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.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSinger 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 \u003ci\u003eany\u003c\/i\u003e human impact on world climate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As alarmists clamor to impose draconian government restrictions on entire populations in order to combat \"climate change,\" this book reveals some other startling, stubborn contradictory facts, including: \u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCO2 has not caused temperatures or sea levels to rise beyond historical rates.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSevere storms have not increased in frequency or intensity since 1970--neither have heat waves nor droughts.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGlobal \"climate change\" is not harming coral reefs.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAny 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.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\"Carbon\" taxes and other \"solutions\" to the global warming \"crisis\" would have severe consequences for economically disadvantaged groups and nations.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAlarmist climate scientists have hidden their raw temperature data and deleted emails--then undermined the peer-review system to squelch debate.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With the assistance of renowned climate scientists David R. Legates and Anthony R.
