Book Review — Climate Change: Natural or Manmade? | Somewhat Reasonable

Fone’s uncovering of the scientific errors that led to and supported the mythical global warming crisis is as detailed as any you will find. The documentation of such scientific errors will be especially interesting to the scientifically trained reader. Fone provides a compelling narrative of how even Margaret Thatcher, the sharp, conservative former British prime minister, bought into the false global warming crisis.

The idea is to cool the past and warm the present, creating the ‘hockey-stick’ effect ~ the essential ingredient of the (Michael) mann-made global warming theory.
