"The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global warming (and Environmentalism)" is, mostly, poor, due to too much ranting and raving.
However, I consider it better than Gore's "An Inconvienient Truth". First, there are more facts. Second, more of the facts are true. Third, the author actually has more references than Gore's book did.
Unfortunately, both books, this one as well as Gore's, are more about Propaganda than about real science.
I suggest that you seek out ... Read More

The lesson that gets taught over and over again without being "learned" very well is the effects of "unintended consequences". This book includes examples of that. Rachel Carson was correct about DDT, however the overzealous implementation of her ideas has led to the hardship of millions wherever malaria is endemic. One should not be gleeful that some of the global warming hyperbole is poked in this book, because there are important nuggets of truth within the PRO environmentalist views. Sometimes ... Read More

Another example of how, as the saying attributed to Benjamin Disraeli goes, there's "Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics".

Let's see, should we believe the 95% of climate scientists and the IPCC reports on global warming? Or should we believe a man who works for the "Competitive Enterprise Institute", a conservative think tank funded by oil companies like Amoco and Texaco?
Wake up people--global warming naysayers paid by oil companies are hardly credible sources of information.
If thousands of astronomers from around the world said that an asteroid would hit Earth in 30 years, would you believe them? ... Read More

This is a shrill and near-libelous diatribe against greens, environmentalists, the media in general, and Al Gore in particular.
Its only redeeming feature is the last two chapters that actually give some reasoned information about why the Kyoto Protocol might be counterproductive.
If you can get that far without going postal, I salute you. These two chapters are the only reason I give this book two stars instead of one.
