Mark Lawson challenges the confidence placed in climate forecasting, computer models, renewable energy schemes and sweeping policy claims, asking whether the evidence really justifies the certainty. First published in 2010 and now re-released, the book is striking for how many of its arguments still resonate today. Written for the general reader, not the specialist, it is lively, accessible and often entertaining. Agree or disagree, this is a book that will make you question assumptions, revisit old predictions and think for yourself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMark Lawson is an Australian journalist and writer.
