To discount the data in Avery's book because you dislike the partial source of funding is hypocrisy on your part. Is the IPCC-UN-Kofi Annan any purer as a source of funding for "your side" ?
READ the book and keep an open mind. There are THOUSANDS of very reputable scientists quoted in the book !
Let's see what you believe after reading it. I'll even send you my copy, if you wish.

I haven't read the whole book, only excerpts. There is some interesting stuff, but also a lot of speculation, spin and liberal use of "facts".
His background and
all his previous articles and books (chemical spray and pesticides are REALLY good for you...., natural or organically grown food is REALLY bad, burning coal is cool, nuclear energy is great, alternative fuels are "nonsense", the Plastic industry is wonderful) makes me a little bit suspicious of his credibility, plus the fact that he's in the same right-wing industry pocket as Steve Milloy, and has the peerage and support of such sleezy villains as PNACist Norman Podhoretz and other neo-con 5th columnists, all make me a bit cynical as to his aims. Can you read between the lines, or do you accept what he says as gospel, Nero ?
This may help you.
