    About this ebook

    If global warming isn't real then how come the ice caps are melting? Why would all the world's top scientists lie to us? What exactly is so wrong with biofuels, wind farms, carbon taxes, sustainability and preserving scarce resources for future generations? And what about Bangladesh, the drowning Maldives and all those endangered polar bears? James Delingpole has all the answers - and they're not the ones Al Gore would like you to hear. In Watermelons, Delingpole tells the shocking true story of how a handful of political activists, green campaigners and voodoo scientists engineered the world's biggest, most expensive and destructive outbreak of mass hysteria - one that threatens the very fabric of Western Civilisation.

      Delinpole's prose is sufficient to hold my interest and turn pages rapidly. But after you finish this book, you sort of feel like you really have not benefitted. Brilliant at the beginning, the book becomes monotonous after some time. I havd never heard of Climate gate before reading this book and I am with Delingpole if the scientists are actually manipulating data as he claims. But Delingpole takes us down diatribe lane and lambasts his opponents. A lot of information is missing too. Like Delingpole says, wind energy is much more costly then fossil fuel enerfgy, he says that our fossil fuel reservoirs are getting replenished and than keeping mum,.He dioes not say how? A book which can teeach you a lot of things but logic and unpartisanship are not among them.
