Interesting, this book was peer-reviewed, and recommended for publication…

“Dr. Chris Harrison (Publishing Director of social science publishing for Cambridge University Press), anticipating the level of controversy a book like this would likely provoke, took extra care with the book’s peer-review process. For example, instead of choosing candidates from the usual list of social science referees, Cambridge University Press chose from a list provided by their environmental science publishing program. Four were chosen: a climate scientist, an expert in biodiversity and sustainable development, a specialist on the economics of climate change (whose credentials include reviewing publications for the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)) and a “pure” economist. All four members of Cambridge’s initial review panel agreed that the book should be published.”
