Attention Al Gore:
The Science is NOT settled
THE DENIERS-by a world famous environmentalist—highlights the brave scientists-all leaders in their fields—who demolish the conventional wisdom on global warming.
This changes the debate forever. The scientists profiled are too eminent and their research too devastating to allow simplistic views of global warming to survive.
Al Gore and his media allies claim the only scientists who dispute the alarmist view on global warming are corrupt crackpots and "deniers", comparable to neo-Nazis who deny the Holocaust.
Now internationally renowned environmentalist author Lawrence Solomon calmly and methodically debunks Gore's outrageous charges, showing in one 'headline' case after another that the scientists who dispute Gore's doomsday scenarios have far more credibility than those who support Gore's theories. These men who expose Gore's claims as absurd hold top positions at the most prestigious scientific institutes in the world. Their work is cited and acclaimed throughout the scientific community. No wonder Gore and his allies want to pretend they don't exist.
Lawrence Solomon is not only a journalist, but a longtime environmental activist. Solomon knew firsthand from his efforts in the battles over nuclear energy in the 1970s and 1980s that scientists with integrity can hold unconventional and unpopular views, despite the scorn heaped upon them by the establishment. He wondered if something similar wasn't happening in the case of those being tarred as global warming deniers. In his regular column in Canada's National Post, he began to tell their story.
In THE DENIERS he profiles some of the principal dissenters from global warming dogma-all recognized leaders in their fields, with many of them even active in the official body that oversees most of the world's climate-change research, the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
In the process, Solomon provides absorbing insight into both the scientific issues and the ferocious political and media battles that are being waged about global warming. The scientists he profiles are unflaggingly honest: many of them not only disagree profoundly with the global warming doomsayers, but with other scientists who are also profiled in this book. "Such disagreement," he says, "is the very stuff of science" - real science, not the debased and politicized Al Gore variety.
THE DENIERS also shows how these men have suffered for their integrity, how Gore and Co. have mounted an all-out campaign against them, portraying them as hacks bought off by profit-mad oil companies or as non-credentialed cranks and lunatics. On the contrary, Solomon writes, their impeccable credentials "are often far more impressive than those of some of the gurus propounding climate-change catastrophes."
In profiling these "deniers," Solomon does a valuable service in advancing honest debate and asking real questions about the most contentious issue of our times. Among the topics Solomon and his subjects cover:
- The Medieval Warming Period - Gore & Co try to erase it because it proves recent warming is far from unprecedented. The world famous statistician who exposed their tactics under oath before Congress.
- Gore and Co. claim "everyone knows" that current CO2 levels are extraordinarily high and dangerous. Meet the world-renowned expert on ancient ice who says current CO2 levels were common in the 19th century.
- How the natural, cyclic increase in the earth's temperature may be causing increased levels of CO2 rather than the reverse. And the disasters we could be facing if temperatures begin falling and CO2 levels begin to fall with them.
- The odd story of how the world's leading solar scientists became the bitter enemies of the global warming establishment.
- Meet not one but several of the world's greatest scientists who declare the complex computer models at the heart of global warming alarmism to be incapable of producing a coherent scientific prediction.
- How a much-cited and influential National Geographic article making the case for global warming relied on imaginary glaciers and ice sheets, not on the actual formations that exist in Greenland and Antarctica
- Why the Kyoto Protocol and carbon tax and trade schemes are the greatest threat today to the global environment-and the poor of the third world.
Al Gore says any scientist who disagrees with him on Global Warming is a kook, or a crook. Guess he never met these guys:
Dr. Edward Wegman—former chairman of the Committee on Applied and Theoretical Statistics of the National Academy of Sciences—demolishes the famous "hockey stick" graph that launched the global warming panic.
Dr. David Bromwich—president of the International Commission on Polar Meteorology—says "it's hard to see a global warming signal from the mainland of Antarctica right now."
Prof. Paul Reiter—Chief of Insects and Infectious Diseases at the famed Pasteur Institute—says "no major scientist with any long record in this field" accepts Al Gore's claim that global warming spreads mosquito-borne diseases.
Prof. Hendrik Tennekes—director of research, Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute—states "there exists no sound theoretical framework for climate predictability studies" used for global warming forecasts.
Dr. Christopher Landsea—past chairman of the American Meteorological Society's Committee on Tropical Meteorology and Tropical Cyclones—says "there are no known scientific studies that show a conclusive physical link between global warming and observed hurricane frequency and intensity."
Dr. Antonino Zichichi—one of the world's foremost physicists, former president of the European Physical Society, who discovered nuclear antimatter—calls global warming models "incoherent and invalid."
Dr. Zbigniew Jaworowski—world-renowned expert on the ancient ice cores used in climate research—says the U.N. "based its global-warming hypothesis on arbitrary assumptions and these assumptions, it is now clear, are false."
Prof. Tom V. Segalstad—head of the Geological Museum, University of Oslo—says "most leading geologists" know the U.N.'s views "of Earth processes are implausible."
