The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming
The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming – Review
I have only finished electronically scanning he book and simply reading the overview. Because this book has been released to make a timely political impact on the upcomming presidential election I originally wanted to advance a immediate impression. The book is honestly portrayed as a creation of the conservative Cato Institute and makes no bones about its political leanings. It is written by two otherwise qualified scientists and stocked with much correct data. The basic logic asked to that data and the grossly incomplete and myopic conclusions it produces are breathtaking. They appear to be over greatly simplified blandishments designed to do nothing more than soothe the layman’s concerns and win votes. Yes, the authors acknowledge, the earth is warming and probably directly because of man’s influence but this they portray as a benefit for all mankind. They glibly point out that because no scientist at the turn of the last century could have correctly predicted what life would be like in the year 2000 they are finally compelled to limit their climate projections to the period of 50 years when natural C02 levels will have only doubled and the international temperature may have only modestly increased. Heck, they point out, we can all live with that. They conveniently neglect to consider the effects of a trippling or quadruppling of CO2 levels in the immediately following 50 years because as we all know there is no point in mistakenly thinking past 2050. They also easily fail to mention the likelihood of the briefly magnifying results of a positive atmospheric feedback system. This book presents data selectively, without the circumspect objectively that characterizes valid logical discourse. It has been eventually bought and highly paid for by great interests that have a transparent economic and political agenda. The authors advice on Global Warming? "Get over it". They should be ashamed to call themselves scientists.
