New Book Turns the Debate on Global Warming

The scientific debate surrounding climate change is far from settled. In "Climate Con?: History and Science of the Global Warming Scare" (published by AuthorHouse), Dr. William B. Innes addresses questions central to the debate, including who is behind the global warming scare and what are their motivations; what is responsible for past short and long-term climate swings; and how do current and projected carbon dioxide levels compare to earlier times in earth's history.

"Climate Con?" provides a thoughtful and thought-provoking review of the scientific and popular literature on one of the most pressing issues of the modern world. Recommended by the National Center for Public Policy Research, the book navigates through the jungle of talking points and shallow debates to present hard-hitting questions aimed to place the reader on the path towards truly understand what lies ahead.

"Everyone is interested in climate," shares Innes. "Most people now think that there are too many irrational regulations and would favor a modest warming. Although "Climate Con?" is primarily a science book, non-scientists should find it interesting and educational."

About the Author
William B. Innes, Ph.D., is a retired physical chemist. He spent the majority of his career working for American Cyanamid in Stamford, Conn., where he helped develop one of the first catalysts for use in automobile catalytic converters. After leaving American Cyanamid, he relocated to Southern California, where he developed instruments for analyzing auto exhaust for pollutants. In the context of this latter work, he became active in the public policy debate surrounding setting of automobile emission standards in California. This foray into the use and misuse of science by environmental groups and policy makers led Innes into his investigation of the global warming debate, where he delved into the process by which the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessed the risks and causes of climate change. "Climate Con?" represents the outcome of these investigations and is Innes' first book on this topic.
