I guess these days I am surprised when a decently popular author does NOT come across like a moonbat lefty. Dan Simmons has been a pleasant surprise, much like Orson Scott Card.

Dan previously had written "Time Traveler" which warned about the dangers of NOT fighting Islamofascism. Here, he takes a sceptical and responsible look at the global warming movement.

I personally am not longer a denier (but stil a sceptic) of the basic idea of Global Warming, however I am opposed to the MOVEMENT and its aims (worldwide socialism and the fall of American prominence).

"The ecology of the Earth is not more complex than we think. It is more complex than we CAN think."

I don't think anyone denies global warming is happening.

What they are denying tho is that it's 'man made'.

The earth warms and cools in cycles, we are probably heading into a warming trend.

When the two Canadian climatologists tried to recreate Mann's infamous "hockey stick" they found more religion than science behind it. Data that didn't fit was put in a directory called "sequestered". Mann wouldn't give his analytical code to them because he thought they were trying to disprove his work. Nothing "scientific" about the conduct of Global Warming's high priests.

It is a fact that the methods proposed for dealing with the "crisis" invariably line up with the proposers ideas of what is desirable anyway.

Generally this consists of instituting a command economy and giving much more power to the government.

**War is too important to be left to the generals.**

Nonsense here is what Air Force General Jack Ripper said about that subject.

"He said war was to important to be left to the Generals. When he said that, fifty years ago, he might have been right. But today, war is too important to be left to politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought. I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids."
