The Great Global Warming Swindle

Presentation by Aaron Maisto and John Hall The Novel: State of Fear A science fiction thriller. Involves an eco-terrorist plot to keep the public in a ?state of fear? regarding global warming, which involves both subtle manipulation of data and more diabolical schemes such as creating artificial tsunamis. Although much of the book is clearly fictional, it does include data and observations from real scientists. Critiques and Commentary The novel received strong criticism from leading climate scientists, science journalists, and environmental groups for inaccuracies and misleading information. Sixteen of 18 top U.S. climate scientists interviewed by Knight Ridder said that the Harvard-trained author is bending scientific data and distorting research.
