Look, man, I am a reader. I read books. Some of them are relevant to energy and environment and other science.
Run along and suck your thumb if you don't like it.
I'm going to run along and finish reading The Neglected Sun which was a bestseller in Germany for weeks, resounded in the energy/environment/political/academic groups there, has been a very hot topic. And interesting as hell.

It takes courage to watch a film so well-done as September 11 - The New Pearl Harbor. You will never be the same. It is a new release. Five hours. Watch it on YouTube for free.

"Look man, I read books! Not very scientifically sound books, mind you. Then again, I mostly read badly researched books that conform to my bias so I can post Gish Gallop here on Peak Oil. I love to troll for a response as opposed to engaging in any type of serious intellectual discussion based on the accepted science and the legitimate questions that remain. Furthermore, please don't accuse me of being inept in my statements based on my resources, because you know, I just read books and love to report to you on them."
There is really no reason to engage in comment here.
The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.

Sounds like you want to wallow in ignorance, that you are not in the least curious about a subject you post on frequently, that you are so threatened that you don't even want to peek at the contents of the book or comment on it rationally, that you are not in the least interested in the German reaction to the book (a country with powerful interests in renewables), and, frankly, it sounds like mama needs to change your diaper.
Preface and Chapter 1
The Neglected Sun is definitely not "pop science". Each chapter is fully referenced with published papers and books by reputable, involved climate scientists. Vahrenholt, himself, has worked for and been involved with the IPCC. He is a renewable energy expert and the chairman of Europe's fifth largest power company. His co-author is a Geoscientist with decades of experience.
Sorry. Couldn't include the charts witout going to way too much effort. But anyone can judge for themselves the quality of the information, the credentials of the authors and their very qualified backgrounds.
Ignorance gets you nowhere. What are you afraid of? You guys sound ridiculous.
