Book Review: Intensive documentation of apocalyptic scams
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is overflowing with heavily footnoted evidence that
we are being bamboozled by a few groups of zealots out to
change the political landscape, even if it means fudging the
truth a little here or there. The text is sometimes hard
to follow, but only because he throws so many facts at the
unsupported arguments of scientists and pseudo-scientists,
and especially at scientists operating outside their fields.
Butterfly scientist Paul Ehrlich and his wife show up several
times, first bemoaning the man-made return of the ice age,
then warning us about global warming with equal gravity. Bailey
not only shows the illegitimacy of the science used by these
apocalyptics, but he exposes their motives as well. This book
is an invaluable resource for anyone wishing to ask, "Are you
sure? How do we know? Are there no other alternatives?" when
confronted with the bewildering plethora of supposedly man-made
disasters.
