Editorial Review: Product Description: If you listen to the media, you would think that man-made environmental catastrophe was about to engulf the world and imperil civilization. From Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth to nightly jeremiads about CO2 emissions and carbon footprints, we are bombarded around the clock with alarmist reports that disasterous global warming is on the rise and that it's our fault. In Climate Confusion, noted climatologist Roy Spencer shows that fears about global warming are vastly exaggerated and are driven by politics, not truth. He shows that a global superstorm has already arrived-but it is a storm of hype and hysteria. Climate Confusion is a ground-breaking book that combines impeccable scientific authority with great wit and literary panache to expose the hysteria surrounding the myths of global warming and climate change. Spencer shows that the earth is far more resilient than exopessimists pretend and that increasing wealth and technology ingenuity, far from being the enemies of the environment, are the only means we possess to solve environmental problems as they arise. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - CredibilityConsidering that he has a PhD and has been working with NASA for a long time, the author has high credentials, unlike Mr. Gore. He explains science is still in it's primitive state, that scientists have only scratched the surface. Therefore it is highly unlikely that CO2 can be the blame. The Earth contains far too many factors to consider. What he does explain though, is that nature has it's own check & balance. When CO2 increases, temperature increases a LITTLE, but this increases water vapor. ... Read More Rating: - Inspiring and NeededDr. Roy Spencer is an atmospheric scientist whose wonderful voice has added much to the global warming debate. This is a brief primer on the nature of the battles whose outcome may soon cripple our economy and jeopardize our individual rights. I was excited about the prospects of reading it long before it got released. That the US is currently squandering billion of dollars for no provable reason is indicative of the type of hysteria that has taken hold over the minds of our elites. He, like the ... Read More Rating:  - This is not a review rather just an opinionSorry guys I dont know how to post a comment onto the first page of the book, or if there is any way to do so. I just noticed how appallingly biased Amazon user community is towards climate change/global warming issue as I have looked around for information and found that books and reviews against climate change theory are overly praised while those for climate change theory are badly pulverized. Peace, Rating: - Follow the moneyNice to see the author refute claims that he is "biased by money". ...Not that being "Government funded" means "unbiased". On that point, someone...somewhere...should point out that the side making the doomsday claims about global warming is the one getting the money. Billions of dollars have already been spent by the U.S government on this research...and the best way to get your hands on that money is by scaring the crap out of Congress/the media. What scientist is ... Read More Rating: - Global Warming , fact or mythThis is a very well written book that is easy to read and understand by the average person that is not educated in weather. This book gives facts about weather and related subjects by informed professionals that don't have a political agenda and want to know the truth. Thanks for this book. Jerry Bratcher
