Jim Lippard has left a new comment on the post "Are Climate-Change Deniers as bad as Creationists?...":
Lawrence Solomon's book is called "The Deniers" but the people in the book are not deniers of AGW.
Cf. this review:
"The problem is that Solomon's 'deniers' don't actually deny climate change. They quibble about the details.
They criticize Michael Mann's now entirely dated hockey stick graph. They argue about solar flares and snow temperatures in Antarctica.
But they all still allow -- what's the phrase? -- that observed warming is real and particularly strong in the past 20 years.
Solomon even says so. He says that while reflecting on his own research, 'I ... noticed something striking about my growing cast of deniers. None of them were deniers.' (My emphasis.)
It's hard to imagine how someone could make that concession on page 45 and then string a book out to page 213 (not counting footnotes.) It's harder still to think that he could then continue to pursue his desperate argument that a legitimate debate still exists about the central question of anthropogenic global warming."
