Product Description
The Big Media have spoken: on the question of global warming, 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
and in The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming (and Environmentalism),
Christopher Horner 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 expose of some of the
most shamelessly politicized pseudoscience we are likely to see in our
relatively cool lifetimes.
"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 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 to Global Warming and Environmentalism gives you
the facts you need to do so. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
