Global Warming: Alarmists, Skeptics and Deniers brings a unique
geological perspective to this politically charged issue, a
perspective that has been ignored far too long. Written by a
father-son team of geoscientist and attorney, it is the concise
guide to the global warming controversy that has been long needed.
As a university professor and research geoscientist for thirty
years, Dr. Robinson knows that geological science is essential for
placing the global warming controversy in proper prospective. One
cannot hope to understand how humans might be causing climate
change without an understanding of the magnitude and speed natural
processed are capable of when it comes to climate change. Earth
history is the only yardstick we have to determine whether recent
climate change is unusual or not. Yet, inexplicably, a vast
repository of geologic data has been ignored in this contentious
issue. Global Warming: Alarmists, Skeptics and Deniers was written
to correct this oversight.
This book has been years in the making. It follows the outline
Dr. Robinson used successfully for many years in a college classes
taken by large numbers of students. Using an easy-to-understand
question and answer format, the fourteen chapters of the book cover
systematically all the major scientific issues of global warming.
With more than three hundred references to peer-reviewed science
journal articles and numerous illustrations, it shows how the
scientific underpinnings of the global warming theory are actually
weak and uncertain.
Dr. Robinson is the author of numerous scientific articles in
national and international journals. His background in teaching a
wide variety of geology courses has shown him how to present
difficult scientific concepts in a way that is understandable and
interesting to non-scientists. He has chaired sessions at
scientific conferences, led seminars for science teachers, served
as the head at two different college geoscience departments and was
interviewed on a television network. His co-author and son, an
attorney experienced in argumentative rhetoric, has helped him hone
in on the erroneously based assumptions underlying activists'
arguments. He has also served as a sounding board for areas where
the writing, intended for a general audience, needed to be less
technical. Together, this unique father-son team present a well
thought out and fully documented discussion of the global warming
theory without impugning anyone's sincerity, motives or personal
integrity. Global Warming: Alarmists, Skeptics and Deniers covers
the science of global warming, but unlike many other books, not the
politics.

Proceedings of the 44th Session of the International Seminars on
Nuclear War and Planetary Emergencies held in Erice, Sicily. This
seminar has again gathered, in 2011, over one hundred scientists in
an interdisciplinary effort that has been going on for the last 31
years, to examine and analyze planetary problems which have been
followed up, all year long, by the World Federation of Scientists'
Permanent Monitoring Panels.
