"In this well-informed and hard-hitting response to the scaremongering of the climate alarmists, Nigel Lawson, former Chancellor of the Exchequer and Secretary of State for Energy, argues that it is time for us to take a cool look at global warming. Lawson carefully and succinctly examines all aspects of the global warming issue: the science, the economics, the politics, and the ethics. He concludes that, contrary to the deeply-flawed Stern Review, the conventional wisdom on the subject is suspect on a number of grounds; that global warming is not the devastating threat to the planet it is widely alleged to be; and that the remedy that is currently being proposed, which is in any event politically unattainable, would be worse than the threat it is supposed to avert. All this is argued with logic, common sense, and even wit, and thoroughly sourced and referenced."--BOOK JACKET.Lawson, Nigel is the author of 'Appeal to Reason', published 2008 under ISBN 9781590200841 and ISBN 1590200845.
