If you like to get the temperature of a debate pool before hopping in, then I simply cannot recommend this book enough. In his book, Dr. Spencer takes the readily available information on both sides of the spectrum and dissects the scientific jargon and eliminates hazy math in order to give us, the laymen, a full understanding of the argument. Dr. Spencer is gentle in his tone, professional in his language but also fiercely dedicated to telling the truth and displaying the facts for what they are, facts. This book also serves as a fine weapon to bash idiots over the head with, I must say.
Below I have taken the liberty of posting a couple of reviews.

“Climate Confusion is the best book length treatment of global warming science that is available to the literate citizen. The title says it all. Spencer explains the broad agreement over the existence of some climate change and the existence of some human role, but he also explains why these have little to do with the implausible and overheated projections of environmental disaster. The author thus cuts through all the rhetorical brickbats of “denialism” and “salvationism” to allow the citizen to reach rational conclusions. Despite a light touch, Spencer does not pull punches when it comes to unclothing the moral pretenses of many in the environmental movement—pretenses often disguising some truly immoral agendas.”

“An outstanding discussion of the many scientific, political and religious problems associated with the acceptance that humans are the primary cause of global warming. A must read for anyone wanting a full and balanced understanding of the global warming debate.”
