Unintended consequences: the lie that killed millions and accelerated climate change
In Unintended Consequences, best-selling author George Erickson exposes the lie that created our extreme radiation safety standards, the damage those regulations have caused, and his contempt for “greens” who profit from promoting 30% efficient, carbon-reliant solar panels and bird, bat and human-killing, CO2-producing windmills, but oppose environment-friendly, CO2-free, 90% efficient safe, nuclear power. With startling images and input from of engineers, physicists and specialists in nuclear medicine, the author urges closed-minded organizations like the Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace to emulate real environmentalists like Stephen Tindale, James Lovelock and Stewart Brand, who had opposed nuclear power, but now support it as the safest, most efficient way to produce the 24/7 electricity we must have to effectively combat Climate/Ocean Change. Dr. Alex Cannara, BS & MS EE, PhD Mathematical Methods, Menlo Park, California.

Accurate and intense summary of climate change issues.
Thorough explanations for the layperson with enough details to not only back up his information but interest readers in pursuing these topics further. Web-links and quotes are used on most pages.
The kindle version I used wouldn't allow adjusting the font or page size, so it was slightly annoying to read in fine print. Fortunately I found the material is quite engrossing.

Poorly written polemic
Chaotic to read, lacks citations, and is a tangle for the reader to try and wade through -- there are much better books on this topic, give this tangled unreadable mess a miss
