About the
Book:
"The science is settled" has become
both a mantra for political activists who believe in man-made global
warming and a club to beat down anyone who opposes their anti-industrial,
anti-capitalism agenda. But is it true? This is the question that David
Solway set out to answer in layman terms. His conclusion: the
preponderance of evidence refutes the activist's dogma. In Global
Warning: The Trials of an Unsettled Science, Solway presents the
"science" in a style suited to the average citizen who wants
nothing more than to learn the truth.
About the
Author:
David Solway is the author of many books of
poetry including Modern Marriage, which received the QSPELL Prize for
Poetry; Franklin's Passage, winner of Le Grand Prix du Livre de Montréal
and Reaching for Clear, awarded the A.M. Klein Prize for Poetry. Among
his prose publications, Education Lost won the QSPELL Prize for
Nonfiction and Random Walkswas a finalist for Le Grand Prix du Livre de
Montréal. A French translation of his writings on education, Le bon prof,
was awarded Le Prix Spirale. He has also published two volumes on
political subjects, The Big Lie: On Terror, Antisemitism, and Identity
and Hear, O Israel!.
What People
Are Saying:
"Nowhere will you find a more succinct,
yet penetrating and comprehensive, account of the whole man-made
global-warming fiasco than David Solway's book -- in which he cogently sums
up the hucksters' and hysterics' arguments, dismantles them with surgical
precision, and, in closing, ponders with wit and insight the
all-important question: how is it that such nonsensical ideas were
formulated, disseminated, and so widely embraced in the first
place?"
Bruce Bawer, author,
While Europe Slept
"David Solway has written an elegant
takedown of the biggest, most costly and most dangerous hoax in modern
times."
David Horowitz,
FrontPage Magazine
"For the layman who wishes to be
thoroughly informed but does not have time to read all the primary
sources, David Solway has provided a definitive and accessible account of
the flaws in the so-called science of global warming."
Janice Fiamengo,
Professor of English, University of Ottawa
"Besides deftly snipping every crackpot
theory to bits -- making Global Warning the indispensable "climate
change" reference -- this wise and wonderful little book has deeper
questions to ponder. "It is the weather of the soul that changed for
the worse," Solway writes, and if the forecast is bleak, the
author's wisdom is illuminating."
Diana West,
columnist, Washington Times
"This is both a fierce and amusing look
at what may well be the greatest scam of the modern age-the myth of
global warming. One can only laugh and wonder at the absurdity which
Solway has masterfully exposed."
Jamie Glazov,
author, United in Hate

The Great
Canadian Debates
Our friends at the Macdonald-Laurier
Institute are holding some debates that you should probably attend:
The Great Canadian
Debates, a series of four provocative debates exploring some of the
most compelling issues to Canadians. Each debate will be presented
at the Canadian War Museum and
will feature well-known personalities and a moderator. Audience
members are invited to get involved by posing questions during
a Q&A session and voting for the winning argument.
Following the debate, the evening also includes private
access to the War Musem's special exhibit.
We'll have a table at their next debate which is on October 4th on
the CBC. Come visit us, please!
Free Mobile Applications!
