For the past 18 months, National Post journalist Lawrence Solomon has been profiling scientists who disagree with the UN panel’s position on climate change.

His series, which now runs some 40 columns, describes many of the world’s most prominent scientists. They include authors or reviewers for the UN panel (before they quit in disgust). They even include the scientist known as the father of scientific climatology, Reid Bryson, who is recognized as being the most cited climatologist in the world and a sainted environmentalist, who responds to a question about Gore’s movie: "Don’t make me throw up."

Mr. Solomon has now written a book entitled "The Deniers." It is evident that Mr. Solomon has great respect for the 30-plus scientists he has interviewed. There is little doubt that man’s role in global warming is not settled science.

Satellite-mounted microwave sounding units have not shown a record of warming since initiated in 1979. It is a matter of record that the mean annual number and intensity of severe hurricanes shows no change in 100 years, while tropical cyclones and typhoons have actually fallen in number.

George Gilder of HealthStatus.com, on April 7 wrote: "The book (The Deniers) is fascinating and even profound on the flaws of computer modelling, the irrelevance of consensus to science, the crippling effects of excessive specialization, and the mounting evidence of a coming cooling trend."

I believe every literate person in the world should read the 40 columns of Mr. Solomon that are posted on http://www.urban-renaissance.org/urbanren/index.cfm
