Publisher's summary

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.

Hot topic: listen to more about global warming.

Must Read

If you have any doubt at all regarding the science and truthfulness of Al Gore and his band of mindless followers then give this book a listen.

I used to think Religion was one of the worst users of peoples fears to get their way, but there is a new contender. Global Warming Alarmist might even be more dangerous than Religion for taking away a persons ability to see both sides of an issue. They use every trick in a Cult handbook with practiced ease and modern skill.

This book is not about how perfect humans are, or that there is no need for improvement. It is a here-to-fore unseen side of the issue. The critical side that requires acknowledgment and not to be simply tossed aside as a EXXON shill. It may shock people to realize that questioning god does not make you the devil. (Although if you do belive that then don't bother reading this book. It will just upset you.)

This book is a good starting place. If you don't belive the authors claims look them up for yourself. The evidence is there and some people (like me) need to be nudged in the right direction. I never questioned the greenhouse effect. Why whould I? What would they have to gain? Therein lay Al Gore brilliance! because, in fact, they have much to gain.

Even though I know how a real greenhouse works I never noticed how silly the global greenhouse argument is until I gave it the slightest thought and most likly wouldn't have unless I read this book.

I don't want the enviroment to be wrecked because of me, but I'm not going to buy every air-headed claim that I'm to blame when I'm not. It's in my best interest to find out.

Enjoy if nothing else the arguments, life isn't as black and white as Al Gore whould like you to think.

Eye Opener

Humorous and well written. Will be attacked by the usual suspects.

Watermelons

Excellent, common sense, well-documented book about the real reason so many otherwise obviously sane and intelligent people claim to believe the incredible apocalyptic claims of global warming. It is their way of pushing for total government after the Communist plans for world domination didn't work out for them. The forces now at the forefront of this world-wide effort to destroy free market capitalism and put all power in government dictatorships are the former Communists who now call themselves "Greens" --hence watermelons, green on the outside and red on the inside. The author knows these people and their organizations and tactics and he tells about them in this book in an entertaining way for such a serious subject.

Great Book

If your like me and sick and tired of hearing about "global warming". This book is for you!!! All the Al-Goreanites might not appreciate to elegance in which this book is written.

Not great for Audio

This type of book definitely lends itself more toward print. There are too many references, and asides that don't work well in an audio format. If you have the option, I would choose the print edition of this book.

fresh

Very good research!!!

Incorrect, period

The author is right that there is much exaggeration by environmentalists. But he thinks the remedy is exaggeration on the other side. It is no help in sorting out the conflicting claims on this issue.

Frustratingly Terrible

I have no side of the arguments as I like to gather all facts before deciding my stance on something.

Unfortunately this audible book seems to be for people who want to hear what they want to hear. It was very limited on factual sources and a lot of “trust me” statements.

I hate that I felt the need to listen through till the end.

Outdated and full of lies

I try to read/listen to as many points of view on this issue to be fully informed, but this book is an outdated hit piece against the science of GW. First, the green movement to lower CO2 is NOT about energy reduction; it’s about producing energy without producing CO2. Contrary to the assertion in this book, no one want anyone to pay more for energy, and as of 2020, both wind and solar produce electricity cheaper than coal or natural gas. The book asserts that the earth is not warming, yet it had clearly warmed for over a decade before publication, and there have been 13 years of record breaking temperatures since then.
The author attempts to use the fact that scientists still get paid to study the climate as proof that the debate on whether the planet is warming isn’t settled. Over the last decade over 1800 articles have been published on GW with only 3 calling the basic fact into question. That’s as close to settled as anything people discuss: for certain, the earth is warming, and that will harm civilized mankind. The only questions left are by how much and how soon, and of course, what we should do about it. This book isn’t helpful in any regard. Unless you’re obsessed with reading all opinions, skip this hit piece.

great narrator; poor resource

I did not like this audiobook. I had to delete it by chapter 3. it felt like I was listening to Fox news. tons of opinions, and no evidence. thought I might learn something. I was wrong.
