Rating:  Summary: There will always be an advocate for bad science Review: This work reminds me of the work of 'scientific' creationists, who write with great zeal about how science has covered up the 'proof' of Creation. One can always find a few wingnuts with Ph.Ds to boster any position; add a handful of out-of-context quotes by well-meaning scientists and a barrel of misrepresentation, and stew in one's own political convictions- voila, a 'credible' scientific case! I heartily recommend this book for those more interested in ideological positions than in the honest search for truth, or as a primer in selective use of facts and quotations to support untenable positions.
Rating:  Summary: Brilliant review not only of global warming, but society. Review: We are all sick and tired of ozone holes, global warming, asbestos catastrophies and acid rain. Here's a book that tells us the truth about all this and advises us that being sick and tired is just right.In a brilliant short volume the author takes the wraps off, analyses the truth behind the myths and shows the trail of money generated by these hoaxes. A must read.
Rating:  Summary: A Lot of Ado About Nothing Review: What a pompous, patronizing, opinionated piece of would be literature Mr. Mathiesen has given us.
I was expecting more scientific facts and was left very thirsty from it's lack of real scientific data. The work is totally amateurish, the tone conceited and boring.
Nothing really new, just a collection of clichés. Do us a favor, Mr. Mathiesen, whatever your day job is, don't give it up, and leave literature to real writers.
