I’m not a meteorologist or a climatologist, but I have a pretty good sense of what makes sense to me, and I paid attention in the science classes I took. If I had the credentials, I’d love to write a book on why global warming is faux science driven by the desire of science researchers to stay funded.
But I can’t prove it the way someone who has those credentials can, and fortunately, there are two new books that do the job better than I ever could, from a scientific standpoint. Unstoppable Global Warming Every 1500 Years, by physicist Fred Singer and economist Dennis Avery was released just before Christmas and exposes how much of a lie it is that human activity has anything to do with the Earth’s natural cycle of warming and cooling, warming and cooling.
The other is The Chilling Stars: A New Theory of Climate Change, by Danish physicist Henrik Svensmark and former BBC science writer Nigel Calder (Icon Books), is due out in March. The Drudge Report deserves credit for alerting Script Surgeon to this forthcoming title.
While Unstoppable Global Warming is a great book for laying out the case against man-made global warming, The Chilling Stars is the book that details the hard science of how and why our climate works this way, regardless of man’s intervention.
This is why it’s best if I stick to writing scripts. While a talented communicator can succeed in, say, Raleigh real estate, science has much higher technical demands, and requires the work of hard scientific research to be credible. The folks behind these two books certainly fit the bill.
