Yes, I could but I know that what he writes about Iceland has not got
any basis in fact and I know this first hand because I live here and
have studied here and I know that his views have no factual grounding


I haven't read the book in question, but his reputation precedes himself.


What kind of a reputation does he have?

As far as your qualifications to dispute the book go, assuming it's similar
to the kind of studies he's done in the past, his book covers FAR more than
just the short period of time you've lived in Iceland. Absent a parallel
study in the same depth he's likely to have done, your personal experiences
are meaningless.


I do not base my knowledge on just personal experience but on the
studies on climate and weather that has been made here in Iceland.

I doubt you know as much as you claim to.


We all become aware, as we grow older, that we always know less than we
imagine
and I do not doubt that the same thing also applies to you.
