Description

Sample Book Insights:
#1 I am not a scientist, but I do regularly appear on television to expose the unscientific claims about catastrophic man-made climate change. I have spent the last twenty-five years in a variety of disciplines, including as a working journalist, documentary maker, radio talk show host, and author.
#2 I am a climate skeptic, a doubter, and a dissenter. I have been smeared as a denier. But I am not alone in my skepticism. I work regularly with a large network of internationally renowned scientists, many of them formerly of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
#3 I started out my political life as an eleven-year-old volunteer for Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign. I was not a fan of James Watt, Reagan’s Interior secretary, as I was upset by his land-use policies and by what I perceived to be his anti-environmental stances.
#4 My documentary refuted the myth that environmentalists and celebrities are the friends of indigenous people. I spoke with the tribal leaders who have contempt for environmental activists and celebrities because they feel exploited by them.

#1

I am not a scientist, but I do regularly appear on television to expose the unscientific claims about catastrophic man-made climate change. I have spent the last twenty-five years in a variety of disciplines, including as a working journalist, documentary maker, radio talk show host, and author.

#2

I am a climate skeptic, a doubter, and a dissenter. I have been smeared as a denier. But I am not alone in my skepticism. I work regularly with a large network of internationally renowned scientists, many of them formerly of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

#3

I started out my political life as an eleven-year-old volunteer for Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign. I was not a fan of James Watt, Reagan’s Interior secretary, as I was upset by his land-use policies and by what I perceived to be his anti-environmental stances.

#4

My documentary refuted the myth that environmentalists and celebrities are the friends of indigenous people. I spoke with the tribal leaders who have contempt for environmental activists and celebrities because they feel exploited by them.

#5

I went to work for the U. S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee under then-chairman Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma in 2006. From 2006 to 2009, I was the committee’s director of communications and the speechwriter for the senator on green issues.

#6

Climate change, whether man-made or not, is a threat to every aspect of your life. The solutions proposed by the UN and their scientists will have enormous impacts on land use, prices, the world’s economy, and even our national sovereignty.

#7

There are many people who don’t believe in climate change, and they’re often ridiculed by the media and scientists. But even the Obama administration EPA chief has admitted that there would be no measurable climate impact from the proposed remedies.

#8

The notion that a UN agreement to limit emissions will somehow alter the Earth’s temperature or storminess borders on belief in witchcraft.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

Everyone seems to be warning about the dangers of climate change.

#2

The world is running a fever, and the effects will be dire. As another commentator noted, Snows are less frequent and less deep. They do not often lie, below the mountains, more than one, two or three days, and very rarely a week.

#3

People have been worrying about a changing climate for quite some time. And for more than 100 years, skeptics have been calling them out on the evidence.

#4

People in every era believe that their time on Earth features unprecedented weather, but they haven’t always blamed it on warming. In the 1970s, there were fears of a coming ice age.

#5

Many global warming experts are also experts on the ice age that they believe is coming.

#6

Some scientists blamed the supposed global cooling trend on airplanes. As the New York Times reported in 1975, A federally sponsored inquiry into the effects of possible climate changes caused by heavy supersonic traffic in the stratosphere has concluded that even a slight cooling could cost the world $200 billion to $500 billion in damage done to agriculture, public health and other effects.

#7

In the 1970s, ABC News featured warnings of global cooling on the evening news program. Harry Reasoner introduced the segment, noting, An editorial in the Hartford Courant in 1897 actually said it, although Mark Twain usually gets the credit, ‘Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.

#8

In the 1970s, the media began to panic about global cooling, and even warned of highly erratic weather for decades to come. But in today’s climate change coverage, the media is completely in the tank for climate change.

#9

The UN’s involvement in climate change ensured that there would be only one acceptable view on the subject: that a man-made climate crisis was at hand.

#10

The IPCC’s motivation is to generate media impact for their reports. They were embarrassed by the media attention given to NASA scientist James Hansen’s testimony about the urgency of global warming in 1988.

#11

The theatrical hearing was orchestrated in part by Senators Al Gore and Timothy Wirth, as revealed in a 2007 PBS Frontline special. Hansen was allowed to continue working for NASA even though he had violated the agency’s official position on climate forecasting.

#12

The armadillo has been used as a mascot for both the global cooling scare in the 1970s and the global warming scare today. ABC News has cited the expansion of the animal’s range as evidence for both scares.
Insights from Chapter 3

#1

The climate change consensus is that 97 percent of scientists agree that climate change is happening and that it is manmade. However, this figure is completely false.

#2

The 97 percent consensus talking point has taken in even climate scientists.

#3

I debated Maslin, and he said that there are 5000 UN scientists who support the idea that man-made global warming is a serious problem. I countered that the professor needed to retract it.

#4

The 2010 debate with warmist professor Mark Maslin was analyzed by rhetoric professor Jean Goodwin of North Carolina State University. She found that I had performed well, and that it was a remarkable bit of oratory on my part to have been prepared to attack Maslin’s arguments in such detail.

#5

The notion that hundreds or thousands of UN scientists agree that climate change is man-made and a threat to the world is not true. In fact, the key scientific case for CO2 driving global warming was reached by a small gaggle of people.

#6

The so-called consensus that man is driving global warming is actually just political. In many cases, even the boards of the science organizations have not even cast votes on the statements, as was the case with the Royal Society of Canada.

#7

Many science organizations have faced open rebellion from their skeptical member scientists for these politically inspired actions.
