Global Warming in a Politically Correct Climate
By M. Mihkel Mathiesen
Based on the latest scientific findings, "Global Warming in a Politically Correct Climate" contains
densely packed information never before published in a format accessible to the non-scientist. With
the forgiving veil of political correctness lifted, the roles of advocacy groups, bureaucracies,
politicians, industry, the legal profession, and career-conscious scientists are examined. Mathiesen
particularly scrutinizes the media. "Global Warming in a Politically Correct Climate" is an
enlightening look at how the transfer of wealth from an unwitting public is justified by averting
non-existent threats, and how greed rather than pure idealism is at work in environmental politics.

Americans now constitute 50 percent of all new HIV cases, and AIDS is one of the top causes of death
in young black men and women. The story of how this came to pass reaches across half a century, from
the Great Migration north to the boom of the postwar era and the subsequent urban decay, the advent
of heroin and crack, and the rise of the new South.
