Another indispensable book is “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism” by Christopher C. Horner. Horner was a member of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) until he found that the panel’s reports were deliberately distorting the data to “support” the AGW “hypothesis”, solely for the purpose of increasing governmental controls over the economies of First World nations.
It’s a book that’s hard to find in public libraries- my own copy came from my local library’s “Friends Of” bookstore, because it was donated to the library for the library’s collection- and promptly shuffled off because the library board didn’t want it available for checkout. (Books by Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, etc., invariably meet similar fates, but Michael Bellesisles’ “Arming America” is still on the shelf in non-fiction, believe it or not.)
The best part of Horner’s book (besides his inside account of the ongoing fraud at IPCC) is the collection of damning quotes from AGW gurus in the sidebars. One of the best is on page 133;
“We have 25 or so years invested in the work. Why should I make the data available to you, when your aim is to try and find something wrong with it?”
Said quote being from “Hockey Stick” co-creator and recently-”reassigned” CRU head, Phil Jones, in a letter to Warwick Hughes.
Apparently, Dr. Jones never heard of the idea of having somebody else check the work. Either that, or he wanted to make sure it would only be “checked” by someone who shared the AGW (i.e., Utopian/nihilistically anti-humanity) agenda.
Well, the Spanish Inquisition wasn’t noted for welcoming contrarian views on who was or wasn’t an apostate, either.
