Purchase options and add-ons

Shattered Consensus: The True State of Global Warming should be required reading for any serious student of the issue of climate change. Edited and introduced by iconoclastic climatologist Patrick J. Michaels, Shattered Consensus demonstrates the remarkable disparities between so-called consensus documents on global warming, such as the reports of the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and climate reality.

Shattered Consensus consists of nine expert essays on global warming, covering the earth's temperature history and disparities between what has been predicted about climate change and what has actually been observed. The reader will discover substantial disconnections and new information not generally discussed in mainstream reports about climate science. For example, the oft-quoted statement that recent years are the warmest of the last millennium is now in serious doubt. Temperature changes observed through the atmosphere (not just at the surface) are clearly different than what has been projected to occur. Disparities between observed precipitation and the simulations of computer models can be several hundred percent.

Shattered Consensus will surely shatter commonly-held opinions about global warming and leave the reader with serious questions about whether or not policies to "fight" climate change are warranted at all.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Shattered Consensus: The True State of Global Warming convincingly demonstrates the remarkable differences between what we commonly read about global warming and what is really happening. ... Anyone who reads this book will come away with a new appreciation of the complexity of the climate issue and will question the need for expensive policies that are likely to have little or no detectable effect on the planet's temperature. ― Science Daily

Eleven essayists skillfully contradict and disassemble many false assumptions within the science of global warming as well as methodology used to warn world governments of catastrophic futures. Recommended. ― Choice Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars IMHO… a GREAT read!

This book is definitely not for everyone. It presents, through scientific papers, a contrary view on climate change. If you want to read something that will make you wonder, take the time to read this. It is a bit challenging since there is a lot of science in here but if you take your time, you can understand it. ENJOY!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite a Collection
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2006

This is a collection of information on many different aspects of the Global Warming situation. There were chapters that made my blood boil with excitement, and this is nonfiction! I took this book along on a cruise and alternated the chapters with fiction, but each chapter is interesting in its own way. I am now retired, but for many years I was an Earth Science teacher using a video titled, The Greenhouse Conspiracy. That was quite a film, but it is a bit dated and I was wondering if things had changed. Shattered Consensus says no, things haven't changed since that movie was made.

Another in a great line of real science verse spin/propaganda etc relating to global warming, sorry..the new term is "climate change" and for good reason.LOL
Remember the predictions for some of the "experts" to start calling the cooling trends, as , "masking the upcoming heating trends".
Its started in the UK yesterday.
I note the new temp game is adding cities temp+global ocean WITHOUT the argosy buoys temp.
There was a reason for that...Ha
Nice trick..this book will help you think.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sample of Scientific Discussions
Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2007
Interesting series of papers on topics of ongoing discussion regarding global warming. The title is a bit overblown, but I guess it matches the assumption, so often printed over and over in the media, that there is a consensus on global warming (or more correctly, human-caused global warming). There's lots of citations given and places to dig into this as deep as you want. I particularly like the part about trying to develop some sort of heat balance between the earth's surface, the various layers in the atmosphere, and the universe to which the earth radiates heat, and all the unexplained measurement error and missing information associated with that.

There was allusion to the plans to try to "Command and Control" the world's economy, based on averting global warming, basically concluding that nothing we can do will change the outcome much anyway, at least in any predictable way. It makes one wonder if the global warming phenomena is being used as a pretext to try "Command and Control" again. This book does not really get into that, but does give a taste of endless unresolved topics associated with global warming.

This book is technical but certainly gives one a clear view of the other side of the controversy about global warming. I recommend this book to anyone with an open mind and wants to understand the opposite position on the subject.
