Re#249 Salamantis and others,
I aquired a passing interest in AGW about ten years ago and listened to the arguements thereto but found a paucity of solid science to substantiate the “religious fervour” supporting it.(far too simplistic).
But everyone gets caught up in the possibility of a forthcoming doomsday
applying the Pascal’s wager principle.
However one month ago I received a reccomendation from Melanie Philips
to read a book called”Heaven and Earth”by Prof Ian Plimer(Australia’s foremost geologist)on the subject.
This lad is a real scientist and gives the history of the earths weather
over the last few billion years.
His approach is polymathematical and the bibliography is immense.
Without rancor he brings the reader up to date with earth’s climatic history such that sometimes one has to pause for breath at the quantity of information contained therein.
The result is a debunking of AGW fanatics with massive evidence.
It would be interesting for science interested Lizards to read and publish
their opinions here;since for me it is in the absense of new discovery
the last word.
Not wishing to infringe the rules of the site I think it is permissable to mention that this book is available from a very well known internet book purveyor.
I would be particularly interested in your view Salamantis since I have found all your science writings to be most illuminating.
I think thatyou too Charles would enjoy the book.
