Disputing Global Warming (Climate Change and Its Causes, Effects and Prediction)

Global Warming - just that term evokes many people to nod their heads and fret about an impending climate disaster. In this book, the authors address some of the recent media coverage of global warming and Hollywood's involvement in the issue. Included is a discussion on former Vice President Al Gore's movie "An Inconvenient Truth". Recently, advocates of alarmism have grown increasingly desperate to try to convince the public that global warming is the greatest moral issue of our generation. During the past year, the American people have been served up an unprecedented parade of environmental alarmism by the media and entertainment industry, which link every possible weather event to global warming. The year 2006 saw many major organs of the media dismiss any pretence of balance and objectivity on climate change coverage and instead crossed squarely into global warming advocacy. This book summarises some of the recent developments in the controversy over whether or not humans have created a climate catastrophe. Details on how teams of international scientists have dissented from the UN IPCC's view of climate science is included in this book as well.
