Michaels (environmental sciences, U. of Virginia) and Balling (climatology, Arizona State U.) argue that discussion about global warming has been driven by an unwarranted hysteria. They contend that the global temperature data keeps getting revised to show more global warming than the time before. They then offer chapters in which they seek to debunk the idea that hurricanes are stronger because of global warming, that Greenland and Antarctica are in danger of massive ice loss, and that the deaths from heat waves in Europe in 2003 are signs of a problem beyond technological and political fix. Finally, they present a theory of publication bias, which explains why the scientific literature is skewed towards gloomy scenarios and propose solutions, such as stripping peer reviewers of anonymity.
