One thought on “Website for book “Mirrors and Mazes” by Dr Howard Brady”

1. This captivating book about the climate change debate includes up-to-date scientific information presented in an excellent manner that provides facts that the general readership can fully grasp. In addition to clearly explaining the science, the author shines a welcome light on the motives of those who cling hard-and-fast to their opinions irregardless of scientific facts. The controversies discussed are primarily about the science of global warming but also include the clash between economic realities and the monstrous remedial actions proposed by radical environmentalists, accompanied by media sensationalism, to avoid their predicted climate catastrophes. Much of the debate about the science revolves around the vast discrepancy between experimental data and the computer model predictions of the heavily politicized U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). These models predict a large amount of global warming produced by CO2, a byproduct of man’s use of fossil fuels, which differs wildly from the very small, if any, CO2 induced warming observed from ancient indicators to modern satellite measurements. Note that fossil fuels are essential in meeting current energy needs, and CO2 is our life-giving gas which is vital to agriculture, and that both of these are particularly important to the poorest among us. A comment about the demonization of CO2 by Prof. William Happer (Princeton), arguably the top scientist in this area of physics, can be found on this webpage at the Read More link in the book’s description. So is catastrophic man-made global warming by CO2 all it’s cracked up to be? A truthful answer is to this central question of climate change is the essence of this book, which is based on facts, not politics. The value of this 176-page (Kindle edition) book’s comprehensive content cannot be overstated. Every aspect of climate change is looked at from every angle. It covers every important characteristic of the Earth’s atmospheric environment. I could do no better in this review than to quote Prof. William Happer’s comments on the back cover of the paperback edition: “Mirrors and Mazes is written for intelligent laymen who like to think for themselves. The book reviews all of the issues that touch on the current climate debate: the nature of greenhouse gasses; clouds; the sun; sea level; extreme weather; polar ice; etc. Equations are avoided, but numbers are given when essential, for example, in discussions of rising sea level, where Dr Brady is an expert. There are well-chosen illustrations and good references for those who would like to dig deeper. Dr Brady’s discussions of the complicated interplay of the climate movement with religion, politics and the media are especially insightful, perhaps because of his youthful training in theology. “I am especially fond of Mirrors and Mazes. It would be an excellent addition to the personal library of anyone who wants to understand climate facts, stripped of propaganda and emotion.”   William Happer Professor f Physics, Emeritus Princeton Universityu, USA
