Editorial Review:
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:  - Hoping more would read...
It troubles me that fellow educators will only smile condescendingly at your invitation to have them watch a video, show them what you're reading. Especially say science teachers. In my own field, if someone handed me a book that might challenge some grand notion, or present some new idea ...I would feel some obligation (if I haven't read much from that position already) to become acquainted with what the other views or new idea is saying. What has become of education that no longer obligates ... Read More
Rating: - Funny and easy-to-understand truth about climate and economics
Easy to read and understand terms about climatology and economics (with a twist of humor.) I learned more about these subjects in this short book than I did in college. I would recommend this book to anyone who desires to know how the climate really works and how global warming hysteria policies are causing more damage to humanity than so-called global warming is.
Rating: - Cutting through the hype of global warming hysteria
I cannot recommend this book more highly. It is well written, as entertaining as may be considering it is a serious work, highly informative, and finally, quite persuasive. The objects of that persuasion are primarily twofold.
First, Spencer does not argue that anthropogenic global warming is not currently occurring, but rather that climatologic science can not at its current stage of development support any of the global warming alarmists' projections. The analysis here is quite ... Read More
Rating: - Brilliant!
Roy Spencer clearly explains science, its scientific methodology, and its limitations. He also clearly explains "the science" vis-a-vis "global warming" and "climate change". Then, he clearly explains the economics, the politics, the biases, and the religion. Finally, he proposes a prescription.
Rating: - What real scientists say
Spencer's book clearly highlights what is known and what is not in climate science. This is the real problem when we try to understand media climate news. Roy Spencer gives us a guide very useful to find the right way avoiding the dangers of consensus science hysteria.
