What do you get when you bring together seven outstanding scholars to discuss the role carbon dioxide plays in the health of humanity and planet Earth?
You get The Climate Surprise: Why CO2 Is Good for the Earth, a set of concise, clear papers demonstrating that:

• Carbon dioxide benefits the Earth in many ways, and in fact the planet needs more of it in the atmosphere for plants and all other life to thrive.

• Calling the slight reduction in the alkalinity of seawater that comes with rising atmospheric CO2 “ocean acidification” is deceptive—and ocean species are fully capable of adapting to it.

• Proper economic analysis shows that we can adapt to the slight warming effect of the CO2 we add to the air at a cost far below that of trying to reduce it.

And there’s lots more in The Climate Surprise, all communicated in a way that makes it easy for non-specialists to understand and pass on to others. The Climate Surprise will make a great resource for

• students facing climate-change alarmist propaganda in their high school and college courses;

• citizens pressured to support policies to force a shift from abundant, affordable, reliable fossil fuels, supplemented by nuclear and hydropower, as our main source of electricity, to diffuse, expensive, and intermittent wind, solar, and other renewables;

• teachers eager to provide students with better information on climate change and climate and energy policy than comes from standard curriculum;

• journalists committed to balanced reporting on one of the most controversial issues of our time; and

• elected officials facing tough decisions on climate and energy policy.

The seven authors are

1. Bruce M. Everett, specialist in global energy issues and Adjunct Associate Professor of International Business at Tufts University;
2. William Happer, Professor Emeritus of Physics at Princeton University and Director of Energy Research under President George H.W. Bush;
3. Craig Idso, founder, former president, and current chairman of the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change and lead author of reports of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change;
4. Roger Kimball, Editor and Publisher of The New Criterion and Publisher of Encounter Books;
5. Richard S. Lindzen, dynamical meteorologist and former Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT);
6. Patrick Moore, co-founder and for seven years a Director of Greenpeace and author of Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout: The Making of a Sensible Environmentalist;
7. Roy W. Spencer, Principal Research Scientist in climatology at the University of Alabama-Huntsville, U.S. Science Team Leader on NASA’s Aqua Satellite program providing global atmospheric temperature readings, and Senior Fellow of The Cornwall Alliance.
