Meltdown - The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Scientists, Politicians, and the Media

What's it about?
Patrick Michaels uses the same scientific results as those published by the UN and the media workdwide to show a very different view of global climate. He does not dispute global warming, but  he does point out that this may not be due to mankind and that the rises are within limits defined over thousands of years. His thesis is that many people have manipulated the figures to show an extreme scenario.

Best Quote:
Temperature charts show that the glaciers on top of Mount  Kilimanjaro receded most in the cooler period from 1953 to 1976 rather than the warmer years since. This is due to the fact that cooler air carries less moisture leading to less snow.

Most useful idea:
This book has almost too much scientific data but it is well presented and very easy to read. At least it should divert people from concentrating on global warming and help people focus on the real issues of wasted resources.
