The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming-Christopher C Horner (2007)

Book Description This latest installment in the P.I.G. series provides a provocative, entertaining, and well-documented expose of some of the most shamelessly politicized pseudo-science we are likely to see in our relatively cool lifetimes. From the Inside Flap \"Global warming\":the Left\'s last best chance to gain a stranglehold on our political system and economy For decades, environmentalism has been the Left\'s best excuse for increasing government control over our actions in ways both large and small. It\'s for Mother Earth! It\'s for the children! It\'s for the whales! But until now, the doomsday-scenario environmental scares they\'ve trumped up haven\'t been large enough to justify the lifestyle restrictions they want to impose. With global warming, however, greenhouse gasbags can argue that auto emissions in Ohio threaten people in Paris, and that only \"global governance\" (Jacques Chirac\'s words) can tackle such problems. Now, in The Politically Incorrect Guide(tm) to Global Warming and Environmentalism, Christopher C. Horner tears the cover off the Left\'s manipulation of environmental issues for political purposes--and lays out incontrovertible evidence for the fact that catastrophic man-made global warming is just more Chicken-Little hysteria, not actual science. He explains why, although Al Gore and his cronies among the media elites and UN globalists endlessly bleat that \"global warming\" is an unprecedented global crisis, they really think of it as a dream come true. It\'s the ideal scare campaign for those who hate capitalism and love big government. For, as Horner explains, if global warming really were as bad as the Leftist doomsayers insist it is, then no policy imaginable could \"solve\" it. According to the logic of the greens\' own numbers, no matter how much we sacrifice there would still be more to do. That makes global warming the bottomless well of excuses for the relentless growth of big government. Horner (an attorney and senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute) reveals the full anti-American, anti-capitalist, and anti-human agenda of today\'s environmentalists, dubbing them \"green on the outside, red to the core.\" He details how they use strong-arm legal tactics--and worse--against those who dare to point out the weakness of their arguments for global warming. Along the way, he explodes ten top global warming myths, carefully examining the evidence to determine how much warming there really is and what is actually causing it. He exposes the lies that the environmental lobby routinely tells to make its case; the ways in which it is trying to impose initiatives such as the Kyoto Protocol on an unwilling American public; and much more--including the green lobby\'s favorite politicians (John Kerry, John McCain, Joe Lieberman, and others). It\'s time to stand up to the environmentalist industry and insist: human beings are not the enemy. In breezy, light-hearted, and always entertaining fashion, The Politically Incorrect Guide(tm) to Global Warming and Environmentalism gives you the facts you need to do so.

The title is just a little too long. I suggest "The Incorrect Guide to Global Warming".
What gets me about this synopsis is that it's almost entirely about political opportunism. There's very little here about the science. Bush's unconscionable exploitation of 9/11 to push neoconservative policies is well documented, but that doesn't mean that al Queda doesn't exist.
They predicted global warming 30 years ago, and now it's happening. It's not just in the news, and the consensus of the scientific community. It's outside my window. If you disagree with politics, give me an argument. I'll listen. If you disagree with the science, give me the evidence. I'm interested.
But when you use the politics as a rationale to discredit the science, you can't be taken seriously. Go to hell.

The first chapters present the politics of global warming. The later chapters present the science, complete with footnote references to peer-reviewed journals. The global warming rebuttal is very well presented. The McIntyre & McKitrick demolition of Mann's hockey stick is especially well done. (The NAS concurred and the IPCC doesn't talk about it any more.)
The previous commenter apparently didn't read past the summary (much like the mainstream media didn't read past the IPCC summary. :)

To sum up:
It's not about the politics, it's about the science.
I am a liberal weenie.
This is a joke, right?
I don't have time for conservative science, or liberal science. I like scientific science.

A rebuttal to a Greencoat's disingenuous review:

* You are merely using logical fallacy here. What does Bush have to do with anything? You're obviously a Liberal, so you should LOVE Bush since Obama has taken everything Bush has done and put it on steroids.
They predicted global warming 30 years ago, and now it's happening. It's not just in the news, and the consensus of the scientific community.
* No, they predicted another Ice Age in the 70's and that's easily verifiable. Didn't happen though, did it? Scientists aren't always right or honest.
It's outside my window. If you disagree with politics, give me an argument. I'll listen. If you disagree with the science, give me the evidence. I'm interested.
Your science was proven fraudulent many times and Christopher Monckton can own ANY Greencoat in a debate. Climate Gate didn't help you guys either. LOL.
But when you use the politics as a rationale to discredit the science, you can't be taken seriously. Go to hell.
If the science don't fit, then you must acquit. And it's good to know the reasons why so many shenanigans have been perpetrated in the name of Global Warming to figure out why they would push this false religion...
And the answer is: MONEY and Control.
The whole thing is a Ponzi scheme designed by by Blood & Gore on behalf of the United Nations as part of UN Agenda 21... which is slavery to a Central Government not of the people, but of the 1% Elites aka Bankers.
Go learn about Agenda 21 and you'll find out what your "sustainable" future really is.

LOL@ Gaia worshipers running away when their politically motivated religion is confronted with even a slightest objective scientific analysis...
