Amazon.com: Meltdown: The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Scientists, Politicians, and the Media: Books: Patrick J. Michaels: "Advocates of the precautionary principle will note that he fails to demonstrate his claim that 'there is no known, feasible policy that can stop or even slow these climate changes.' And while he chalks up global warming alarmism to an unholy alliance of climatologists hungry for grants and media sensationalism, his remedy for biased science is not better science but a 'wider source of bias' in the form of more funding of climatology by the fossil fuel industry. He also calls for the abolition of academic tenure—a crushing blow against an independent professorate that libertarians and their allies in the world of academia view as the intellectual wellspring of the regulatory state. Nonetheless, Michaels’s challenge to global warming orthodoxy should invigorate the debate over climate change."
