A recent blogger brought to my attention the book "The Sceptical Enviromentalist" which does acknowledge that global warming is happening but it isn't as severe as the media hypes it up to be. Although I haven't read this book yet I plan to ,I would hope those who have would read books like these would A. First of all question who funded people like these research,and B read other material that has opposing view points as well. Too many times we have a tendency to go straight to the books that will back up a philoshical presupposition or agenda that we already have or want to have, before reading something that might actually challenge that prior agenda. This is what defines good critical thought. Also earlier when I posted that global warming the blogger commented that the author of the book thinks that while right now global warming is prority #2 it should in actuality probably be prority #9 or 10. I do think #2 is high, but #9 or 10 is way too low. #4 or 5 sounds a bit right.
