Editor:

In calm, temperate, gentle words, Mary Lou Morrison wishes to steer readers to go to a book store and pick up a book whose author heartily endorses global warming.

I hesitate to call it a "bum steer." (But I didn't hesitate very long, did I?)

On the other hand I would like folks to know of a New York Times best selling book called, "Unstoppable Global Warming, Every 1,500 Years." Its thesis is that a regular, recurring cycle of warming and cooling happens as a result of changing radiation from the sun.

We didn't do it. The sun did. The authors, S. Fred Singer and Dennis T. Avery, dedicate the book to "those thousands of highly qualified research scientists who have documented physical evidence of the 1,500-year climate cycle over the entire globe."

I addition, they say the three scientists who led the discovery of the 1,500-year cycle n Willi Dansgaard of Denmark, Hans Oescher of Switzerland, and Claude Lorius of France n were jointly awarded the Tyler Prize (the environmental Nobel) in 1966.

Ms. Morrison goes on to say her recommendation is a "humorous, informative and easily comprehended book."

Well, I fear I shall lose this debate because my book is so jam packed with scientific data that it is a slow, ponderous read. In fact, I didn't get a single laugh.

You win some. You lose some.