Dr. Syun-Ichi Akasofu—founding director of the International Arctic Research Center, twice named one of the "1,000 Most Cited Scientists," says much "Arctic warming during the last half of the last century is due to natural change."
Dr. Claude Allegre—member, U.S. National Academy of Sciences and French Academy of Science, he was among the first to sound the alarm on the dangers of global warming. His view now: "The cause of this climate change is unknown."
Dr. Richard Lindzen—Professor of Meteorology at M.I.T., member, the National Research Council Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate, says global warming alarmists "are trumpeting catastrophes that couldn't happen even if the models were right."
Dr. Habibullo Abdussamatov—head of the space research laboratory of the Russian Academy of Science's Pulkovo Observatory and of the International Space Station's Astrometria project says "the common view that man's industrial activity is a deciding factor in global warming has emerged from a misinterpretation of cause and effect relations."
Dr. Richard Tol—Principal researcher at the Institute for Environmental Studies at Vrije Universiteit, and Adjunct Professor at the Center for Integrated Study of the Human Dimensions of Global Change, at Carnegie Mellon University, calls the most influential global warming report of all time "preposterous . . . alarmist and incompetent."
Dr. Sami Solanki—director and scientific member at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Germany, who argues that changes in the Sun's state, not human activity, may be the principal cause of global warming: "The sun has been at its strongest over the past 60 years and may now be affecting global temperatures."
Prof. Freeman Dyson—one of the world's most eminent physicists says the models used to justify global warming alarmism are "full of fudge factors" and "do not begin to describe the real world."
Dr. Eigils Friis-Christensen—director of the Danish National Space Centre, vice-president of the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy, who argues that changes in the Sun's behavior could account for most of the warming attributed by the UN to man-made CO2.
And many more, all in Lawrence Solomon's devastating new book, The Deniers.

Have you heard what Ann Coulter, Dr. Dobson, Mike Huckabee, Janet Parshall and others are saying about Rev. Donald E. Wildmon’s new book Speechless: Silencing the Christians?
"For as long as I can remember, liberals have been running around in a state of indignation, shouting that the government is being taken over by a dangerous band of religious fanatics who want to abolish the First Amendment, establish a national religion, force their bizarre sexual morality on children in public schools, rewrite the nation's laws to enforce their personal moral preferences, and punish anyone who dissents from their views.
Unfortunately, it's all true. That's precisely what liberals are trying to do." -Ann Coulter, from the Foreword to Speechless
Christians are being silenced all across America: in political debate, in the public square, in the school, the workplace, even in their own churches. Claiming they only want "tolerance," a coalition of liberal secularists, homosexual activists, and Fortune 500 companies has waged war for years on Christians. In fact, they want Christianity itself to be redefined as a form of bigotry. I know, it sounds crazy. But it's not. It's all too real. Don't believe me? Well, did you know:
- Christian churches are being ordered by the government to perform gay marriages, despite the fact that such ceremonies violate their core teachings?
- Christians have been threatened with prison for exercising their First Amendment right to protest?
- So-called anti-bullying programs actually explicitly promote homosexuality in public schools?
- Proposed federal laws would make discrimination against Christians the law, and make Christian charities, including child adoption services, illegal?
- Christians throughout America are being harrassed and intimidated and discriminated against by individuals, corporations, even the federal government?
Most Americans have never heard these stories. The mainstream media doesn’t report discrimination against Christians. But Rev. Donald E. Wildmon, founder and president of the American Family Association, is taking on these Christian bashers.
You can order Speechless: Silencing the Christians today, even before the bookstores get it.
Speechless is more than just a litany of horror stories. It answers the most important question:Why are they doing it? Why is this coalition working so hard to silence the Christians in America? Three reasons: Money, Sex, and Power.
Power? how much easier democracy would be, from their point of view, if the views of religious Americans could be safely ignored as ignorant and bigoted. Imagine if Christians could be pushed out of the political process altogether. The strongest voice of opposition to their political aims would be gone. Rev. Wildmon has seen this from the beginning. He knows through first hand experience the battle parents face today teaching their families traditional moral values. And he and his organization have fought tooth and nail to preserve the right of Christians through America to voice their beliefs and bring their opinions to the public square.
Money? The legal vice industry in this country, including not just Hollywood and the media, but huge Fortune 500 companies you would never suspect, makes hundreds of billions, even trillions a year. Christian voters and citizens are their biggest foes, and they want those foes silenced.
Sex? The leadership of the homosexual movement and their allies in the ACLU know that whoever controls the classroom controls the future. All over the country they are pushing programs in public schools that teach Christianity is bigotry, and homosexuality is to be embraced as normal, the equivalent of married love.
Read what some great Christian leaders have to say about Don Wildmon:
"There are few Christian leaders on the national scene who have done more to advance the cause of righteousness and defend biblical truth than Don Wildmon. For more than thirty years, he has been a voice crying in the wilderness, confronting immorality and speaking the truth when others are unwilling to do so. Every American who espouses a biblical worldview owes Don a debt of gratitude, and I am honored to call him my friend."
