Is it likely this non-scientist would find gaps in the science itself, such that he could discredit the various different indicators? I wouldn't think so, but it might be important to keep an open mind. <br /><br />I have seen one or two books in the library that seem to try to explain climate change, and one or two articles in the "Skeptical Inquirer" that do the same. It would be fine if someone wanted to publish a book questioning Climate Science, and used maybe the one of the IPCC reports as the template to criticize. But what is crucial for Goreham in this effort is his bibliography. Since he is a non-scientist, if he is going to criticize scientists, he needs to show peer reviewed scientific papers that support his conclusions. Unless he does that, then his book is itself a scam perpetrated on the American people.EdHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09109361235271107574noreply@blogger.com
