Joe Romm reviewed and trashed Matthew Kahn's (very good) book Climateopolis. Matthew asked a question:
Dear Joe,
Have you read my book or merely poked around the 6 pages that Amazon offers for free from the 288 page book? Have you read any of my work on climate change?
Joe answered:
Actually, Amazon offers some 70 full pages of the book for free -- and through the search feature you can find even more of the content. Frankly, the most illuminating part of the book are the notes, as I discuss. Your other work on climate change is not germane. I dare say one can read a much higher fraction of your book online than the fraction of relevant climate science literature you apparently have read. Have you read even a few of the relevant posts on this blog? Even this post and this one would get you to much of the key literature.
I take that answer to be a "no."
Joe Romm is "reviewing" a book he has not read.
That is not good.