-James C. Dobson Ph.D. chairman and founder, Focus on the Family
"In every war, there are generals who make history by staying true to the principles that lead to victory. Don Wildmon is just such a man. For years, he has battled to protect religious liberties, even when others have tried to render us speechless. Within the pages of this book, you will discover that we are a nation at war. Now is not the time for cowardice. Now is the time to let our voices be heard."
-Janet Parshall, nationally syndicated talk show host
"In my thirty years of knowing Rev. Wildmon, I've realized that he cares not if he pleases any earthly power because he is on a mission not governed by those earthly powers. That's why I singled him out in my recent book Do the Right Thing as one of the national leaders who is driven by principles and not by politics."
-Mike Huckabee
This book exposes the tactics of the Christian Bashers so that you can spot them if they occur in your backyard. It identifies the major players, so you know the powers acting against your own interests. And finally, it offers advice to Christians on how they can fight back. It's essential reading for anyone who cares about the future of Christians in this country.
In the words of Ann Coulter: "Rev. Wildmon saw earlier than anyone I can think of that the sexual revolution and the secular assault on Christianity were one and the same thing. "Don Wildmon, a true American hero, has been shining that light for decades. From very beginning he saw the slippery slope that led us from Hugh Hefner to Heather Has Two Mommies. So read this book and then pass it on. Help shine the light. Don't be silenced. Don't be Speechless."
You heard the lady. Order the book now.

"He's fearless"
-Gen. David Petraeus
"His readers have learned what most Americans would not know from NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS and NPR"
-Former New York Times foreign correspondent Clifford May
"Michael Yon's voice is the voice of the soldier-mission focused and battle-hardened."
-Brian Williams, Anchor NBC Nightly News
"vivid...shocking and mesmerizing"
-The Boston Herald
"goes down the back alleys and the bad roads"
Joe Galloway, author of We were soldiers once...and young
Never underestimate the American soldier
That's the moral of former Green Beret Michael Yon's brilliant battle-by-battle, block-by-block tale of how America's new ‘greatest generation' is turning defeat and disaster into victory and hope in Iraq
The American soldier is the reason General David Petraeus's brilliant strategy of moving our soldiers off isolated bases and out among the Iraqi people is working. Working to find and kill terrorists, reclaim neighborhoods, and help lead Iraq to democracy.
Iraqis respect strength. They saw that American soldiers are "great-hearted warriors" who rejoice in killing the Al Qaeda terror gangs that took over whole cities, "raped too many women and boys, cut off too many heads, brought drugs into too many neighborhoods."
But Iraqis also discovered that these great warriors are even happier helping rebuild a clinic or a school or a neighborhood. They learned from the American soldier that the most dangerous man in the world, could be the best man too.
Moment of Truth in Iraq is packed with Yon's trademark exciting and often heart-rending tales from the battlefield:
- The American commander fed up with phony Al Qaeda ‘documentaries' that showed terrorists shooting at bombed out American vehicles as if they had beaten us in open battle. The commander and his men staged the "bombing" of a broken down truck. The when the terrorists came to put on their act Navy SEAL snipers killed every one.
- Follow to the exploits of the great "Deuce Four" battalion that became the center of a "warrior cult" dreaded by terrorists and revered by Iraqis.
- Think Iraqi soldiers can't fight? Read the story of an elite Iraqi SWAT team taking down a terror cell for the murder of four American soldiers and a brave Iraqi guide.
- Think Americans are occupiers, not liberators, of Iraq? Tell that to the wounded Iraqi interpreter, who, convinced he was about to die, begged his U.S. commander to have his heart cut out and buried in America.
- Learn why so many Iraqi boys dream of becoming American soldiers.
- Why our greatest ally in this war is "a citizen with a cell phone who believes the future belongs to the people killing the terrorists."
Brutalized by Saddam for decades, Iraqis hungered for strength entwined with justice and tempered by mercy. The American soldier delivered.
We are winning the war in Iraq, not primarily with our overwhelming technology, not with shock and awe destruction, but with the even more powerful force of American values-with the courage and leadership, strength and compassion of soldiers who know both how to kill the bad guy and comfort the child.
Here is the true, untold story of the American soldier and the courage and values that are bringing victory for America-and Iraq.
About the Author
Former Green Beret Michael Yon is hands down the best and most exciting battlefield reporter working today, internationally renowned for his dispatches and photos seen by millions around the world. Yon, who has spent more time embedded with US combat forces in Iraq than any journalist in the world, is totally independent and has never been co-opted by Left or Right, Military or Media.
When US blunders sent Iraq spiraling into civil war Yon told the story earlier and better than anyone. His blunt reporting so angered some of the brass that twice the U.S. military denied him access to Iraq, and twice again threatened to kick him out. But neither does Yon hesitate to call a terrorist a terrorist, and he has no doubt that American defeat would be a disaster not only for us but the Iraqi people.
Our fighting soldiers and officers know Mike Yon stands with them. Result: No other reporter can match Yon's sources. Our soldiers point him to the hottest spots and most important stories when other less trusted journalists are left behind. |
