Product Description
In this New York Times bestseller, authors Singer and Avery present the compelling concept that global temperatures have been rising mostly or entirely because of a natural cycle. Using historic data from two millennia of recorded history combined with natural physical records, the authors argue that the 1,500 year solar-driven cycle that has always controlled the earth's climate remains the driving force in the current warming trend.

I cannot yet rate this, but since I must give a rating, will give it a 5 as I do believe I will find I agree with the materials presented. I have had no time to even scan it.

ALGORE: "I can't get over losing the election even though I ran an inept campaign so I'll create an 'I told you so....' hysteria for people even dumber than I am."
God help us.

In his excellent book, "Heat - How to stop the Planet from Burning," author George Monbiot unmasks Fred Singer as the paid puppet that he is. The website www.exxonsecrets.org lists over 100 organizations which have taken money from Exxon to spread the illusion that the science on climate change is contradictory, the scientists are split, environmentalists are charlatans. My question to Singer, his co-author, and Exxon executives is this: Don't you want to see your children live, too? Do you have some alternate planet where they're going to be able to spend all that money you're hoarding? Executives who fund public misinformation campaigns should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity. That this book is the first to come up when you put in a search for "global warming" should be exhibit A. After the Exxon execs have been strung up, the Philip Morris sociopaths should be next, for their underwriting of the website junkscience, created as a pretzel logic means of casting doubt on the link between smoking and cancer by also questioning global warming.
As an intercepted memo from the tobacco company Brown & Williamson stated, "Doubt is our product since it is the best means of competing with the 'body of fact' that exists in the mind of the general public. It is also the means of establishing a controversy."

The releasing of methane gas from the perma-frost, lakes, and ocean can happen within the next couple of yrs due to the rapid warming of the ocean. Check this out for more detail.

The anti-Al, clear logical and based on facts July 15, 2008

In this book, Avery and Singer argue that Al Gore's theory that the Earth is headed for catastrophic climate change due to increased CO2 production is a lot of hot air. They argue that the relatively mild global warming which we have experienced thus far is due to a long-established 1,500 cycle, in which the Earth naturally heats up and cools down, with no assistance from us.
I do not know if Avery and Singer are correct. I am not an expert in this field, and I have not yet read any of the serious guys on the other side. The only book on the other side which I have read is Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth.
Singer and Avery wipe the floor with Al. Al's book is dreadful. It is filled with emotion and moralism. It has very little text, but lots of pictures. It has no footnotes. From any serious scientific perspective, Al's book is a joke. Al's theory may be correct, but Al's book is a rock video between book covers, not a scientific argument.
Singer and Avery's book is everything that Al's book is not. It is tightly argued. It is packed with facts. Everything in it is footnoted, and the footnotes largely take you to peer-reviewed scientific articles. You can agree or disagree with the book, but you have to take it seriously as science.
I am going to read more on the subject. My feeling, thus far, is that unless someone on Al's side makes a really serious effort to refute Singer and Avery, the contest goes to the global warming skeptics, more or less by default. Gore is an emotional non-scientist. These guys are professionals, and they take Al apart, bit by bit.
