The Anthropogenic Global Warminging scam thoroughly exposed and debunked.
By marchesarosa on 17 Jan. 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
The Anthropogenic Global Warminging scam thoroughly exposed and debunked by a brilliant and lucid writer. I would recommend this to anyone. The logic of the revelations is unimpeachable. I sent a copy to my MP, Hilary Benn, who was Sec of State for the Environment in the last Labour Government, in the hope that the arguments deployed might penetrate the moralistic fug that clogs the brain of the pathologically altruistic promoters of what is the greatest scientific scam ever.

"A failure of honesty, a failure of diligence, a failure of integrity"
By J. Stabler on 20 Dec. 2012
Format: Paperback
A photograph of Andrew Montford on the back of the book suggests an amiable cove, but don't be misled. He's a terrier who pursues his prey relentlessly, and once his teeth are into his quarry he doesn't let go.

As an interested amateur I found his book was not an easy read. Following the ramifications of the emails between the protagonists it is easy to get lost in the welter of skulduggery and malfeasance. However what one loses in some of the detail is subsumed in the general impression of the corruption of science by those in the orthodox climatology community.

However I think that what is most astonishing about this book is not the corruption of science which it reveals but its exposure of the abysmal failure of those appointed to investigate the suspicion of that corruption. The three committees charged with this task (those chaired by Sir Muir Russell and Lord Oxburgh and the Government's Science & Technology Committee) failed so comprehensively to look at many of the most basic problems that one wonders how they can have any credibility at all. Compared with the rigour with which Montford has explored the issues their efforts appear positively infantile, and one is left with the impression that their main priority was not to rock the boat of the establishment view on anthropogenic global warming.

One of the most interesting aspects of the book is the revelation that as soon as Montford was known to be working on a critique of the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit for the Global Warming Policy Foundation he and his colleague Benny Peiser were subjected to a crude smear campaign by The Times and The Guardian.

What would be really interesting would be to read a review of this book by an establishment climatologist. I don't suppose we'll get one because their only possible response is to ignore it, as with Montford's last book, The Hockey Stick Illusion.

Well written, interesting and a very important book
By RB on 11 April 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
A very informative book which is quite an easy read, despite being packed with information as a book such as this will always have to be. The author's writing style is concise and clear, stating relevant information in an easy to understand way.

It is good that people such as A. W. Montfort spend so much time, effort and energy unravelling webs of deceit such as described in the pages of this book. Without this information being brought to light, so many of the fallacies and instances of outright deceit would never have been brought to wider attention. What this book reveals is nothing short of an absolute scandal, how supposedly respectable, (publicly very well funded), organisations such as the UEA and CRU can be allowed to distort facts at will to suit their own agendas. The first book I read by this author, 'The Hockey Stick Illusion', was equally gripping in the way it told the story of that infamous 'fictional' graph of temperatures over the last 1000 years. This book follows on well from the story recounted there, bringing the things up to date so to speak.

I would definately recommend this book to anyone who is genuinely concerned about a lot of the hyped up stories regularly told in the mainstream media. Once you can see just how unreliable these so called respectable organisation are, (including the disgracefull IPCC), you begin to realise just what a wasteful scam so many people are being made fools of by, especially our political leaders.

a forensic examination
By Stephen on 30 Nov. 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is a forensic examination of what happened after the Climategate e-mails went public in late 2009, and in particular of the three main inquiries that were conducted: two at the behest of the University of East Anglia, chaired respectively by Lord Oxburgh and Sir Muir Russell, and one by the House of Commons Science Select Committee. There is also reference to an inquiry by Penn State University into some of Michael Mann's activities, and to a second review of the issue by the Select Committee. But the main focus is on Russell and Oxburgh.

What emerges is a curious mixture of incompetence and wilful ignoring of some important issues. The University of East Anglia clearly decided early on to defend one of its most prolific and high-profile research units, and set up its inquiries accordingly. The Select Committee simply seems to have been out of its depth, although I don't think it was reasonable for lay people to apply the same rigour as a person close to the issues such as this author. And he does rather labour some not very material points.

One thing that doesn't come across is that although Jones, Briffa, Mann and co escaped without obvious penalty from the inquiries, it was pretty clear to any discerning observer that the inquiries had not been much good. This even found its way into some of the newspaper accounts (by the likes of Fred Pearce), some of which are quoted here. It's good to have this on record, but I did not feel that it was quite such an eye-opener as The Hockey Stick Illusion.
