You can read the full report in the PDF file here : http://www.ippr.org/ecomm/files/warm_words.pdf > Lean and Pearce (the authors of the Amazon article) are responsible for > some of the most extreme stuff in the UK press (ie the Independent). Lean and Pearce are respected science journalists, with Fred Pearce being better known for his contributions to the New Scientist. On the other hand, Ereaut and Segint, the authors of the report, are a market researcher and novelist respectively. See page 4. On page 13 there is a picture showing alarmism. The alamists include James Lovelock FRS, and the president of the Royal Society Lord May. On page 17 a picture puts the other side of the case from Singer, Lindzen, and Stott. Need I say more!
