A compelling expose of the highly problematic scholarship of Bjorn
Lomborg, the world's leading global warming skeptic In this major
assessment of leading climate-change skeptic Bjorn Lomborg, Howard
Friel meticulously deconstructs the Danish statistician's claim
that global warming is "no catastrophe" by exposing the systematic
misrepresentations and partial accounting that are at the core of
climate skepticism. His detailed analysis serves not only as a
guide to reading the global warming skeptics, but also as a model
for assessing the state of climate science. With attention to the
complexities of climate-related phenomena across a range of
areas-from Arctic sea ice to the Antarctic ice sheet-The Lomborg
Deception also offers readers an enlightening review of some of
today's most urgent climate concerns. Friel's book is the first to
respond directly to Lomborg's controversial research as published
in The Skeptical Environmentalist (2001) and Cool It: The Skeptical
Environmentalist's Guide to Global Warming (2007). His close
reading of Lomborg's textual claims and supporting footnotes
reveals a lengthy list of findings that will rock climate skeptics
and their allies in the government and news media, demonstrating
that the published peer-reviewed climate science, as assessed
mainly by the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, has
had it mostly right-even if somewhat conservatively right-all
along. Friel's able defense of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth
against Lomborg's repeated attacks is by itself worth an attentive
reading.
