About Taken By Storm
Taken By Storm was published in October 2002 by Key Porter Books in Canada and has received high marks from media reviewers and academics.
“Irreverent and devastating….Essex and McKitrick effectively demolish most of what you think you know.” -The Globe and Mail
“Unique, powerful and long overdue in the climate change debate….There is no other book like this.” -The National Post
“This book should be required reading by policy makers, and any one in the general public who is concerned about what the Kyoto Accord really means for the environment and the economy.” -Professor Timothy Patterson
Paleoclimatologist, Department of Earth Sciences, Carleton University
“Taken By Storm is required reading. Any politician who has failed to read this book and yet is willing to commit society’s resources to avert global warming has been derelict in his or her duty to the public.” -Professor G. Cornelius Van Kooten,
Canada Research Chair in Environmental Studies and Climate Change,
University of Victoria
