The Hockey Stick Illusion: new climategate book hits the street
The hockey stick is the sacred symbol of the global warming movement. Now, you can get in-depth debunking of it and other climategate falsities in the new book, The Hockey Stick Illusion: Climategate and the Corruption of Science by Andrew Montford. Harmless Sky describes it like this:
Andrew Montford has a fascinating tale to tell involving larger than life characters, diligent searchers for truth, meticulous detective work, dirty tricks and character assassination, accusations of fraud, possible malpractice in high places, powerful vested interests and all of this played out against a background of moral indignation and high stakes politics. It’s a gift of a story and I’m delighted that it is now going to be told by someone who has a gift for explaining complex scientific issues clearly and in a way that is accessible to all. I am also glad that Andrew has been able to incorporate the extraordinary revelations in the Climategate emails into his manuscript at the last moment.
University of Sotckholm’s Professor of Geography (Emertius), Wibjörn Karlén, says:
Although the science is not always straightforward, Andrew W. Montford manages to make the story both exciting and accessible to the reader. He uses the Hockey Stick as an example of how manipulation of data and publication routines can change the whole world’s view of an important subject. The story is told in such a fascinating way that it is hard to take ones eyes from the page.
And University of Colorado’s Professor of Environmental Studies, Roger Pielke Jr, offers:
For anyone wanting to understand the mind-boggling complexities of the debate over the ‘Hockey Stick’ I’ve seen no single better reference than the engaging narrative by Andrew Montford. While not the last word on the Hockey Stick, Montford’s recounting leads to some unsettling conclusions about the integrity of a very visible part of the paleoclimate research community.
The book is available from Amazon UK. We have not yet seen it in the US Amazon store.
