The climate myth

The apparent consensus of opinion about the human responsibility in the climate crisis is crumbling down. This book presents a sceptical point of view about the link between global warming and the anthropic carbon dioxide emissions. Targeting his critics on some key-points, the author explains with simple words the weaknesses of some arguments, in particular the statistical ones, that have been considered as conclusive: historical reconstruction of global ambient temperatures, ice cores analysis, climate models reliability.. Behind these particular deficiencies emerges a deeper epistemological question involving the real nature of carbon-related theories. By comparing the present day climate hypothesis to other episodes of the sciences history, the author advances that we are again in presence of a new case of 'pathological science'. Finally, he calls our attention on the insidious trend of some scientifical talks which is to consider the Earth as a subject instead of an object. The importance of the political, economical and social stakes of the climate debate imposes that we give a particular attention to these analyses. (J.S.)
