This page deals with the American
version of
"Cool it!".
"Cool it! - The Skeptical
Environmentalist´s Guide to Global Warming". Alfred A.
Knopf, 253 pp.
Links to critical reviews and questions regarding the American version of the book, with many useful comments.
Lomborg has made his own list of (mostly very small) errors in the book .
Flaws and errors and
critical comments to
particular chapters are listed here.
The process of scrutinizing the book is quite time consuming and is
still less than half complete (input
from others, with information on concrete flaws and errors in "Cool
it!", are very welcome. Contact here). For some sections of the book, no
comments have been listed yet. For certain other sections, only a few
comments have been made, and a thorough treatment is still awaiting.
These sections are marked with "preliminary" or "few comments yet". But
in all sections, more comments may be added in the future.
