Annals of Climate Hysteria – A Standard Work
By Jules de Waart.
"The era of reason has ended. The era of hysterics is about to begin."
Free to Tolkien and Guterres (UN SG)
"Man has always been inclined to hysteria, but it has never been as harsh as it is today." It is the title of a column by Rob Hoogland, one of the highly praised columnists of the Telegraaf. I saw the text just before I started writing a review of the book by Hans Labohm, Dick Thoenes and Jeroen Hetzler entitled "Annals of Climate Hysteria".
It is a bulky book, with 365 pages, and not always easy. You don't have to. Albert Einstein once said:
"You have to say something as simple as possible, but not simpler."
In my opinion, Hans Labohm and his co-authors have succeeded excellently in making a controversial subject, which is not so easy, readable for a large audience, while maintaining their journalistic and scientific integrity.
The book is a compilation of a large number of articles and consists of two parts. The first part is a detailed description and in-depth analysis of sceptical views on climate policy up to about the year 2004. The second part provides glimpses into the current period and ends in December 2022. All relevant developments in the scientific positions to date, including those of the IPCC, could be taken into account.
