great review. i figure if enough time passes, all the holes will be patched up for doubt. hell, they convinced the AMA to publish articles saying it was good for your health back in the day, so weve come a long way i think haha

You're probably familiar with the work of Robert Proctor at Stanford. If not, please look him up and his idea: agnotology.

Joanne,
Did you see the NYT article about a recenty discovered oil industry document from 1995 showing that even then they knew the science of global warming and planned their whole "doubt campaign"? I don't know if that book has a chapter on CO2, but the industry MO is identical.
Anyway, here's Chris Mooney's take on that:

CO2 not exhaustively covered (he covers plenty and skims on the CO2 issue--big oil appears in the book, but more in relation to MOCA and benzene)
I asked Chris' publicity agent at their publisher to send me an early copy of their upcoming book Unscientific America for review. I'm looking forward to it!
