About this listen

 The big media have spoken on the question of global warming, and the debate is officially over. "Be afraid, be very afraid", warns Time magazine. But have Al Gore and his environmentalist allies really proven their case? Not even close, says Christopher C. Horner.

In The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming (and Environmentalism), he exposes the shoddy science, plain dishonesty, and hidden political agenda behind the biggest phony environmental scare since, well, since green predictions of catastrophic global cooling in the 1970s.

The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming (and Environmentalism) provides a provocative, entertaining, and well documented exposé of some of the most shamelessly politicized pseudoscience we are likely to see in our relatively cool lifetimes.

Very deep and good overall, but a little anti-European and pro-American, for no apparent reason...

Although the book is now some 12 years old, it is never the less very informative both about the history and politics associated with Global Warming (Climate Change) concerns. The content seems to be well referenced from reliable sources and sounds (at least) genuine; I felt that much of the information was very believable, more so in fact than some of the claims made by the lobby group promoting anthropogenic Climate Change. The book does not argue that Global Warming is not taking place but it does contest the fact that it is solely the result of man's activities and it is very scathing of the proposed plans for spending vast amounts of money in a quest to stabilise greenhouse gases. The insights into political shenanigans on all sides are interesting if not particularly surprising. One implication is that Europe, through the UN, actually promoted the original UNFCCC treaty with a view to tempering US industrial growth. The last chapter on the UNFCCC is itself well worth a listen. Bottom line is that after reading a few books on Climate Change of late I have become increasingly skeptical of what our administrators are trying to do both with our money and minds!!

I can’t recommend this book more highly. As scientist myself I can concur with the idea that the science is far from settled and if you’re open minded and amenable to rationale though this is surely a good read. The World would be a better place with more books that provide critical thinking as it’s surely lacking in the political and media spheres currently.

If you take a look at the picture at the paperback book cover the bottom of the book says that Mr Horner is a senior fellow of the Competitive Enterprise Institute. One of the CEI's major funders is ExxonMobil, which has somewhat of an incentive to doubt climate change. The fact that Mr Horner is a business man and not a scientist is also notable.

Paid for by fossil fuel industry’s ExxonMobil?

1% dealing with anything environmental, 99% badmouthing anything red, communist or socialist. 100% about Merika being sooo put upon and dear sweet little ol' capitalists being so hard done by. A crock of shite!

truly awful
