Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition – Review
I’m an alum of the University of Virginia (birthplace of Prof. Fred Singer) and I’m ashamed to say that this man is a conservative whose “distinguished” career includes regularly arguing against the link between CFCs and the ozone hole, the link between second hand smoke and cancer, and now the link between CO2 and global warming. In 1960 he successfully argued that Phobos was an fake moon because it was hollow (of course not true, and Phobos is not hollow). He’s published no peer reviewed papers on climate change and is only representing the oil industry with his fake science. Wake up people–don’t believe fake science funded by the oil industry. Believe the thousands of climatologists who have studied this problem and greatly contributed to the IPCC report. A 2007 Newsweek include story on climate change denial reported that: “In April 1998 a dozen people from the denial machine — possibly including the Marshall Institute, Fred Singer’s group and Exxon — finally met at the American Petroleum Institute’s Washington headquarters. They originally proposed a 5 million campaign, according to a leaked eight-page memo, to convince the public that the science of global warming is riddled with controversy and uncertainty.” The plan was reportedly aimed at “getting questions about and undercutting the ‘prevailing technical wisdom’” on climate change. According to Newsweek, the plan was leaked to the press and therefore was never implemented.
