The Climate Fix

What Scientists and Politicians Won't Tell You About Global Warming

by Roger Pielke Jr. ...

Why has the world been unable to address global warming? Science policy expert Roger Pielke, Jr., says it's not the fault of those who reject the Kyoto Protocol, but those who support it, and the magical thinking that the agreement represents. In The Climate Fix, Pielke offers a way to repair climate policy, shifting the debate away from meaningless targets and toward a revolution in how the world ... Read more

Chill, A Reassessment of Global Warming Theory

Does Climate Change Mean the World is Cooling, and If So What Should We Do About It?

by Peter Taylor ...

Although the world's climate has undergone many cyclical changes, the phrase 'climate change' has taken on a sinister meaning, implying catastrophe for humanity, ecology and the environment. We are told that we are responsible for this threat, and that we should act immediately to prevent it. But the apparent scientific consensus over the causes and effects of climate change is not what it appears ... Read more
