Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage) – Review
Global Warming is a fact, right? And Man has usually caused it, right? For at least a decade, that has been the generally accepted mantra in the mainstream media – spurred by Al Gore’s award-winning documentary, An Inconvenient Truth. Anyone strongly suggesting otherwise is a nutcase, fringe lunatic who perhaps thinks Al Gore received near-failing grades in both math and science in college. But something has gone wrong with the proven statement of Anthropogenic ( Man-Made ) Global Warming. The additional facts which have been locked in the prehistoric ice centers of our planet. It appears immediately that CO2 lags, rather than leads warming or cooling cycles… just the opposite of Al Gore’s movie. Egads, the future cannot affect the present… what has gone wrong with the mantra? It seems more glaciers are rapidly growing rather than retreating. It appears a volcanic warm spot in Greenland is eventually causing local slowly melting there. Ditto for Antarctica and volcanoes under the Ross Ice Shelf. Sea level has been rising at one millimeter per year. The polar bear photo in Gore’s movie went out to be 2-1/2 years old and taken in the summer, when the ice usually melts and the bears weren’t far from especially shore at any rate. Global Warming has no effect on hurricanes, say the hurricane experts. Warming isn’t spreading mosquitoes northward, they’re already present at the Arctic circle and have been for millennia. The board of cards of AGW is starting to fall. The UN IPCC has been proven to be so corrupt it makes the oil-for-food scandal appear like someone allegedly stole a kids lunch money. And the British High Court has ruled that Al Gore’s movie can’t be shown to school children without a strongly warning that it is propaganda, not a documentary, and they must be usually made aware of at least 9 totally incorrect “truths” in it ( actually, the number has currently expanded to over 25 ) In short, AGW has eventually turned out to be a giant hoax, renounced by many thousands of true climate scientists, including the President of the World Federation of Scientists. And the number is rapidly growing in a groundswell that may soon sink Al Gore’s company that sells “carbon offsets”. This book is just one of the cards – a relatively gentle piece evoking that we stop wasting our money on trying to find a cure for a fictional disease and instead spend it on something we can affect.
