Joshua G. Feldman "Technophile" (New York
The perversity, lies and quick profits they are his driving force. The fatuous and distorted review of the Orkan's book " Can Mankind survive the consequences of Global Warming due to the shortening of the distance between the Earth and the Sun? The Catastrophic Aftermath of the Mars/Earth Collision 10 000 Years Ago"
titled "A wild fantasy based on a totally selective reading of evidence", demands closer examination.
In the five years until July 2009, Feldman had reviewed 244 products from all departments of the Amazon.com website, including frying pans, dishes, toys, training shoes, electronic devices, computers, cameras and games.
Very few books were reviewed, and these were mostly for children. See for evidence on this point:

What is interesting is that all of these products had been used personally by Feldman and his family, and were universally recommended enthusiastically, with 90% of the products receiving 5 star ratings, and a further 8% warranting at least a 4 star rating. In most cases, the product descriptions were so commercially and technically detailed that one would be forgiven for believing that these were presented by an authorized agent rather than the average, uninterested customer!
In July 2009, Feldman ceased reviewing products; in November 2010 he opened on Amazon.com the "Scientific evidence for Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) theory" discussion thread. His credo was outlined on the forum as follows:
(1) The Earth is warming - as corroborated by a host of evidence
(2) This warming is caused by greenhouse gases, as supported by a wide constellation of evidence
(3) The greenhouse gas that has changed is CO2, and human fossil fuel emissions are driving the atmospheric CO2 concentration increase according to carbon isotope evidence

This statement of belief is supported by hundreds of articles from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) library. It would seem that from this time, Feldman has become an uncritical and devoted defender of the IPCC position, distorting and aggressively suppressing dissenting views. For Feldman, it is business as usual; the AGW theory from the IPCC control panel for sale!
