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.
In The Politically Incorrect Guide 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 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.
It's time to stand up to the environmentalist industry and insist that human beings are not the enemy. In breezy, light-hearted, and always entertaining fashion, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming (and Environmentalism) gives you the facts you need to do so.

"Excellent and easy to read. If you believe in MAN-MADE global warming and the crap that spews out of Al Gore's mouth, here is a SCIENTIFICALLY-based/centered book that dispells many myths of global warming...some of which are pretty obvious such as: the ice age ended thousands of years before there was a huge human population and well before there were automobiles so is that global warming?"
— Brett (5 out of 5 stars)
“A definitive resource to debunk global warming alarmism.”
— James Inhofe, senator (R–Oklahoma)“This accessible book will arm you to cut through the hot air in this ongoing national debate.”
— Dr. Fred Singer, former director of the US Weather Satellite Service; professor emeritus of environmental sciences, University of Virginia“Chris Horner takes us through this story, including fascinating investigations into the role of major industries and the muzzling of science, with verve, humor, and a genuine concern for accuracy. His descriptions will provoke laughter as well as recognition that tears are more in order.”
— Dr. Richard S. Lindzen, Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Atmospheric Sciences, MIT; member of the National Academy of Sciences; and former lead author, UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change“Takes a hard-headed, realistic look at both the science and the politics of the issue.”
— Roger Helmer, member of the European Parliament; American Legislative Exchange Council 2006 International Legislator of the Year" Highly relevant content. It drags a little, but hey, what do you want from a book about climate, weather, and politics? Everyone should read this to get a balanced view of the climate change debate (yes, Al, there still is a debate going on...). "
— Kevin, 1/31/2014" I put this on my list for Matt. Hopefully he'll be motivated to read it and lose his liberal ways. "
— Robb, 1/14/2014" The definitive guide to our environment. "
— Big, 1/12/2014" It's frustrating to me that people even consider believing anything Al Gore says. This book is fascinating and is a great look at the other side of the story. (And much more believable than Al Gore and the other watermelons.) Great book! "
— Saralyn, 11/14/2013" Hilarious! Do people still believe in global warming? "
— Kristi, 8/28/2013" You can't hardly go wrong with P.I.G. Books. "
— Ernie, 4/16/2012" Anybody who is tempted to get caught up in the hysteria around global warming must read this book. The author documents the inconsistencies of the elites who push radical change to correct the problem....which doesn't really exist! It is a very interesting read! "
— Terry, 11/28/2011" Not a cover-to-cover kind of read. I am treating it more like a reference book that I can go to when I need to compare some information from another source. "
— Atchisson, 8/30/2011" Good info, though it's a few years dated at this time. Wish everyone would take the time to read it and think about it. Don't have to agree, but at least consider the information. "
— Ray, 6/27/2011" Well worth the read, good compilation of facts concerning the fallacy of global warming. "

— Kristi, 9/11/2009" Very good book. I'm sending a free copy to Gore. Should be required reading for the House and the Senate. But who are we kidding, those guys don't read anything.... "
— Paul, 7/21/2009" The definitive guide to our environment. "
