Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This writer has done his homework
Review: This book is accurate and a stunning piece of reporting. The man , a pulitzer prize winning journalist, has done his homework. I learned a great deal from reading it. He explains the dynamics of the market place and why it is so dang hard to get anything done to benefit humanity. The writing is well done,highly documented, readable, informational and he lays out the problem and possible solutions with a clarity befitting his reputation. Read this book now and learn. Thanks.I'm telling everyone I know about this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exposes the men behind the curtain
Review: This book is on par with Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring". It methodically uncovers the fossil fuel industry's attempts to misinform the greater American public about the critical nature of global warming.

Any good investigative journalist or private investigator would respect and admire the work of the author.

A definite eye opener.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent book!
Review: This problem is probably the most important one facing humanity today, and here it is explained clearly and objectively. My only complaint is that there is no list of resources - a "things you can do" appendix of web sites, agencies, and so forth. Read the book. Change the planet for the better.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Journalistic bombast
Review: This volume is a great example of advocacy journalism. The writer sets out with a point of view and then demonstrates it while barely acknowledging that there is an opposing case to be heard. Virtually without redeeming value.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Solution
Review: To those of you "alarmed" by global warming: how do you feel about nuclear power? If you still don't like nuclear power, how sincere is your concern about global warming?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Inaccurate and Politically Motivated
Review: With a PhD in atmospheric optics and 25+ years developing atmospheric models, I know something about the subject. The author Gelbspan has zero credibility. The book is full of distortions, data and information taken out of context, and incorrect interpretation of the physics, measurements, and the processing algorithms. Gelbspan has become the laughing stock of credible organizations such as NASA-Langley (Aerosol Research Group) and NOAA-Boulder/Mauna Loa (Lidar Group).
