Followup on "A Major New Global Warming Book"

On March 27, I posted about A Major New Global Warming Book, The Deniers: The World Renowned Scientists Who Stood Up Against Global Warming Hysteria, Political Persecution, and Fraud**And those who are too fearful to do so, by Lawrence Solomon.

A week ago, Mr. Solomon wrote an article in the Canadian National Post entitled "Why I wrote Deniers". It's a must-read for anyone interested in the man-made global warming question, which should mean any reasonably intelligent person.

His article begins like this:
Global warming has become a question for citizens, and not only scientists. Citizens must decide how serious the threat is and what to do about it, which cures make sense, and which might be worse than the disease. Alas, the answers to these questions depend on scientific issues of fierce complexity that few laymen are capable of confronting directly. So what are we to do?

Regardless of your position on the question of global warming, you'll come away from reading this article with new insights, and an appreciation for the invaluable service Mr. Solomon has performed by writing this book.
