Hot Talk, Cold Science: Global Warming's Unfinished Debate, Second Edition

Abstract: The scare talk of global warming is shown by cold scientific analysis to be nothing but hot air, when viewed in the context of the climate record of the past 3000 years. The proposed Global Climate Treaty, or UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC) is unsupported by scientific evidence and potentially very harmful.
