Also very good read in the same vein is Burt Rutan’s “An Engineer’s Critique of Global Warming ‘Science’ “.

Rutan is good in points 3, 4, and 5. He is also accurate on politics in general. On 1 his argument is weak and based on talking points. He needs more original research or just leave it out or just say: CO2 is only dangerous based on unproven models. On 2, he is a bit stronger but still mishmashes his model critiques. The projective models are unproven for CAGW (the idea that the world will fry within 100 years) but the line-by-line atmospheric models are perfectly acceptable for showing that increases in CO2 generally cause warming of a benign amount, about 1 degree C. 3, 4, and 5 are good, but need some cleaning up (e.g. the five year downward trend in OHC is not significant so leave it out).
