review: Product Description: If you listen to the media, you would think that man-made environmental catastrophe was about to engulf the world and imperil civilization. From Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth to nightly jeremiads about CO2 emissions and carbon footprints, we are bombarded around the clock with alarmist reports that disasterous global warming is on the rise and that it's our fault. In Climate Confusion, noted climatologist Roy Spencer shows that fears about global warming are vastly exaggerated and are driven by politics, not truth. He shows that a global superstorm has already arrived-but it is a storm of hype and hysteria. Climate Confusion is a ground-breaking book that combines impeccable scientific authority with great wit and literary panache to expose the hysteria surrounding the myths of global warming and climate change. Spencer shows that the earth is far more resilient than exopessimists pretend and that increasing wealth and technology ingenuity, far from being the enemies of the environment, are the only means we possess to solve environmental problems as they arise.

 Rating:  - climate confusion This book is one of those books once you open the cover you put it down when you get to the back cover, I have been suggesting to everyone I know to read this book. Rating:  - He's the one trying to create confusionIt's not difficult to discern University of Alabama meteorologist Roy W. Spencer's bias. He writes forthrightly on page 5, "I believe that the only rights that the natural world has are those conferred upon it by humans." This sort of God-like arrogance characterizes much of what he writes. He ridicules science and beats up on the usual right wing bogeymen, Al Gore, actors, Hollywood, etc. What he doesn't mention here is that he had a conversion a few years ago when he rejected biological evolution in favor of Intelligent Design. While it could be argued that the author of a book on climate need not mention that he is a creationist, it does give the reader pause to realize that Spencer not only is a global warming denier, he ... Read More: Rating: - Telling the truth behind the Global Warming RELIGIONAs one person who believes we should reduce pollution for the betterment of our lives, but does not believe in the hysteria of Global Warming as the Al Gores of the media and entertainment believe, it is refreshing to FINALLY get a clear understanding of the this MADE-UP religion of lies and scare tactics na dbad political pandering. I always knew from a young age that the environment and its system of controls will always balance out and that man, even though he has the power to alter his environment, does not have as significant an impact as is believed. To assume that we have that kind of power is placing humans on a even level with the universe or God if you want. Roy Spencer takes the reader though a basic understanding ... Read More: Rating: - CredibilityConsidering that he has a PhD and has been working with NASA for a long time, the author has high credentials, unlike Mr. Gore. He explains science is still in it's primitive state, that scientists have only scratched the surface. Therefore it is highly unlikely that CO2 can be the blame. The Earth contains far too many factors to consider. What he does explain though, is that nature has it's own check & balance. When CO2 increases, temperature increases a LITTLE, but this increases water vapor. Water vapor is the gas that will form cloud, which block out the sun. This in the process prevents the sun's UV light from entering the atmosphere and reflect back to the Earth continuously with infrared, thus negating the greenhouse effect. The author also ... Read More: Rating: - Inspiring and NeededDr. Roy Spencer is an atmospheric scientist whose wonderful voice has added much to the global warming debate. This is a brief primer on the nature of the battles whose outcome may soon cripple our economy and jeopardize our individual rights. I was excited about the prospects of reading it long before it got released. That the US is currently squandering billion of dollars for no provable reason is indicative of the type of hysteria that has taken hold over the minds of our elites. He, like the 500 Scientists the Heartland Institute published whose research refutes man-made global warming [...] is not a "global warming denier." He is a "man-made global warming" questioner which is a distinction that Al Gore does not acknowledge or appreciate. ... Read More: |
