Roy W. Spencer, a former senior NASA climatologist, reveals how climate researchers have mistaken cause and effect when analyzing cloud behavior and have been duped by Mother Nature into believing the Earths climate system is far more sensitive to human activities and carbon dioxide than it really is.In fact, Spencer presents astonishing new evidence that recent warming is not the fault of humans, but the result of chaotic, internal natural cycles that have been causing periods of warming and cooling for millennia. More carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is not necessarily to be feared;The Great Global Warming Blunder explains that burning of fossil fuels may actually be beneficial for life on Earth.As group-think behavior and misguided global warming policy proposals threaten the lives of millions of the worlds poorest, most vulnerable citizens,The Great Global Warming Blunder is a scintillating exposeÌ and much-needed call for debate. 941 $a 1 952 $l UXAX826 $d 20150509025810.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=349F9D2AD67611E39C1DE47CDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
