Hide the Decline, February 23, 2010
This book and its author are under a huge cloud of scandal and should be taken with a very skeptical eye. We now know that the underlying research based on the NASA GISS project, which Dr Hansen heads, is incomplete at best and fraudulent at worse. This is due to adjustments to the base data that skew the latter half of the century to be warmer than the first half, skew the first half to be cooler, while discounting the urban heat island effect by adjusting rural stations higher during the latter half. In addition, calculation methods have changed over time for the same data set giving different anomaly readings. Finally, data has been "lost." Hansen is an original thinker, but after what has come to light in the last few weeks, this should be listed under Science Fiction Fantasy.

More Propaganda, January 20, 2010
I wonder if the reviewers who've given this book high ratings yet know that Hansen has been caught fudging data. It's the US version of Climategate - using "tricks" to "hide the decline" and all that. Hansen's "theory" about climate change and predictions about the future of the planet have nothing to do with what's going on in the real world. His political activities include his direct involvement with Al Gore and his agenda has much more to do with using partisan politics for his own gain then anything resembling real science.
One would have to be extremely uninformed to recommend this book, unless it's to someone who's interested in studying the use of "Climate Change" propaganda in the process of Big Lie politics.
