Are the often alarming claims about global warming based on science
and justified by the facts? Is the human race really facing a major
crisis due to emissions from fossil fuels? Would the proposed
Climate Treaty solve a real environmental threat or would it create
worldwide economic and social harms. Fred Singer is a distinguished
astrophysicist who has taken a hard, scientific look at the
evidence. In this new book, Dr. Singer explores the inaccuracies in
historical climate data, the limitations of attempting to model
climate on computers, solar variability and its impact on climate,
the effects of clouds, ocean currents, and sea levels on global
climate, and factors that could mitigate any human impacts on world
climate. Singer's masterful analysis decisively shows that the
pessimistic, and often alarming, global warming scenarios depicted
in the media have no scientific basis. In fact, he finds that many
aspects of any global warming, such as a longer growing season for
food and a reduced need to use fossil fuels for heating, would
actually have a positive impact on the human race. Further, Singer
notes how many proposed 'solutions' to the global warming 'crisis'
(like 'carbon' taxes) would have severe consequences for
economically disadvantaged groups and nations. According to Arthur
C. Clarke, author of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Hot Talk, Cold Science
dares to point out that 'the Emperor has no clothes.' Is there
evidence to suggest discernible human influence on global climate?
Of great interest, this book demonstrates that, at best, the
evidence is sketchy and incomplete. Hot Talk, Cold Science is
essential reading for anyone who wants to be fully informed about
the global warming debate.
