If I recall... and I could be wrong here but at the beginning of the book he stated that the charts and data in the book were actual and that is what the bibliography was. I don't think he ever said that his opinions or a characters in the book is the right one. Is the author not entitled to his opinion?

What I am saying is that if this book is being taken by people to make certain conclusions about global warming how it is happening, if it is a "crisis", if reducing CO2 emissions will affect it etc. is up to the reader.

If I recall correctly there were radicals on both sides in the story.
