Yes, that is what the book is about. He isn't criticizing
"alternate" scientific hypotheses that explain the current rate of
climate change, his book is about a campaign of consciously teaching
the controversy.
Furthermore, he ignores the very same tactics and techniques by
climate alarmists to cry wolf about
global arming.
Forgetting for a moment, of course, that "climate alarmists" have
scientific consensus on their side, right? If there is such a "very
same" campaign for the side of science, please elucidate.
