Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage) – Review
This is a clear, concise, highly readable, assessment of the range of originally proposed responses to climate change. With an emphasis on carefully examining the optons that do the most good for the least cost, the author presents climatic predictions and viable remedies as widely discussed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change of the United Nations. The author quickly identifies and addresses many examples of hyperbole from new media reports and Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth,” giving clarification and advice that tones down the rhetoric of catastrophe and bolsters arguments for functional responses that can address environmental problems on a technical basis while publicly acknowledging economic and political realities. If you need to know what can really be done beyond hysteria and handwringing, read this little essay.
