Case Smit writes:

Below is a listing of more than 1,000 published books with the overall message that the changing climate is due to nature, not to our burning of fossil fuels.

This huge body of evidence is surely sufficient to compel the Government to mount an independent inquiry into the wisdom of continuing to throttle our economy by lowering our carbon dioxide emissions and subsidising renewables.

[Note 1: Check out a worthwhile list of good AGW related books at Cornwall Alliance.]
[Note 2: I have NOT read many of these well-regarded books, but from what I’ve heard I put some of the better ones in bold. Feel free to offer suggested improvements.]

[Note 3: Since a primary solution to AGW proposed by its advocates is wind energy, see this book list that explains why wind energy is a non-solution. The logical conclusions from this realization is that AGW proponents are not technically adept, or that they have an undisclosed agenda.]
