Climate Fetish

About the Book

The reader is invited to consume this work of nonfiction with a mind open to the new idea that global environmentalism has devolved into Ecopolitics as a partisan political special interest in the 21st Century. Sadly, consensus science that solves real environmental problems has been replaced with pernicious political propaganda and demagoguery. And, the cost-benefit analyses necessary for prioritizing and solving environmental problems goes unmentioned in the issues of global climate change – unmentioned because such analyses are incalculable in today’s knowledge of climate science. This book is a rational synthesis of the massive, and often contradictory, volumes of information on global warming and climate change. This book cites numerous contemporary and credible experts on the issues of climate science and climate policy for a balanced assessment. The Author has dedicated his life to understanding and communicating the complexities, interrelationships, politics, sciences, economics and global significance manifested in environmental matters. Mr. Taylor has authored two prior book: “Green Gone Wrong” and “Climate of Ecopolitics.”
