You have been inundated with reports from media, governments, think tanks, and "experts" saying that our climate is changing for the worse, and it is our fault. Increases in droughts, heat waves, tornadoes, and poison ivy - to name a few - are all blamed on our "sins of emissions" from burning fossil fuels and increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Yet, you don't quite buy into this human-caused climate apocalypse. You aren't sure about the details because you don't have all the facts and likely aren't a scientist.

Inconvenient Facts was recorded specifically for you. Described in plain English and providing easy-to-understand information, Gregory Wrightstone presents the science to assess the basis of the threatening Thermageddon.The audiobook's 60 "inconvenient facts" come from government sources, peer-reviewed literature, or scholarly works, set forth in a way that is lucid and entertaining. The information will likely challenge your current understanding of many apocalyptic predictions about our ever dynamic climate. You will learn that the planet is improving, not in spite of increasing CO2 and rising temperature, but because of it. The very framework of the climate-catastrophe argument will be confronted with scientific fact.

Arm yourself with the truth.

Can't put this book down!

You'll enjoy this book if you fancy yourself an open-minded seeker of information and I think you'll enjoy this presentation of facts and history.

Well written and edited. I loved the perspective that this author brings to some very "heated" discussion on our climate. As I read the book, I thought that all his "inconvenient Facts" were well-presented with each point referencing the scientific studies which bring these facts to light.

If you are an AGW fanatic, you might want to read this book to expose yourself to some often-omitted facts about this earth's ever-changing climate. And then after reading the book with an open mind, if you still find yourself clinging unquestioningly to the religion of AGW, you should probably question yourself: why?

OTOH, if you question the religion of AGW because it seems eerily similar to so many other crises you've been hit with during your lifetime, you've been labeled a Denier, probably even called a Deplorable (or worse). Read this book and you'll come away with a much better perspective on why you've been questioning this "settled science" of AGW. Settled science? Even the term itself sounds like something Copernicus would have faced hundreds of years ago when proposing the sun as the center of the solar system, or more recently something the nuclear physicists of the early 1900's would have faced when questioning the immutability of Newtonian Physics. I'm a "settled science" skeptic!

Bottom line: loved the book.

The inconvenient truth about Al Gore is that he only took 2 science classes, and barely passed those. In case you didn't know, his predictions, like every other climate alarmist since the 1920's, were wrong. He did, however, major in religion, and has successfully created a new religion, Environmentalism, to which millions of uninformed people have blindly subscribed. Simple, concise and easy to read, this book shows how so-called "scientists" have taken studies and data and cherry-picked, changed, or otherwise misconstrued it to achieve a desired and false outcome. To hear supposedly educated people keep repeating "the polar bears will be extinct without the ice" makes me laugh every time, but it's just one of the myths of climate change that people really believe. Polar bears use ice floes for the same reason you take the bus- it's just easier. Like us, they're not stupid, just a little lazy. The polar ice caps have melted before, and the bears did just fine. In fact, they're doing better now in places that have no ice left than in places that have ice (more food). More CO2 in the atmosphere means more moisture in the air and soil, which means more plants, more food, and healthier animals and humans. I asked a local meteorologist why he (and 99% of all meteorologists) didn't believe in "man-made global climate change". He said, "Because I already have a job." You'll notice the only meteorologists and physicists who do subscribe to it work for government-funded "associations" or foreign governments, and say, "Yes, we believe, so the U.S. and Germany need to give us some money, so we can combat this". This is the biggest fraud in human history. Read this book, it's only about 125 pages, and stop listening to all those people who have a political or monetary agenda. Warm is good (for everybody). Oh, by the way: It's not "97%" of scientists who believe in man-made climate change- it's less than 3%. Al lied, based on a "study" that was false, and the environmentalists just keep repeating it over and over, hoping eventually it will be accepted as fact. It is not "settled science", except in the minds of the climate police. And FYI- neither England nor Florida have been submerged yet, as has been predicted over and over for the past hundred years. Just sayin'. Look up petitionproject online to see the petition 31,000 real scientists sent to congress.

I was recommended to Inconvenient Facts by a friend and on first read was completely taken in. I told my son the headlines from the book, and he decided to thoroughly check it out. He found that it was a blatant misrepresentation of the facts and took several hours walking me through each of the facts which cherry picked data to fit the authors thesis. It really makes we mad. Who paid to have this written?

Few Things Are Truly "Settled" in Science...Climate Change Isn't One of Them

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

Wrightstone's "Inconvenient Facts" is a prolific collection of analyses on various common climate change topics that are frequently referred to by those in the media and society who would claim that the climate apocalypse is upon us. But through careful study and presentation of real facts and real evidence, this book addresses each issue frequently brought up by alarmists and explains how, rather than being on the brink of self-destruction, we're actually doing pretty well here on Earth. The bottom line is that Earth has been changing and will continue to change for billions of years, but the human contribution and impact in these changes is ultimately negligible in the grand scheme of Earth's existence.

