In any objective field of science, if a theory fails the predictive requirement, then that theory is discarded. But in climate research not everything is at is appears. Exposed is the greenhouse gas chimera--mythical sky dragon.

The world has witnessed a frenzy of unverifiable claims that human emissions of a trace gas--carbon dioxide--are causing unprecedented global warming. Despite the relentless rise of levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), global temperatures refuse to show any statistically meaningful rise.

The Sky Dragon Slayers: Victory Lap reveals in forensic detail how the evidence relied upon by policymakers and environmentalists to swell alarm is mostly untrustworthy and bungled secret science manufactured by a clique of well-funded government researchers.

Long-held assumptions are depicted as fact, while unknowns and uncertainties, which should have been declared, are unethically cloaked in a veneer of confident predictions of impending doom and gloom.

Herein, unpicking this dilemma is a stellar team of authors and researchers--the Slayers of sky dragons. Among them are some of the world's foremost scientists. They include Dr. Tim Ball, the internationally renowned climatologist; Dr. Pierre R. Latour, a world-leading expert on carbon dioxide recently honored with a lifetime achievement award in science and Dr. George V. Chilingar, among the world's most decorated applied scientists who served the United Nations with distinction as science adviser.

The most astonishing conclusion reached, after thorough examination of all the evidence, is that carbon dioxide more likely cools, not warms our planet. It is the polar opposite of what consensus claims have told us. The biggest climate threat we face isn't warming, but a new ice age!

The book is a simple, yet clear and understandable outline of why the global hysteria over man-made global warming is a hoax. The Authors are scientists from around the world and make it clear they are dedicated to actual scientific proof and keeping politics out of science. Their approach is logical, straightforward, and clear even to a non-science guy like me. Other books I've read on the subject pale in comparison to this one. They leave no doubt about why the greenhouse gas charade is a lie.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wrong Science
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2020

I must begin by saying that I am skeptical about C02 causing dangerous warming. I am of the camp which says that the influence of CO2 is minor and that CO2 is essential for plant growth.

However this book says that the "greenhouse effect" does not exist. It claims that a cooler object (CO2) in the atmosphere cannot make something warmer (Earth). But the greenhouse effect is not that CO2 heats the Earth, it is that CO2 and other greenhouse gases act as a "jacket" to reduce the amount of heat lost by Earth.

The major greenhouse gas is water vapor, which humans do not influence. All the CO2 in the atmosphere contributes only 5% of the greenhouse effect. And of that 5%, the majority of CO2 comes from natural sources such as decaying vegetation and release of CO2 trapped in soil and oceans. Historic ice core records have shown that when the Earth warms, probably due to the Sun, CO2 levels rise hundreds of years later, as the warmth causes the natural sources to release some of their trapped CO2. To say CO2 causes warming is about like saying that using umbrellas causes rain.

The book is a little messy - nonetheless the authors have an important message that should be heeded by those setting government policy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good material spoiled by poor structure
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 9, 2021

Unfortunately this book keeps repeating tracts of text as if in an attempt to bulk out the volume and make it more impressive. In doing so it loses flow and logical structure. A pity, since there is some good material to find in its pages. I particularly liked the critique of IPCC’s assumption of greenhouse warming enhancement due to water vapour, which is a key assumption in their modelling. Using the different lapse rates for dry and humid locations a convincing argument is presented that water vapour has a cooling effect. This is supported by real world examples of cities on the same latitude but very different humidity.

Some facts in here mixed in with a lot of hubris and basic misconceptions.
Foremost, the GHG concept does NOT break the second law of thermodynamics - something the authors seem to take great relish in claiming.
The second law relates to equilibrium thermodynamics, i.e. NET flows of energy.
Net flows of heat will of course equilibrate an overall seen movement of radiation down a gradient, but that does not imply heat does not also go the other way. To claim such (as they do) would imply spooky action at a distance, i.e. the lower temp source does not emit in that direction as it "knows" about the other end of the gradient. Of course, it does not! It simply provides an insulating-like effect, and slows the overall (net) RATE OF COOLING of the higher temperature "end".
It is true that CO2 will not "heat up" the earth's temperature by driving NET heat UP the equilibrating gradient to earth - however by slowing the cooling rate it increases AVERAGE temperatures OVER TIME as earth cools. This means that night-time temps in particular are warmer with GHG presence than without, as the cooling at night is more noticeable. The same effect happens with clouds insulating at night to a much higher degree. Would they deny clouds insulate? Anyone knows this fact.
This is a fundamental error and misconception about the 2nd Law in their hypothesis ("spooky kinetics" vs real equilibrium thermodynamics).
With CO2 this effect is non-linear and the greatest insulation effect is in the first 20ppm. Additional 20ppm's provide less and less warming effect to the point where we are (400ppm) where the effect is almost negligible, due to absorption band saturation (any more is basically "unemployed" as all the IR it can absorb in its limited absorption bands is absorbed, and there is no more left in that region).
So overall this probably does more harm than good to global warming scepticism as a serious topic.
