Chemistry World is the latest magazine to review the Hockey Stick Illusion. This is another critical one...
Here, one small part of the body of evidence that shows the Earth is warming is examined in tedious detail, with a focus on the actions and words of its protagonists. Undoubtedly there have been shortcomings in working practises, many a result of the sustained pressure these individuals have been under from a small but determined group of sceptics (most recently in the UK through the repeated use of freedom of information requests), but this polemic does absolutely nothing to alter the physics of the Earth system. Andrew Montford declares he studied chemistry - with the benefit of his scientific education one would think he should know better. Readers of Chemistry World will have far better things to do than read this pedantic book.
Another critic who does not dispute anything I say! Looking good...
I haven't stopped laughing since I first read this review. Professor Hewitt should be on the telly.
