Product Description
This 880-page rebuttal of the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), three years in the making, was released in June 2009 by The Heartland Institute. Coauthored and edited by S. Fred Singer, Ph.D., and Craig Idso, Ph.D., the report is a comprehensive rebuttal of the Working Group I contribution to the Fourth Assessment Report (2007) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The report, produced with contributions and reviews by an international coalition of scientists, provides an independent examination of the evidence available on the causes and consequences of climate change in the published, peer-reviewed literature examined without bias and selectivity. It includes many research papers ignored by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), plus additional scientific results that became available after the IPCC deadline of May 2006. |

Excellent by Raquel Lacomba Walker (USA)  5 Stars

Rebuttal to global warming alarmists by The Old Galoot (Pittsburgh, PA) 5 Stars
November 08, 2009
This compendium arms one with all the up-to-date information needed to show, unequivocally, that global warming and cooling are natural, solar-driven processes that occur over millenial time scales, independent of human activity. Omissions, inaccuracies and distortions in the IPCC reports are catalogued and refuted. This is an excellent resource for anyone seeking to explore and understand the science behind the natural climate cycles that the planet experiences.

A scholarly book by Nasif Nahle Sabag (Monterrey, Mexico) 5 Stars
October 28, 2009
About nine years ago I blindly believed in the anthropogenic global warming idea. It was then that I was invited to a TV debate on global warming and I went deeper on this issue, trying to find information about the thermal properties of the carbon dioxide. This way, I realized that everything which I was ready to say before millions of spectators, which I have taken from the IPCC reports, was not true. If I only would have had this helpful book, written by honest scientists who really know about the science of climate, things would have been easier.

Cogent reference book by John A. Love 5 Stars
October 14, 2009
As a long time student of the debate about anthropogenic warming, I recognise many of the authors and much of the material in the parts of the book I've read to date. It is not light reading but is clearly a valuable reference source. It adds to the evidence that "man made global warming" is a grand and brutally expensive hoax.

Everything you ever wanted to know about global warming by Felicia T. 5 Stars
August 12, 2009
Have you ever wondered where you can find the most authoritative, comprehensive summary of global warming and the science of climate change? Scientists Craig Idso and S. Fred Singer have ended your search by producing Climate Change Reconsidered: The 2009 Report of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC).
Climate Change Reconsidered provides more than 800 pages of in-depth scientific discussion on just about every global warming-related topic imaginable. With literally hundreds of citations to peer-reviewed scientific literature, Idso and Singer document and explain how the best, most up-to-date science refutes the assertion that humans are creating a global warming crisis.
In Chapter One, Idso and Singer demonstrate how computer models have spectacularly failed to reproduce current climate conditions. The authors explain the multitude of factors--many of which are very poorly understood--that can significantly influence current and future climate. Climate modelers, whose jobs and funding are directly dependent on the existence of a perceived global warming crisis, invariably determine that each of these poorly understood factors will lead to more rather than less warming in the future, such that climate models are predisposed to predict more warming than is reasonably likely to occur. Chapter One provides extensive scientific documentation of the warming bias of these flawed computer models.
Subsequent chapters discuss climate feedback factors, historical temperature records, glaciers, polar ice, precipitation, sea level, solar variability, extreme weather events, global warming's impact on the biosphere, and human health implications of global warming. The highlights are summarized in an eight-page, easy-to-read executive summary.
One of the greatest benefits of owning this book is having on-demand access to a comprehensive assessment of just about any alleged global warming scare imaginable. For example, the next time an evening news story sends your spouse into conniptions regarding the plight of polar bears, you can quickly thumb to Section 8.4 of Climate Change Reconsidered and reassuringly note that polar sea ice is showing little or no sign of shrinkage due to human activity, polar bears survived extended periods of much warmer temperatures than today, most polar bear populations are growing rather than shrinking, and predictions of future population decline are dependent on heavily flawed computer models.
Idso and Singer provide citations to more than 100 scientific studies supporting the conclusion that human emissions of carbon dioxide are not threatening polar bear populations. Supporting the science presented by Idso and Singer, an additional 35 scientists from more than a dozen countries participated as contributors and reviewers of Climate Change Reconsidered.
The book also describes the Petition Project, in which more than 31,000 scientists have signed a petition stating there is no convincing scientific evidence that human emissions of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases are causing a global warming crisis. Climate Change Reconsidered provides the names of all 31,478 scientists, as well as a concise, 12-page summary of the science that accompanies the petition.
Regardless of where you stand in the ongoing global warming debate, Climate Change Reconsidered is an indispensable resource, providing the most authoritative science on every aspect of the issue. For those who are skeptical toward over-the-top global warming claims, Climate Change Reconsidered provides the scientific studies and data that support the realist point of view.
For those who believe humans are causing a global warming crisis, such a position is untenable unless they are aware of, and capable of rebutting, the enormous weight of scientific data and studies presented in this book.

| Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science
by Ian Plimer (Author)
Climate, sea level, and ice sheets have always changed, and the changes observed today are less than those of the past. Climate changes are cyclical and are driven by the Earth's position in the galaxy, the sun, wobbles in the Earth's orbit, ocean currents, and plate tectonics. In previous times, atmospheric carbon dioxide was far higher than at present but did not drive climate change. No runaway greenhouse effect or acid oceans occurred during times of excessively high carbon dioxide. During...

| Global Warming False Alarm: The Bad Science Behind the United Nations' Assertion that Man-made CO2 Causes Global Warming
by Ralph B. Alexander (Author)
Have you ever wondered why so many people believe recent climate change is almost entirely the result of human activity, even when there's plenty of evidence to the contrary? It's because the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says so. This compact, readable book pulls apart the flawed science behind the IPCC's assertion that man-made CO2 is causing global warming. Author Ralph Alexander exposes the IPCC's deceptive manipulation of climate data, the roadblocks for...

| Climate of Extremes: Global Warming Science They Don't Want You to Know
by Patrick J. Michaels (Author)
Is the weather truly getting worse? When it comes to global warming, dire predictions seem to be all we see or hear. Climatologists Patrick Michaels and Robert Balling Jr. explain why the news and information we receive about global warming have become so apocalyptic. The science itself has become increasingly biased, with warnings of extreme consequences from global warming becoming the norm. That bias is then communicated through the media, who focus on only extreme predictions. The authors...
