DESCRIPTION:
The authors make persuasive arguments and climate crisis skeptics will applaud the book's message. Other readers may wonder why governments would, as Michaels and Balling suggest, have a stake in manufacturing a crisis, and think that the book's credibility is undermined by the authors' tendency to mix sarcasm with facts and figures (Earth's temperature is doubtlessly warmer than it was 100 years ago. . Get over it) and clear frustration with their minority status in the global warming debate. From Publishers Weekly Michaels (The Satanic Gases) and Balling (The Heated Debate) claim that, although global warming is real, it does not herald a climate crisis and that human beings cannot significantly alter the temperature trajectory of the planet.

Abacus said A great sequel to "Meltdown". Michaels revisits and updates Meltdown: The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Scientists, Politicians, and the Media. The authors explain why you never get the straight scoop about global warming. They refer to Robert Rosenthal "file drawer problem." For any given research area you get only to see the 5% of the studies that support the current view, and you don't get to see the 95% that do not support . A moderate book filled with relevant information It is a very nice book that is crowded with graphs and information.At the beginning, Michaels announces that he will have to leave his school in June 2009 because the current conditions don't allow him to keep both his scientific integrity and the funding. You will find some embarrassing quotes by leading IPCC scientists and Al Gore. But then the real book begins.The authors classify themselves as believers in m. Badly Needed Balance Reason is badly needed in the discussion of climate change. Every week there are emotionally charged stories about violent storms, drought, species threatened, Greenland melting. This book allows folks to take a breath and asks them to reason. There is mild climate change partly caused by CO2. We have time to take measured cost-effective steps to deal with consequences of this quite gradual change. There is a da
explain why the news and information we receive about global warming have become so apocalyptic. Climatologists Patrick Michaels and Robert Balling Jr. That bias is then communicated through the media, who focus on only extreme predictions. The authors compellingly illuminate the other side of the story, the science we aren't being told. The science itself has become increasingly biased, with warnings of extreme consequences from global warming becoming the norm. Is the weather truly getting worse? When it comes to global warming, dire predictions seem to be all we see or hear. This body of work details how the impact of global warming is far less severe than is generally believed and far from catastrophic.
