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.

Climate Confusion April 29, 2008

As a technically trained person I find this book's information and rational logic far more beliveable then the emotional hype that is being rammed down our throats by the finantical media and the selfserving politicians. When the "green" people partk their vehicles, airplanes and motorized boats; and then moge into sod covered holes in the ground like our earlier farmers did; I'll believe that they truly believe that man is causing the distruction of the planet. If all of the people that are worried about the build up of CO2 in our atmosphere would hold their breaths for only 10 minutes a major source of the problem will be solved.

At last - a book written for the non-scientist with clear, concise information about what is and what is not happening to the climate! I doubt that Al Gore will endorse it, but I found it to be very informative. As well, it is an easy read.

Wonderful. Dr. Spencer explains the scientific process in layman's terms and puts the current hysteria over climate into perspective.
Global warming hysteria... April 27, 2008
3 out of 7 found this review helpful
Roy Spencer writes intelligently about the weather. He is understandable, though I believe his occassional sarcasm tends to diminish his credibility. This doesn't hurt the book significantly, however. He points out how the politics of man-made global warming is hurting the poor around the world. For those of you who have jumped on the man-made, global warming band wagon, I suggest you open your purses and wallets a bit wider. The true motives behind this Chicken Little talk is soon to be realized, as our pandering politicians began to add consumption taxes to our already over taxed populace.

Removes Confusion from the Issue April 26, 2008
4 out of 8 found this review helpful
With the constant barrage from the liberal media crying Global Warming over the past several years, it was very refreshing to read about this issue from the perspective of a scientist and a meteorologist. All the media reports is "carbon". To find out that the natural carbon is 38 parts per 100,000 and the "so-called" disaster is 39 parts per 100,000 was a real eye-opener. The book is full of these types of illustrations and provides a great deal of insight to the lay person. The pressure for these competing groups for our tax dollars to promote global warming is unbelievable. One thing I learned for sure is that no one can model climate change and the issue of climate is so new that no conclusions should be reached until we have generations of accurate data. Climate Confusion is a must read for any person who really wants to see this issue from a neutral perspective instead of a political perspective. The liberals of this world are out to pick our pockets in the name of global warming. We must become better informed to resist their unending pressure to control our daily lives and confiscate our individual worth.
