Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science [Paperback]

This is a very powerful, clear, understandable and extremely useful book . . . [Plimer] convincingly criticizes the UN, the IPCC, U.K. and U.S. politicians, as well as Hollywood show business celebrities. He strictly distinguishes science from environmental activism, politics, and opportunism.... a damning critique of the 'evidence' underpinning man-made global warming....a brilliantly argued book... Heaven and Earth is an evidence-based attack on conformity and orthodoxy, including my own, and a reminder to respect informed dissent and beware of ideology subverting evidence....the best book on science and scientists I have ever read.Only a geological perspective can provide a proper view of climate change. Professor Plimers book does a masterful job of demonstrating that Nature rules the climate, not human activity....[A] wonderfully comprehensive and fearless book... If there are any willing to hear some truly inconvenient truths on the stampeding advocacy of global warming, Mr. Plimer's book is a collection of some of the sternest....[A]rguably no one is more responsible for the shift in opinion than University of Adelaide geologist Ian Plimer, whose new book Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science is an authoritative scientific refutation of the claims of human-caused global warming.&a bible for climate change skeptics.For those who want to take a thinking approach to global warming untainted by politics or faith, Heaven and Earth is a worthwhile consideration.Plimer will convince you....the climate sceptic bible...Climate, sea level, and ice sheets have always changed, and the changes observed today are less than those of the past. Climate changes are cyclical and are driven by the Earths position in the galaxy, the sun, wobbles in the Earths orbit, ocean currents, and plate tectonics. In previous times, atmospheric carbon dioxide was far higher than at present but did not drive climate change. No runaway greenhouse effect or acid oceans occurrl3)
