| adam_text | In this well-informed and hard-hitting
response to the scaremongering of the climate
alarmists, Nigel Lawson, former Chancellor
of the Exchequer and Secretary of State for
Energy, argues that it is time for us to take a
cool look at global warming.
Lawson carefully and succinctly examines
all aspects of the global warming issue:
the science, the economics, the politics, and
the ethics. He concludes that, contrary to the
deeply-flawed Stern Review, the conventional
wisdom on the subject is suspect on a number
of grounds; that global warming is not the
devastating threat to the planet it is widely
alleged to be; and that the remedy that is
currently being proposed, which is in any
event politically unattainable, would be
worse than the threat it is supposed to avert.
All this is argued with logic, common
sense, and even wit, and thoroughly sourced
and referenced. The book concludes by
outlining the form a rational response to
global warming should take, and explains
why the mistaken conventional wisdom has
become the quasi-religion it is today, and the
dangers that this presents.
Lord Lawson has written a long overdue
and much needed corrective to the barrage of
spin and hype to which the politicians and
media have been subjecting the public on this
important issue, which affects us all.
