A handful of bike riders gathered at the entrance of the Rockport Beach Park at 7 p.m. Wednesday for the “Ride of Silence.” The event is a ride of respect to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured in accidents involving motor vehicles.
Jill Roberts organized the local event. Her son, Heath, died from injuries sustained in a Dec. 9, 2004 accident in Harlingen. He was a 2004 graduate of Rockport-Fulton High School and was attending Texas State Technical College at the time of the accident. He passed away October 16, 2006, four days shy of this 21st birthday. Roberts and her son Justin Bolden led the ride.

Instead of presenting this to the scientific world in a peer reviewed journal, these guys publish it in this book in an attempt to sway public opinion. I could go on as many of the statements in this article are misleading, or blatantly ludicrous. Suffice it to say, it looks to me like this book is much more about influencing public opinion than any scientific review of whether human activity is causing climate change.
It is sad some people will believe this as fact. "
