Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed

by Christopher Horner

It's standard operating procedure for the global warming industry: they've ruined careers, blacklisted respected scientists, and knowingly spread lies about dissenters. Global warming fanatics have even called for the imprisonment of skeptics and used government pressure to cut off rivals' funding. As if all that weren't enough, one global warming skeptic has had the lug nuts on his tires secretly loosened when his rejection of climate change orthodoxy became public.

Horner reveals that the global warming industry is made up of lifestyle nags and nanny-statists who are seeking to curtail our liberties, along with rent-seeking industries who are petitioning the state to create markets and mandates and enhance subsidies. Their common objective is expansion of government power. He details how Big Government, politicians and global warming nutjobs are abusing power in the pursuit of even more power, as environmental alarmists knowingly promote false and exaggerated data on global warming. He reveals that in the Left’s efforts to suppress free speech (and scientific research), they have compared global warming dissent with "treason"!

Meanwhile, the liberal media lies and covers up the truth while the global warming establishment moves ruthlessly to crush dissent and ruin the lives of dissenters. Horner explains how that establishment, not content to dominate the mainstream media, is even propagandizing children, and not hesitating to use alarmist scare tactics to do so. He also examines the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which he calls "the UN's Four-Alarm Liar," and shows that most scientists are actually global warming skeptics.

• Al Gore's desperate fear of exposure of the weak foundations of his alarmism: how he cancels interviews when his handlers cannot control the questioning in advance and bars the media from his talks

• How the alarmist industry engages in outright efforts to censor those who dare disagree with its tenets or agenda -- including impediments placed in the path of climate realists to speak, participate, and even to publish

• How there is no such thing as "global temperature" or even "U.S. temperature," but only weighted averages from adjusted readings from many different measuring stations (which means that if you place your measuring equipment in the wrong places, you could help start a global warming panic!)

• The implicit and sometimes explicit threat of retaliation experienced by academics and government employees at the hands of global warming fanatics

• How the Leftist-controlled media breathlessly touts any occurrence -- no matter how tenuously connected to the weather -- as the result of manmade global warming

• How Ivy League institutions hire pressure group activists and offer them academic prestige to continue their fanatical activism under the cloak of academic objectivity

• Al Gore's co-producer Laurie David: how she followed their utterly disingenuous and on occasion dishonest film with a book aimed at children -- and why global warming alarmists in general focus so much of their labors on winning over children to their cause

• The noted environmentalist who declared: "Global warming -- at least the modern nightmare version -- is a myth"

• How global warming materials distributed in schools routinely list numerous negative consequences of the phenomenon, but fail to mention any of the real-world benefits of temperature rise experienced in the past 100 years -- including increasing crop yields, forest expansion, and desert shrinkage

• How the liberal media audaciously ignores accepted opinion when that opinion is depressingly non- catastrophic -- but then runs a shocked story about how the boring accepted wisdom it hasn't wanted to tell you about might not be true

• The common global warming advocates' smokescreen of accusing global warming dissenters of scientific bias arising from the sources of their funding

• The British Royal Society: the efforts of this venerable institution to push the global warming agenda by censoring and bullying dissent -- which efforts were merely an escalation of its running campaign to intimidate scientists from speaking out over "warming"

• The thoughtful and courageous researcher who broke with the High Church of Climate Alarmism, detailing the weaknesses of a creed that insists that industrially produced carbon dioxide -- produced in massively greater quantities by Mother Nature than by humans -- is the primary driver of climate change

• The dishonest ways in which global warming advocates explain away the mountains of data that don't fit their theories

• How global warming fanatics persistently equate dissenters from global warming alarmism specifically with Holocaust deniers

• The strange paradox of the alarm over "global warming": how its adherents find it a worthy enough cause to justify threats, intimidation, and vilification of their opponents, but not a big enough deal to accept, say, nuclear power (no CO2) replacing coal-fired electricity

• A new tack in global warming alarmist name-calling: the recent practice of calling climate rationalists "tobacco scientists"

• Why global warming represents a gravy train for the scientific establishment unlike any other in history -- with federal taxpayer expenditures on climate-related research now pushing $6 billion per year

• The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change: impartial? Hardly: how it's staffed by vested interests -- including global warming pressure group activists

Shocking, frank, and illuminating, Red Hot Lies explodes as many myths as Al Gore promotes.
