Mirrors and Mazes by Howard Thomas Brady
This book raises a number of the points that demonstrate flaws and downright errors in the theory that human-generated carbon dioxide is the chief driver of global warming and climate change. The author has a respectable academic record; he worked and published on the geological and climatic history...
