From the Inside Flap

"Global warming":

the Left's last best chance to gain a stranglehold on our political system and economy

For decades, environmentalism has been the Left's best excuse for increasing government control over our actions in ways both large and small. It's for Mother Earth! It's for the children! It's for the whales! But until now, the doomsday-scenario environmental scares they've trumped up haven't been large enough to justify the lifestyle restrictions they want to impose. With global warming, however, greenhouse gasbags can argue that auto emissions in Ohio threaten people in Paris, and that only "global governance" (Jacques Chirac's words) can tackle such problems.

Now, in The Politically Incorrect Guide(tm) to Global Warming and Environmentalism, Christopher C. Horner tears the cover off the Left's manipulation of environmental issues for political purposes--and lays out incontrovertible evidence for the fact that catastrophic man-made global warming is just more Chicken-Little hysteria, not actual science. He explains why, although Al Gore and his cronies among the media elites and UN globalists endlessly bleat that "global warming" is an unprecedented global crisis, they really think of it as a dream come true. It's the ideal scare campaign for those who hate capitalism and love big government. For, as Horner explains, if global warming really were as bad as the Leftist doomsayers insist it is, then no policy imaginable could "solve" it. According to the logic of the greens' own numbers, no matter how much we sacrifice there would still be more to do. That makes global warming the bottomless well of excuses for the relentless growth of big government.

Horner (an attorney and senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute) reveals the full anti-American, anti-capitalist, and anti-human agenda of today's environmentalists, dubbing them "green on the outside, red to the core." He details how they use strong-arm legal tactics--and worse--against those who dare to point out the weakness of their arguments for global warming. Along the way, he explodes ten top global warming myths, carefully examining the evidence to determine how much warming there really is and what is actually causing it. He exposes the lies that the environmental lobby routinely tells to make its case; the ways in which it is trying to impose initiatives such as the Kyoto Protocol on an unwilling American public; and much more--including the green lobby's favorite politicians (John Kerry, John McCain, Joe Lieberman, and others).

It's time to stand up to the environmentalist industry and insist: human beings are not the enemy. In breezy, light-hearted, and always entertaining fashion, The Politically Incorrect Guide(tm) to Global Warming and Environmentalism gives you the facts you need to do so.

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2019
While I've never doubted that we have constant climate change, I've always been a skeptic about how much mankind has contributed to the process. I come from a background in finance, economics, and systems, and studying the body politic for over 50 years. I learned long ago, to never accept anything as settled, especially when it comes to science. This book has very much brought to light the research and data which the alarmists and globalists conveniently ignore. It also points out with certainty, that the "Kyoto Accords" are, at their core, nothing but a money grab by socialized economies. And since it conveniently lets China, India, Korea, and many more developing economies, off the financial hook, one has to wonder why; this book nails it.

Yet, here we are more than ten years after this scholarly work, and the Socialist/Fascists of the world are still smitten with a fantasy of controlling weather and climate. An effort of fools and criminals.

This book should be required reading for anyone over the age of 12. It's written clearly and concisely, and offers the real facts about how our climate works. For instance, none of the so-called climate models take into consideration things like water vapor, clouds, and solar activity; all of which affect the climate over the years. The alarmists, until forced into it, completely neglected the early warmth of the middle ages, and the Little Ice Age, which affected the world until the mid-19th Century.

Keep this kinds of books coming. They are invaluable.

Find the real reasons behind this global hysteria. Read facts you weren't supposed to learn. Did you know it was much warmer in the Middle Ages than now? We are coming out of a Little Ice Age? Climate goes in cycles? Gore's models have fudged the charts to eliminate any natural ups and down in climate. What is Kyoto all about anyway? Try global governance, Europe and other parts of the world getting control over US politics and economics. The author calls today's Greens yesterday's Reds, which is true. The Greens/Reds tried to freak people out with scares of Global Cooling as late as the 90s. We read how Gore used phony computer animation in his film. Global warming? If it's Global, why is the Southern Hemisphere not affected? Did you know that Gore's science "experts" included a gynecologist, a landscaper, and an expert in Chinese medicine, but only ONE climatologist? The Left and Greens and other concerned-about-humans phonies don't care a whit that higher taxes would hurt the poor most of all, and Kyoto would force the poor to choose between electricity and food. All while the filthiest countries, like China, are exempt from the restrictions. Why do Leftists complain about Big Oil whenever the price of gas goes up, but the Lefties in Europe don't even though they pay double the price of gasoline in Europe? Taxes. The left has no problem with outrageous prices when they are caused by taxes. Find out why humanists don't actually want to feed the world and call for forced abortion and legal restrictions on family size. There are even samples in this book of press documents by groups like Greenpeace. Blanks are left in those press releases for the member to INSERT HIS OWN ALARMIST IDEA in that blank. There are great quotes by the caring Green/Reds, illustrating their love of humanity. Check this quote by Charles Wursta, chief scientist for the Environmental Defense Fund, when asked about the millions who would likely die if DDT was banned: "That's as good a way to get rid of them as any."