I would highly recommend this book to everyone who has doubts, or just wants the full picture, of the frequently raised issues that are commonly heard in (especially) the liberal media and such groups. Science should not be politicized, ever, or at least we should avoid it as much as possible. So-called climate change has been immensely politicized to the extent that now science is being misrepresented, and the scientific method itself has been thrown out the window. To the reader, please take a look at this book and consider each point carefully and openly.

Presents the actual data on all aspects of the global warming/climate change issue, showing that climate change is mostly natural and does not threaten mankind. The data show no correlation between atmospheric temperature and CO2, therefore reducing CO2 by reducing fossil fuels will not affect temperature and will forego many benefits, mostly harming lower income people and underdeveloped populations. The data does not support the claim that severe weather events are increasing, not in frequency or intensity. The geologic temperature record shows that the earth's atmosphere has been warmer than today numerous times in the past when CO2 levels were lower.

Easy Read, Approach to Science is of course exactly right.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 25, 2018

I bought this book recently, easy read took me 5-6 hours. I'm a scientist and understood the limitations of pushing back on the massive supporting industry and their approaches to pushing this apocalyptic version of our future. The only question I was left with is what on earth can we do, I have written many times to my MP, got 'most scientists agree' but they will forward my concerns. The BBC no longer have the 'have your say' option on their website. Forums are full of those who just know the answer and 'I should be prosecuted for my views'. All in all the book put it really clearly and it's a shame nobody apart from those who know the problem will buy let alone listen to the simple truth in the arguments. I fear we are all really doomed. Congratulations to the author.

Inconvenient Facts which are true!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 29, 2018

Gregory Wrightstone starts his book with this appropriate quote from H. L. Mencken:

" The whole aim of practical politics is is to keep the populace alarmed -- and hence clamorous to be led to safety -- by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary".

Pursuing this theme, later in the book, when discussing "97%Consensus - What Consensus?" he quotes appropriately from Joseph Goebbels as follows:
" If you tell a big enough lie and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it".

Like me, Wrightstone is a geologist who takes a necessarily very long-term view of Earth history when considering the question of Climate Change, as opposed to the very short term view taken by climate activists, politicians and the media in their scaremongering. After outlining the relevant scientific facts about carbon dioxide and temperature he goes on to systematically destroy each and every one of the current global warming myths, by scientific reasoning and drawing our attention to what happened in past geological time.This has been done many times before, notably by Ian Plimer and Robert Carter, but Wrightstone brings the argument up to date, referring to more than 150 scientific and official papers, many of which have been published in the last two or three years, and which back up his line of reasoning. The book concludes with a summary list of 60 " inconvenient facts ", and a section headed "The Benefits of Principled Inaction" in which he states that the first and most important conclusion is that the correct policy to address the non-problem of man-made global warming is to have the courage to do nothing . This is a very welcome antidote to the exaggerations and distortions of the "warmists".

More Light, Less Heat

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 9, 2018

When Al Gore wrote ‘An inconvenient truth’, he made an impassioned argument for mankind to get to grips with global warming. That is, the disastrous consequences to our planet of man-made greenhouse gas pollution and the subsequent temperature increase, leading to the melting of the earth’s polar ice caps. He backed his view with post-modernist definitions of ‘truth’ (i.e. what a lot of people believe), ‘science’ (i.e. what many government-financed models show) and ‘reality’ (i.e. it must be so because it sounds plausible).
What has been lacking is independent evidence to support Gore’s assertions. In this book, Gregory Wrightstone, a geologist with actual expertise in climate change, provides such evidence…and the evidence does not support Gore’s position. Why is it that actual scientific data disagrees with the climate models? Is there too much or too little carbon dioxide in the air just before we are due to enter the next ice age? Is the earth’s temperature actually increasing at an alarming rate as per Michael Moore’s ‘hockey stick’ model?
Is it possible that reason has given way to emotion? That what we are witnessing is a hoax being propagated on the general public, and that the goodness in people is being exploited for political ends? It is interesting that a co-chair of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recently revealed the real reason for pursuing a policy on climate change: "We redistribute de facto the world's wealth by climate policy," said Edenhofer. “One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with the environmental policy anymore.” This all begins to sound like Marxism in disguise.
‘Inconvenient Facts’ provides vital information and light at a time when we have too much heat and activism pushing the general public into accepting a lie. This book provides easy to read charts and graphs. It reveals ice core data showing actual long-term trends, rather than cherry-picking short-term data. It is such a big lie that the population genuinely ends up believing it rather than remaining sceptical to such a politically motivated and financially corrupt scheme.

I have always been suspicious of the ‘mob mentality’ or ‘groupthink’ claims on the issue of climate change. This book dispels many, if not all, the myths peddled by the Climate Change zealots and doom mongers. Used to be just one barmy guy on the corner holding The End is Nigh placard, now we have a whole army of them, supported by the loony false news MSM.

Real science says we need more CO2 not less

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 14, 2019

I liked the clear manner in which the information was presented and its foundation on science, not "consensus". It shows the Al Gore inconvenient truth to be inconvenient lies.
As CO2 makes up a tiny% of our atmosphere, its influence on climate change is much exaggerated. CO2 is necessary for plant growth so the more the merrier. If we grow more plants, we can feed more people.
