If you listen to the media, you would think that man-made environmental catastrophe was about to engulf the world and imperil civilization. From Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth to nightly jeremiads about CO2 emissions and carbon footprints, we are bombarded around the clock with alarmist reports that disasterous global warming is on the rise and that it's our fault. In Climate Confusion, noted climatologist Roy Spencer shows that fears about global warming are vastly exaggerated and are driven by politics, not truth. He shows that a global superstorm has already arrived--but it is a storm of hype and hysteria. Climate Confusion is a ground-breaking book that combines impeccable scientific authority with great wit and literary panache to expose the hysteria surrounding the myths of global warming and climate change. Spencer shows that the earth is far more resilient than exopessimists pretend and that increasing wealth and technology ingenuity, far from being the enemies of the environment, are the only means we possess to solve environmental problems as they arise.--Provided by the publisher.

Denne rapport gir en helhetlig vurdering av, hva klimaendringer som følger av en global oppvarming på +2 grader i år 2100 vil bety for Norden. Studiet er gennemført af Cicero og COWI for Klimagruppen under Nordisk Ministerråd. Der foreligger et betydelig antall analyser av forventede effekter av fremtidige klimaendringer i Norden. Imidlertid vedrører de fleste av disse analysene effekter av og tilpasning til klimaendringer, der bygger på scenarier, som forutser større klimaendringer og høyere temperaturstigninger. Den globale temperaturstigning på +2 grader, er et gjennomsnittstall, der dekker over regionale variasjoner. For Norden innebærer dette typisk at temperaturendringene forventes å bli høyere, jo lengre nordpå man beveger seg. Rapporten belyser sårbarhet og effekter for havnivå, landbruk, skogbruk, fiske, energi- og kraftproduksjon, energietterspørsel, bygg og anlegg, transport, turisme, naturulykker, urfolk, helse og biologisk mangefold.
