Climate and Energy: The Case for Realism
The attempted cures for climate change are generally worse than the disease—especially for the poor. In this groundbreaking volume, experts in all the fields related to climate change explain for laymen what we know about climate change and evaluate from a Christian perspective the proposed responses.
Demands to transform the global energy infrastructure to depend heavily on wind, solar, and other renewables are harmful to people in America and the world–especially to the poor. Meanwhile, continued large-scale use of traditional energy sources like nuclear, hydro, and fossil fuels would reduce poverty while doing less harm to the environment.
Climate and The Case For Realism combines outstanding climate science, physics, economics, environmental science, political science, ethics, and theology to present a well-reasoned understanding of human-induced climate change and how to respond to it.

difficult, but worthwhile read
Reading this book reinforces my feeling that the climate catastrophe is political not factual. Models that align with observations are averaged with models that don’t so projections are not aligned with reality, but are aligned with acceptable narratives. Renewables are pushed even though they are unreliable and expensive. Commitments to decarbonize are made even though they will do far more harm than good, especially in developing countries.
Don’t take my word for it. Read this book and draw your own conclusions. It will be worth your time

Excellent. Very well organized and summary sections at the beginning and end of each chapter allowed me to skip the most technical chapters and still follow the argument of the book.

Important book refuting the undue confidence that climate alarmists have in most climate models. Very technical but the editors try to make it understandable to the lay person.
