Even the author admits to being duped, and said he would fix the errors for
paperback and foreign language editions. The history of Hiroshima
is not wrong, just the author got a wanna-be to tell him stories of how he
participated in the event that he never participated in.

What I find ironic is that you continue to be global warmist after global
warming science has been greatly undermined, and in fact a leading climate
change scientist has said that more extreme warming took place during
medival times, long before there was enough human activity to affect the
levels of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. That's what ironic is.

What's ironic is that a book got published with stories that involved a guy
that was never there, but the basic story is historically accurate even if a
participant is changed, but in climate science there is enough evidence to
suggest that the basic story isn't even accurate, yet you cleave to it as if
it was gospel truth.

Not much different from the way you "cleave to" the story about the 5
soldiers at Ft. Jackson, even though the only reliable source contradicts
Cuntious and his "news source".