These are the same idiots who believe that the earth being less than a degree warmer is more dangerous than insane terrorists spreading out in countries and plotting attacks.

If you are a skeptic, aka sensible person not giving in to hysteria, read this book. Get it while it's still legal to have an opposing opinion. Then read how Gore will shut up anyone who disagrees with him, one way or another. Scary stuff here. Scarier than Global Warming!

Another example of how, as the saying attributed to Benjamin Disraeli goes, there's "Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics". Like many things ( or I should say most things ) when one "follows the money" it often leads to the perpetrator. I remember when my children were small and had all those "why" questions they always do. Other than "why is the sky blue" type questions, the answer, as any good detective will tell you, is usually because of money. Make no mistake, "Global Warming" is about two things, politics and money.

The liberal scare mongering left would want us all to believe that without more government intervention ( which always translates into higher taxes and costs ) we will never survive the latest world ending tragedy upon us. Or as the author humorously notes, their publications about the end of the world always seem to have an annual renewal card enclosed ! The author develops a great case how the Kyoto Protocol is really about controlling Energy Policy. It was rejected by the US and 155 other countries, representing the majority of the world's economic activity and its population. It is a European treaty with one dozen others of which NONE are in fact currently reducing their emissions. How do the BRIC countries feel, Brazil, Russia, India and China ? They are all for having these major countries sign on. Why ? The cost to meet these impossible standards are of such staggering proportions that they gleefully declare "you, but not us". We would only become even more non-competitive with these countries as we are forced to raise our prices astronomically to adhere to the treaty. If you think you have seen jobs lost to overseas countries recently, just wait. "Cap and Trade" is a direct result of this policy, showing us once again how great sums of capital can be realized by producing nothing. I give credit to the people who dream these schemes up though, enriching themselves greatly while impoverishing others. Hey, just another day in the boardroom. OK I admit it, I'm jealous, I actually have to work and produce to earn a paycheck.

And of course, let's not forget, George Bush, who is evil incarnate. He is solely to blame for all the world's problems ( I know this because my liberal friends tell me so, he was even responsible for hurricane Katrina ! ) but none of the positives that may have come about, such as the recent handing over of Iraq's Anbar province to its people, or the successful foiling of terrorists activity within our country's borders. Just a minute while I count up how many attacks since 9/11. Oh, that was easy, it would be NONE. Then we have Nancy Pelosi ( the failed author now ) who is "Trying to save the planet " by refusing to act in the interests of the American people( I thought that was her job )and allow any drilling which would go a long way in helping America become more energy independent. Just as a side note, why haven't any more of those annoying actors and other celebs left the country yet anyway ? They did promise if Bush won a few years back didn't they ? OK, there was Johnny Depp, now living in France. But other than J.D. could it be the simple fact that because it is better here than anywhere else ?

Now, how are the statistics used to prejudice facts you may ask. On page 40 the author explains- "A combination of the absurdities occurred when President Bush introduced his 'Clear Skies Initiative'. This set of regulations aimed to reduce sulphur dioxide emissions by a projected 73 percent, mercury by 69 percent, and nitrogen oxides by 67 percent. Natural Resources Defense Council and their cohorts decried this policy as an increase in pollution. They charged that Bush's policy would triple mercury emissions and increase sulphur by 50 percent. You see, the greens were advocating even stricter rules promising even larger emission reductions, enabling them to characterize 'Clear Skies' as an 'increase,' if only relative to the plans they had drawn up in their fancy offices".

Now I am weak in math but I believe their logic goes something like this - I ( the greenie ) ask for a 60% reduction, and you ( the evil Bush ) want to give me ONLY 40%. Therefore you are giving me an increase of 50% ( add 50% of 40, or 20, to the number 40 and it is now 60 and VOILA - since I wanted 60% and I only got 40%, so you have given me an increase of 50%, not a decrease. This is ENRON type math at the very best. Apparently the facts don't matter when dealing with these people.

