And, indeed, *she said as much*, noting that this lower solar activity would
simply buy time to address global warming as still must be done - I read an
article about this particular prediction.

Because people won't buy books telling them everything is fine,
nothing to worry about.


The world is full of science deniers who buy exactly that kind
of book.

The world is full of bestseller lists packed with doom and gloom
predictions of the apocalypse, because stupid people buy them.


Yeah. I remember the ones about the Mayan calendar, and of course
there's no shortage of garbage directed at the religious (who are, by
definition, stupid and credulous). Nothing about global warming falls
into that category, though. The risks there are very real, and the
science is very good.

One of those documentaries with good science, like The Flintstones?

I've heard it was actually advertised as a documentary in parts of
Europe.

For those who are unfamiliar with why this is funny, there is a
review of said movie by paleoclimatologist William Hyde (of

I agree, I see lots of global warming books with "terror titles." After all, global warming is denial of real science.
