“Robert
Williscroft has masterfully debunked what masquerades as science in a
range of
hot
button topics from
the environment and energy to education and government.
He’s made his arguments accessible to the ordinary person supplying
him with
intellectual
ammunition to confront the experts.”

[Fair disclosure: Chicken Little’s author is my dad.]
If you’ve had a son, though – or been one – you’ll appreciate that an endorsement from this direction is by no means a guarantee. Still, I can’t help it: I’m impressed.
My dad’s been writing this book for most of my life. He and I have been around the block once or twice on many of the issues between its covers, and I was pleased to find that the lessons I learned along the way about the real world – you know, this big rock we all live on – translate well into print.
The fundamental thesis here is that there’s a real world out there if you’re willing to ignore the spin-doctors and go look for it. It’s a place whose attributes are measurable, consistent, and – brace yourself – rather encouraging!
I’d recommend my dad’s book to anybody who professes to have an open mind. Will you agree with everything he has to say? Maybe not. But since his point is that assertions can be checked, give it a try.
Odds are you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

What if I told you there was a book that even a person with no scientific knowledge could read and understand that would dispel all your fears about “global warming,” nuclear energy, “ozone holes,” and much of what the daily media tells you poses a terrible threat to the Earth and you?
What if I told you the book was written by a retired submarine officer with a B.S. in oceanography and meteorology from the University of Washington and a M.S. and Ph.D. in engineering from California Coast University?
What if I told you that, after reading The Chicken Little Agenda you would be the best informed, smartest person in the room when someone began to tell everyone that the Earth was doomed, there’s no way to provide electricity without producing greenhouse gases, blah, blah, blah!
This is hands-down the best book I have read in a very long time when it comes to explaining and debunking the kind of nonsense in Al Gore’s new film or the cover stories of Time and other so-called news magazines. Do yourself a very big favor and read it.
