Description
"In Hot Talk, Cold Science, Fred Singer looks at the issue of climate change the way a physicist should. He asks probing questions and offers reasoned possibilities. He notes the obvious weaknesses that others too often ignore.... Fortunately, some like Dr. Singer still prefer the joys and value of scientific inquiry."
--Richard S. Lindzen, Alfred P. Sloan Professor Emeritus of Meteorology, M.I.T.
- 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.
