Planning Aheads slogan is See The Light CO2s Alright! and does this by describing how the Greenhouse Effect works and why anthropogenic (man-made) carbon dioxide is hardly a minor cause, let alone THE major cause, of climate change. It describes why the IPCC and Kyoto are not what they seem and offers an alternate organisation, The Newcastle Protocol, which would achieve results. It also highlights why such things as carbon taxes / carbon trading and biofuels are detrimental to improving the Earths Health; how blindly trying to reduce emissions can lead to a lowering of The People s living standards and why reliable water and 24/7 base-load power are the foundations of modern urban society. Its overall message is that by continuing to use economical fossil fuels carefully and sensibly, we will be better equipped to prosper in whatever climate comes our way, and in the process leave a better world for future generations. You are a lot closer to a general reference on global warming than most of the stuff I have seen. Your debunking of anthropogenic global warming is the most important part of the book. Donald N. Anderson PhD Anchorage, Alaska USA --Don Anderson after reviewing the book I was born in Finley NSW, Australia in 1941. There was a drought, (1936 to 1945, the driest decade in the last 110 years), and the cost of beer was supposedly less than water. This seemed to be borne out by the number of people crowding into the three pubs across the road from my parents Newsagency. My early education was playing Cowboys and Indians and reading comics. I went to high school in Albury and remember walking across the Murray River without getting my feet wet. It was just another of the many dry years. After qualifying as a Metallurgist from RMIT I changed over to computing in 1963 and ended up working in Melbourne, New York, Germany and Alaska. During this period photography and writing took as much time as computing. In-between jobs I would wander around the world for a year or two at a time. I returned to Australia in 1992 and have since spent most of my time photographing every lighthouse in Australia and self publishing three books about them. Two are the definitive and only complete published record of the Australian lighthouses that exists. Does this qualify me as an expert on Climate Change? Probably not, but do you know of any politician that has a degree in Political Science? I have worked in technical fields all my life, and as a professional landscape and nature photographer, I found that studying the weather and the environment was high on my agenda. I have spent a year sifting through books, papers and the internet finding and cross checking information for this book. There is nothing in it that I would not be prepared to debate as to why I believe it is a reasonable statement. At least I m not being paid to produce a predetermined result, by either private enterprise or the government, nor do I own any shares in any company involved in fossil fuels or green power. I just believe we re being taken up the garden path regarding carbon dioxide and its time to get back on track so that we leave the world in a better state for future generations.
