I first read Hal Lewis' resignation letter from the APA Society (it's a startling read and made me want to start digging deeper into what's going on). With 1 exception, everything I've been able to find, thus far, supports him: read the ClimateGate Reports and the UK government's white-wash: it's a scam. The one exception is Edward Snowden.
In his book, Permanent Change, Showden says Climate Change is real. Whether that's man-made or not, is another point entirely (after all the world's constantly changing). And nothing else I've seen or heard has made me want to change my mind--as such, I'm not a CCM, as the author terms it, rather someone who doesn't believe the bull coming out from government (follow the money), someone who's actually trying to find out some solid, verifiable, and new information, and someone who had high hopes for this book.
I was disappointed.
Sure, it's getting harder and harder to locate verifiable information but, at the very least, you'd expect a list of references, sources, something to follow and verify - there weren't. In the end, after only going though 15 or so of the 101 'truths' (they're not truths), the repetitive tedium was getting too much.
Whatever your thoughts about Greta and her control-team, and whatever gripes the author may have against her, my own personal opinion is if you're going to do something like this, then you need to back it up with evidence. The author doesn't. There's enough bullcrap out there, and the parts of this book I read were more of the same. I refunded the next day.

Serious subject, but author lightens the read with sharp wit. Clarion cry for rationality in energy policy. Transition away from diminishing fossil fuels needs to be realistic and incremental.

Zina Cohen does not hold back in her assault of global warming alarmists. Although I didn't find statistical verification for all her claims, doing some research verifies we are in a battle for freedom from tyranny of green law. The usurpation of moral high ground by the knuckleheads who gave us "An inconvenient truth " is as strong as ever. Zina hopes you and I can counter that with sanity and a dose of scientific reality. I can only hope so.

A perfect read for our time of hypocrisy and anarchy. I wish it wasn't so, but since it is this book will help prepare you.

Don't believe everything you think
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 21, 2020Verified Purchase
There is a brisk trade in opinion pieces from both sides of this debate, much of it badly-written and a waste of readers' time. Zina Cohen (who she/he?) has much to say about the environmental movement. I agree with about 50% of her/his statements, but '101 truths' they are not. There is a very clear difference between truth and opinion, especially when those views are not backed up with scientific and empirically verified sources. This pamphlet has not a single reference or footnote.
It's also downright nasty. The author swoops down on her hapless young prey, and triumphantly slaps her on the front page. A cheap and cynical trick for attracting attention. I am no religious worshipper at the shrine of St Greta, but as an ex mental-health worker I have compassion for a young girl on the autistic spectrum who has the courage of her convictions - even if those convictions are misplaced. This is the school bully taunting the nerdy kid.
101 Truths is slightly better written than her/his previous diatribe about the EU, but Cohen hasn't mastered the art of succinct prose. She rambles on interminably on the same theme, and sees no reason to use two words
when twenty will do. I had to skip large chunks just to maintain my interest.
There is some merit in this work, and I share the concerns about re-cycling and dumping waste in China and Poland. I also share her contempt for the hypocrisy of celebrity 'greens'. The need to be called out on a regular basis - but by authors of a much higher calibre than Zina Cohen. The subject of our environment and its eventual fate is far too complex for simplistic and politically polarised dogma - by evangelical environmentalists or climate change 'deniers'.
I can see how this book has gleaned 5 star reviews. It plays very well to the gallery of deniers. It's full of 'confirmation bias'. A great deal of mischievous pleasure can be gained from name-calling those who hold a contrary point of view and Cohen is lavish with her 'idiots-and-nutters' epithets when referring to the Climate change mythmakers (CCMs). Standard tub-thumping stuff.
The odd lie is thrown in too eg 'It has been proven that eating meat is as dangerous as smoking' Absolutely untrue. Meat eating is fine in moderation (like most things we do) and there is no proven connection between meat and cancer - though BBQ-ing is thought to increase the risk. Eat meat once a week and, all else being equal, you'll live to a ripe old age. My parents did. Cigarettes, on the other hand and asbestos are proven carcinogens.
Get it right Zina.
There is a very long and rigorous debate to be had on the issue of climate change but unfortunately the issue has been hijacked by two totally opposing camps - and neither will give ground to the other. Indeed both tribes demonstrate the same characteristics - unwillingness to admit they might be wrong, a total lack of humility, a sanctimonious attitude towards contrarians, a reluctance to back up their arguments with robust scientific evidence, and a tendency to launch ad hominem attacks.
Is this book worth a read? Only if you are a free thinker. Otherwise it's a waste of time. If you subscribe to the apocalyptic version of climate events, you will foam at the mouth. If you are an ardent denier of human responsibility for our present climate status, you will merely nod and applaud. And the subject remains in limbo.
I won't be revisiting this author. I haven't the time or the inclination to be shouted at - especially by someone who has such a poor grasp of critical thinking. A few grains of truth do not make a good argument, but a few well-chosen words carry far more weight than this ill-mannered, hectoring diatribe.
Two stars are very generous.

Good, brief, read.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 11, 2020Verified Purchase
Designed to be brief and punchy. It aims to cover many points with a deliberate lack of intense in-depth explanation - which could easily be found elsewhere by anyone interested enough. Unfortunately it can be repetitious on some points and statements, an oversight in the effort to get the book out there whilst the likes of Greta Moanberg and A'lie Bore (Al Gore) are stomping around taking two faced tripe... so I can forgive it that. Love the book title but little Greta ain't going to be taking a day of school to read or research any of the points made. No the fanatical zealots of this vile little religion will just warm up the ad hominem attacks - Oh Zina, you denier. A special place in their wind powered hell for you. Like you will care : +)

The climate mafia will hate this
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 2, 2020Verified Purchase
A good little book for separating climate mafia Unithink (Unthink) from grounded practical information about reality. Nature works in cycles, never in straight lines. The climate mafia were shouting freeze, we'll all be frozen until Al Gore & co and then it was we'll be boiled. The real problem is our pollution, the climate is ALWAYS changing.

An excellent book.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 6, 2020Verified Purchase
The author tells it as it really is. The headlong plunge to follow the likes of this school girl by governments and liberals is incredible. The fable of how the IPCC know it all and the false statement of "the science is settled on AGW by all scientists" is debunked. The main worry, as the author states, is the cost of this falsehood, a cost that we are all paying and for no real good. A most worthy read.

Repetative or what?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 3, 2020Verified Purchase
This is written how I would expect Greta to write. So repetitive and without any cross references. So these counters are not worth much more than the the religious nonsense that the climate changers promote. She really had to stretch it out to make 100 chapters by repeating what was already written.
