So says the cover to Professor Ian Plimers 'Heaven and earth global warming and the missing science'
My copy landed from Amazon yesterday. I've been looking forward to reading this for a while ![]() From the cover notes:- "Climate has always changed. It always will. Ian Plimer offers compelling evidence that our fear of global warming derives from politics and dogma rather than scientific proof. Climate change politics argues Ian Plimer is religious fundamentalism masquerading as science. It panders to the zeitgeist while suppressing information that challenges thispopular belief system. The hypothesis that humans can change the climate is unsupported by evidence from geology, archaeology, history and astronomy.Co2 levels have been higher in the earths history without riving climate change and present atmospheric Co2 is, in fact,at its lowest for 500 million years. Far from being the cause for alarm, the changes observed today are less than those of the past. We are certainly facing a global threat, argues Professor Plimer, but it is ot the threat of global warming: it is the policy responses to perceived global warming and the demonising of those who dissent." |

We still need to lower our CO2 emissions whether global warming is a product of human activity or not. Oil is running out, we need alternatives, global warming legislation and other green initiatives will help in this effort.
