Climate Untruths
Three main topics are addressed: endangered species, air pollution and global climate change. There is a glossary, numbered references and an index.

On p15: "The opinion of more than 2,000 international experts is that a strong connection exists between global warming and the potential for damage to our planet." The reference cited, #37, is to report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change of the UN. Very few of the 2,000 "experts" were climatologists or even scientists of any type. An entire book has been written on the flaws in that report: Shattered Consensus by Patrick Michaels, Ed., 2005.A 1998 survey of scientists and engineers showed that 20,000 of them did not believe that human actions had caused global warming: www.oism.org at petition project. Furthermore, the warming since 1775 to now has been a great benefit, with far more food production possible, and very little species extinction. On p22 the World Wildlife Fund was held up as a paragon of concern for the environment. However, their tendency to exaggerate (or worse) was shown at least 20 times in the book The Skeptical Environmentalist by Bjørn Lomborg, 2001.

On p39 "...nitrous oxide (N2O) is of concern because it [sic] depletes the stratospheric ozone layer and also absorbs heat, thus contributing to global warming."Calhoun forgot to mention that N2O is present at 0.5 ppm, thus cannot possibly cause any detectable warming. On p42 ozone is claimed to be formed as a by-product of nitrogen oxides and other volatile organic compounds. The truth is that ozone is formed from oxygen and the ultraviolet light of the sun, so ozone is decomposing and re-forming all the time. Then, on leaded gasoline, it was written that "Removal of this harmful lead compound from gasoline took many years to legislate." Actually, it was found to interfere with the catalytic converters introduced in 1973 to limit pollution, and was out when cars built to resist the effect of unleaded gasoline on valves were mostly gone.

The ozone "hole" was never a hole. Seasonal drops in ozone level were seen in 1957 or so before use of CFCs was common in sprays. A better theory of ozone depletion by season is that micrometeorites follow magnetic lines of force into the poles, and speed the decomposition of ozone on the surfaces (p46).

On p73, the propaganda term "greenhouse gases" is used when carbon dioxide is really all that is meant. While the claimed relative ability of methane and nitrous oxide to trap heat is given, the ability of the main greenhouse gas, water vapor, is missing. Calhoun claims that "greenhouse gases" were first measured in the late 1950s, while the truth is that CO2 was meant. And this was erroneous, since CO2 levels were measured by direct chemical assay from 1812-1965 and were found to be higher than now at least 3 times. See: Beck, E.-G. (2007). 180 Years of Atmospheric CO2 Gas Analysis by Chemical Methods, Energy & Environment, 18(2), 259-282. So any implication that higher CO2 meant higher temperatures is grossly in error. An erroneous graph of CO2 level in air from 1750 is given on p74, missing the peaks in 1820, 1860 and 1940-5. And for children it is misleading to have the CO2 concentration level begin at 260 ppm rather than 0 ppm. This is to make it appear that CO2 levels have tripled since 1750 instead of being up and down between 290-385 ppm.

On p75, the emissions from fossil fuel burning labeled "carbon" but are actually CO2 clearly show that 3/4 of the claimed warming from 1800-2000 took place before those levels really rose according to the usual claims. So there is no correlation of CO2 with warming even using the fraudulent levels shown on p74. As pointed out above, CO2 levels went up and down, making the correlation equally poor.

On p77 is the usual enviro claim of disappearing glaciers. A key study showing that non-Alps glaciers stopped retreating by 1975 is not there. See:Oerlemans, J. (2005). Extracting a Climate Signal from 169 Glacier Records. Science, 308, 675-677. And there is no mention that every year since 1998 has been cooler despite CO2 supposedly rising, and that there was global cooling from 1940-1970 despite CO2 supposedly rising.

As you can see, there is no point in going on with this wildly inaccurate book, which can only mislead and scare children. Better to read Unstoppable Global Warming by Singer and Avery, 2008. ... Read more
