Interesting! and scarey. ( )

Delingpole is one of the more vocal British critics of the dangerous liaison between environmentalism and Marxism. He is prone to use the dry wit that is quintessentially British and as long as you don't let Al Gore's indoctrination get in the way of your funny bone you will probably laugh while reading this...between your crying and frustration that is.

Delinpole's prose is sufficient to hold my interest and turn pages rapidly. But after you finish this book, you sort of feel like you really have not benefitted. Brilliant at the beginning, the book becomes monotonous after some time. I havd never heard of Climate gate before reading this book and I am with Delingpole if the scientists are actually manipulating data as he claims. But Delingpole takes us down diatribe lane and lambasts his opponents. A lot of information is missing too. Like Delingpole says, wind energy is much more costly then fossil fuel enerfgy, he says that our fossil fuel reservoirs are getting replenished and than keeping mum,.He dioes not say how? A book which can teeach you a lot of things but logic and unpartisanship are not among them. ( )

this is a good read. i agree with his premise, and he argues it well, without being too preaching. i dont know if this book would appeal to someone who believes in climate warming. it is difficult to change a person's beliefs purely using reason.
to me , it really is mass hysteria to be so concerned about climate warming. it is a good thing that there is climate warming, better than climate cooling and a new ice age. i would rate this book highly.
