O knihe
This unique book traces the history of climate change through published accounts dating back hundreds of years. It's like readers have subscriptions to old newspapers and are reading their predecessors' concerns firsthand. The author traces the thoughts and actions of "climate changers" from the Roman and Greek eras and presents eleven inane, outrageously costly schemes that they have proposed over the years, e.g., placing an umbrella over the Sphinx, diverting the Gulf Stream to warm the climate of Eastern Canada, or heating Chicago with underground pipes. He warns that taxpayers can expect more of the same types of costly and unnecessary schemes from contemporary climate changers in the near future. Ultimately, readers are left to decide for themselves if climate change is the most serious challenge of our generation that politicians and scientists claim it is. (Spoiler alert: it isn't.) Simply put, history trumps science in the climate change debate.