Statistical Example #2- the greens would have you believe that based on weather station reporting that the earth's mean temperature is warming. The definition of mean will play no factor in their number. Why ? Because they fail to include the fact that reporting weather stations that were once included were in very cold areas of Russia. As the country began falling apart economically, they took those stations offline, thereby removing those LOW numbers that used to be included, thereby leading to higher overall numbers. Using my weak math skills again, I believe it's like this. I have a series of 20 numbers - 10 are 10 and 10 are 6. The average is 100+60 = 160, now divided by 20 = 8. I introduce the new weather readings( excuse me, numbers ) and have the following after taking the lower reporting stations offline ( sorry, I mean lower numbers out ). I now have the following set of numbers - 10 are still 10 but now only 6 are now 6. This gives me a total of 100+36 = 136. Divide 136 by 16 and the number is 8.5. Oh my word, the temperature of the earth has risen - based on my ( faulty ) SCIENTIFIC METHOD by .5 degrees or statistically by 6.25%. The result is a catastrophic scenario and a huge problem as my "statistical research" just "proved"
( actually, it's only a problem for those interested in keeping the "scientific method" scientific however ).

By the way, the above mentioned 6.25% is an example of how one uses statistics to "prove the point", or as more intelligent, unemotional, nothing financially to gain people may say - "Lie".

Follow the money. Many of the people pushing this agenda also have much to gain financially as new regulations are put into effect. Just look into how much Al Gore has at stake as these regulations become legally mandatory. In case you were not aware, Al Gore has joined Silicon Valley's Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers Venture capital firm. As luck would have it, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers specializes in alternative energy investments. So Al is in a position to greatly profit by the efforts to offset the disasters that are attributed to Global Warming.

The author also discusses that while there are some glaciers receding there are also other glaciers increasing. For some reason we never hear about that but instead get pictures of a polar bear "stranded" on a block of ice floating in the middle of nowhere. Great picture, and really was worth a thousand words but sorry, I was under the impression that polar bears could somehow swim ? ( They can by the way, regardless of what others may try and tell you ). Besides, I have it on good authority that particular bear was simply tired and took a rest by hitching a ride to his next stop. And those great pictures showing the large slabs of ice falling off the icebergs, more "proof" the planet is heating up - or not. The scientific term is "calving" and the author explains how it happens because the iceberg has actually gotten to large to maintain its size so these pieces breaking off happen as a normal course of events and are in no way related to "Global Warming".

If they can keep us in fear, we can be told to turn to them ( government ) for more intervention and regulation to help solve the problems. After all, we all know it worked out so well with their handling of social security and the national debt.

Finally, one of the things the green machine really hates is for someone who decides to learn about this subject to bring up the fact that wasn't it just recently they were predicting we were going to perish from a new ICE AGE ? Or as stated by Nigel Calder in International Wildlife, June of 1975, " The threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind". And there was Paul Ehrlich who stated in his 1968 book, "The Population Bomb" that " the battle to feed humanity is over. In the 1970s and 1980s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now". Where did they hide all those bodies anyway ? Oh, I forgot, we are facing a population explosion as well as increased obesity epidemics. But don't ever let the facts get in the way of a good story.

EXAMPLE - please read the few RECENT short articles below regarding global warming at links below. The Science strongly disputes what the Eco's would have you believe

A refreshing and revealing look @ Glöbal Warming with pages of facts and common sense text showing how the general public are being conned in the con trick of all time. You may have wondered where the communists went when communism went down the tubes. They have resurfaced as watermelons ( green on the outside; red on the inside) and they STILL want to impost strict state control of industry and tax the rest of us out of existence. Odd really; only Communist states managed ( and China still manages)to wreck the environment in the name of "progress" . How come the capitalist nations are the cleanest nations with the greatest respect for the environment?

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent starter if you have doubts over the Global Warming scam!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 18, 2011
A very witty and fact filled piece of work. I have read various books on this topic (With my favourite being The Real Global Warming Disaster, by Christopher Booker).

Booker's book is very long and more complex than this piece. However, if anybody has doubts over man made climate change, I thoroughly recommend this book as a starter.

Although it has over 300 pages, it really doesn't take long for you to read. (Infact, the "Politically Incorrect Guide's" are very straight forward and easy to read)

A very good book, and one that should be on the school curriculum, instead of all the junk, hysterical, fictional science the mainstream are shoving down our throats
