Hot Talk, Cold Science (Third Edition)

Global Warming's Unfinished Debate

De: S. Fred Singer

Narrado por: Axel Bosley

The revised and expanded third edition of Hot Talk, Cold Science forms the capstone of the distinguished astrophysicist Dr. S. Fred Singer’s lucid, yet hard scientific look at climate change. And the book is no less explosive than its predecessors—and certainly never more timely.

Singer explores the inaccuracies in historical climate data and the failures of climate models, as well as the impact of solar variability, clouds, ocean currents, and sea levels on global climate—plus factors that could mitigate any human impact on world climate.

Singer’s masterful analysis decisively shows that the pessimistic, and often alarming, global-warming scenarios depicted in the media have no scientific basis. In fact, he finds that many aspects of increased levels of CO2, as well as any modest warming, such as a longer growing seasons for food and a reduced need to use fossil fuels for heating, would have a highly positive impact on the human race.

As alarmists clamor to impose draconian government restrictions on entire populations in order to combat “climate change,” this book reveals some contradictory facts, including:

• CO2 has not caused temperatures or sea levels to rise beyond historical rates.
• Severe storms have not increased in frequency or intensity since 1970—neither have heat waves nor droughts.
• Global “climate change” is not harming coral reefs.
• Any increases in CO2 concentrations across huge time spans haven’t preceded rising global temperatures, they’ve followed them by about 600 to 800 years—just the opposite of alarmist claims.
• “Carbon” taxes and other “solutions” to the global warming “crisis” would have severe consequences for economically disadvantaged groups and nations.
• Alarmist climate scientists have hidden their raw temperature data and deleted emails—then undermined the peer-review system to squelch debate.

In sum, despite all the hot talk—and outright duplicity—there is no “climate crisis” resulting from human activities and no such threat on the horizon.

Compelling, hard science, well documented

This book shows clearly that extreme environmental groups got control of the United Nation's climate study office, then found themselves a junior scientist who was a fellow traveler with them, and got him in a key role in the UN climate study. They then proceeded to have the UN produce idealogically driven and biased summaries of data, hiding or distorting data that did not further their agenda, intentionally blocking or squelching dissenting studies, and marginalizing scientists and others who disputed their conclusions. They have abandoned the scientific method. They announce as widely accepted fact assertions that in fact are not widely supported by climate scientists. They are proof that if you repeat a lie boldly and frequently enough, eventually the public will accept it as truth. The fact is that most climate scientists have serious reservations about climate change as presented by the UN, western governments, and the media.

Must read

Be sure to read all the way through to the last five minutes about Lysenkoism. If you’re not familiar with it, it will be an eye-opener and fits well with the rest of the book.
