| adam_text | There s a whole new work), of global
warming science today, but few people
hear about it. In recent years, an internal¬
ly consistent body of scientific literature
has emerged that argues cogently for global
warming but against the gioom-and-doom
vision of climate change. But those who merely
call attention to this literature are intimidated,
blacklisted, and even driven from prestigious
scientific employment. Calling the current
scientific environment a climate of extremes
is an understatement.
It s a fact that there are fewer citations in
the refereed scientific literature providing
evidence for the moderate view of global
warming, but that s to be expected. In Climate
of Extremes, climatologists Patrick,). Michaels
and Robert Balling Jr. explain that climate
science is hardly unbiased, even though the
global climate community itself believes that
any new finding has an equal probability of
making our climatic future appear more or
less dire.
Michaels and Balling examine all aspects
of the apocalyptic vision of climate change
making headlines every day. This includes
news stories on hurricanes being pumped up
by global warming, the rapid melting of
Greenland and Antarctica causing a sea-level
rise of
20
feet over the next
90
years, the
increasing pace of global warming, and a
swiftly growing number of heat-wave related
deaths. Each of these pop-culture icons of
climate change turns out to be short on facts
and long on exaggeration. People who read
Climate of Extremes will emerge well-armed
against an army of extremists hawking climate
change as the greatest threat ever to our society
and wav of life.
