Interesting your basing your thoughts on what Fred Singer says in a book. 
Isn't he the guy who was sure that CFCs don't attack the Ozone layer, and 
that smoking wasn't bad for health. He also works for a PR company (as well 
as a university - I wonder which hat he was wearing?).

Ho, ho, ho, nice business model, pick a current prevalent theory, write a 
book "debunking" it (by "reinterpreting" others research - notice he never 
does any primary research himself - his reinterpretation frequently disagrees 
with the conclusions of the original researchers), Boost the book by making 
sensationalist claims that everyone's got it wrong - laugh all the way to the 
bank.

Reminds me of that guy who made a fortune writing books claiming we were 
descended from aliens, his books were full of scientific proofs as well.

Cheers
