The authors compellingly illuminate the other side of the story, the science we aren't being told. That bias is then communicated through the media, who focus on only extreme predictions. explain why the news and information we receive about global warming have become so apocalyptic. Is the weather truly getting worse? When it comes to global warming, dire predictions seem to be all we see or hear.

"A moderate book filled with relevant information" according to Lubos Motl. It is a very nice book that is crowded with graphs and information.At the beginning, Michaels announces that he will have to leave his school in June 2009 because the current conditions don't allow him to keep both his scientific integrity and the funding.
