Book review of "Dire Predictions: Understanding Global Warming" by Michael E. Mann and Lee R. Kump. The reviewer makes this book sound like the answer to understanding the science behind the claims, as well as the solution to the problem of friends, relatives, and associates who don't understand science, and therefore believe the propaganda underwritten by Exxon-Mobil et al. Well-written, but the review would be taken more seriously if the reviewer gave his name instead of a blogger alias.

Michael Mann is the author of the propagandistic and inaccurate "hockey stick" graph that was misused by the IPCC, AL Gore and hundreds of others. It was throughly investigated and discredited by Steve McIntyre and the Wegman Report. Realclimate.org is a propagandistic site that accuses scientists who disagree of having mental problems. Read Roy Spencer's Climate Confusion to hear the other side of the argument.
