He asks probing questions and offers reasoned possibilities. He notes the obvious weaknesses that others too often ignore....

Fred Singer's lucid, yet hard scientific look at climate change. \u003cb\u003eAnd the book is no less explosive than its predecessors--and certainly never more timely. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Singer explores the \u003cb\u003einaccuracies in historical climate data\u003c\/b\u003e and the \u003cb\u003efailures of climate models\u003c\/b\u003e, as well as the impact of solar variability, clouds, ocean currents, and sea levels on global climate--plus factors that could mitigate \u003ci\u003eany\u003c\/i\u003e human impact on world climate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Singer's masterful analysis decisively shows that the pessimistic, and often \u003cb\u003ealarming, global-warming scenarios\u003c\/b\u003e depicted in the media have \u003cb\u003eno scientific basis\u003c\/b\u003e. In fact, he finds that many aspects of increased levels of CO2, as well as any modest warming, such as a longer growing seasons for food and a reduced need to use fossil fuels for heating, would have a highly positive impact on the human race. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As alarmists clamor to impose \u003cb\u003edraconian government restrictions on entire populations\u003c\/b\u003e in order to combat \"climate change,\" this book reveals some other startling, stubborn contradictory facts, including: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCO2 \u003c\/b\u003ehas \u003ci\u003enot\u003c\/i\u003e caused temperatures or sea levels to rise beyond historical rates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSevere storms \u003c\/b\u003ehave \u003ci\u003enot\u003c\/i\u003e increased in frequency or intensity since 1970--neither have heat waves nor droughts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGlobal \"climate change\" \u003c\/b\u003eis \u003ci\u003enot\u003c\/i\u003e harming coral reefs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny \u003cb\u003eincreases in CO2 concentrations\u003c\/b\u003e across huge time spans haven't \u003ci\u003epreceded\u003c\/i\u003e rising global temperatures, they've \u003ci\u003efollowed\u003c\/i\u003e them by about 600 to 800 years--just the opposite of alarmist claims.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\"Carbon\" taxes and other \"solutions\"\u003c\/b\u003e to the global warming \"crisis\" would have severe consequences for economically disadvantaged groups and nations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAlarmist climate scientists have hidden their raw temperature data\u003c\/b\u003e and deleted emails--then undermined the peer-review system to squelch debate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e In sum, despite all the hot talk--and outright duplicity--\u003cb\u003ethere is no \"climate crisis\"\u003c\/b\u003e resulting from human activities and \u003cb\u003eno such threat on the horizon\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With the assistance of renowned climate scientists David R.
