Michaels (environmental studies, University of Virginia) argues that scientists, politicians, and the media too often exaggerate their claims about the environment, especially with regard to global warming. He documents hundreds of exaggerations, misstatements, and errors that have appeared in major peer-reviewed scientific journals and in top media outlets, and explains why the gap between perception and reality persists. A section of color graphics is included.
An eminently readable and often humorous critique, Meltdown documents hundreds of exaggerations from scientists, politicians and the media, and ties them together with the common thread of rational self-interest.
Patrick J. Michaels is research professor of environmental studies at the University of Virginia and senior fellow in environmental studies at the Cato Institute. He is past president of the American Association of State Climatologists, winner of the American Library Association's worldwide competition for public service writing, and an author of the 2003 climate science "Paper of the Year," awarded by the Association of American Geographers.
