From a review of the Christopher Essex/Ross McKitrick book "Taken By Storm"


Amazon.com: Taken By Storm: Christopher Essex, Ross McKitrick: Books
Mr. Essex and Mr. McKitrick have written a very impressive critique of the faulty science and pseudoscience behind the global warming theory. Particularly impressive is their explanation of the faulty modeling of the climate by the U.N. working committees. The book demonstrates how the collection of average temperatures is no way to model the climate whose relationships are nonlinear and are in constant disequilibrium. The authors demonstrate the uselessness of the U.N. climate models better than anyone else I have read. The authors to their great credit also expose many of the propaganda devices of the establishment and environmentalist proponents of controlling global warming. Way too many of the media, government and establishment information outlets are controlled by people who uncritically support the global warming hypothesis.

Interesting to read the readers' comments at amazon.com. There is a particularly vitriolic contribution from a Christopher Barrington-Leigh. A quick scout around on the web turns up these two gems from his website, http://cpbl.freeshell.org/politics.html

First, there's his page entitled "Some events in the year since September 11, 2001" in which he rants on about "the United States, the quintessential rogue state..."

Then, there is the page on which he keeps copies of his letters (!!).

Read the one written to EXXON-Mobil in which he has another shot at Fred Singer!

I think you may conclude that his amazon.com contribution was not an unbiased, subjective, scientific critique.
