   Nature is still thriving but its peer reviewed content has lost quite a lot on the quality front

   Good lord! Just in the short excerpts you provide, he is simultaneously arguing that AGW will lead to a new ice age (p 91) that would be noticeable by 1995, and that it is going to increase sea levels dramatically (a few pages later).

   These global warmers certainly are a morbid lot.

     I think it is called mental illness.

   McKibben looks and sounds like a raving lunatic. He seems to have some obsession with the notion that nature should be ideal for man or rather his notion of what is ideal for man. He seems to think that nature was perfect on the day that he was born.

   That’s a Yellow Warbler on the cover. Very abundant bird which lives in a very wide range of habitats. Will survive climate change rather nicely. Has for a long time.

   This bird also cheers the ‘destruction of the rain forest’ on its winter range as that creates more younger habitats for it.

   Tells me that the cover designer, publisher, and of course author really have no clue about much at all. This bird is the opposite of what they are trying to sell.

   But its real purty, and it is dead, and its all our fault, apparently.

     He’s not dead, he’s resting.
