MEET THE CLIMATE PROPHETS OF DOOM THE LEADING CLIMATE ALARMISTS WORLD LEADERS CAPTURED BY CLIMATISM CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOW BIG BUSINESS SCIENCE SAYS HOW DID WE GET TO THIS STATE OF AFFAIRS? MANKIND IN THE GRIP OF A MADNESS

Chapter 2: Do This to Save the Planet

BACK TO THE HORSE & BUGGY RENEWABLE ENERGY: THE ILLUSORY SOLUTION SEVEN MAJOR LIFESTYLE CHANGES UNDERWAY THE SPECTER OF GLOBAL GOVERNANCE THE DILEMMA OF DEVELOPING NATIONS THE CAP-AND-TRADE CARBON TRADING MESS THE MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD OF CLIMATISM

Chapter 3: The Simple Science of Man-made Global Warming

BASIS ONE: RISING GLOBAL SURFACE TEMPERATURES BASIS TWO: RISING ATMOSPHERIC CARBON DIOXIDE BASIS THREE: THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT BASIS FOUR: COMPUTER MODEL PROJECTIONS THE DOGMA OF MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING AN OPEN AND SHUT CASE?

Chapter 4: History Shows Global Warming Not Abnormal

CONCLUSION #1: MODERN WARMING ABNORMAL? MEDIEVAL WARM PERIOD AND LITTLE ICE AGE EVIDENCE FOR THE MWP AND LIA AS GLOBAL EVENTS THE 1500-YEAR CLIMATE CYCLE THE IPCC TEMPERATURE CURVE SHORT-TERM CYCLES EXPLAIN MODERN WARMING THE MODERN WARMING IS NOT ABNORMAL

Chapter 5: Climate Science—The Rest of the Story

CONCLUSION #2: CO2 DRIVES EARTH’S CLIMATE? CONCLUSION #3: CO2 RISE DUE TO MAN? CO2 RISE AND THE CARBON CYCLE SOME PERSPECTIVE ON THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT CONCLUSION #4: POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM WATER VAPOR? CONCLUSION #5: IGNORE THE SUN? COSMIC RAYS AND CLOUDS—THE CLIMATE MISSING LINK THE WORLD IS AS IT SEEMS

Chapter 6: The Oceans Are Rising! The Oceans Are Rising!

EVIDENCE ABOUT EARTH’S ICECAPS SEA-LEVEL RISE—WHAT WE CAN REALLY EXPECT PREPARATIONS: FOUNDED AND UNFOUNDED LET’S GO PLAY AT THE MELTING NORTH POLE THE SPECTER OF SEA-LEVEL RISE

Chapter 9: Bad Science—Temperature, the IPCC, and Revealing E-mails

THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED? PLAYING FAST AND LOOSE WITH TEMPERATURE BIAS AT THE IPCC THE CLIMATEGATE SCANDAL THE INQUIRY WHITEWASH ANOTHER CLIMATEGATE E-MAIL RELEASE WHY DOES IT MATTER?

Chapter 10: Fund My Climate Study

THE SCIENTIFIC-GOVERNMENT COMPLEX THE GREEN FLOW FROM FOUNDATIONS FUNDING FOR AND FROM INDUSTRY THE MYTH OF WELL-FUNDED DENIERS IS MAN-MADE WARMING A HOAX? THE TAINTED INTEGRITY OF SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATIONS CLIMATISM: PROPELLED BY MONEY

Chapter 11: Sunbeams, Zephyrs, and Green, Leafy Fuel

MODERN SOCIETY AND HYDROCARBON ENERGY SOME OPPOSE THE USE OF ENERGY RENEWABLE HYPE AND ENERGY REALITY WIND AND SOLAR STRIKE ONE: DILUTE ENERGY WIND AND SOLAR STRIKE TWO: INTERMITTENT ENERGY WIND AND SOLAR STRIKE THREE: HIGH COST THE BIOFUELS FIASCO ELECTRIC CARS—“DRIVEN” BY CLIMATISM SUBSIDY MOUNTAINS: CLIMATE MADNESS IN EUROPE THE MYTH OF PEAK OIL THE HYDRAULIC FRACTURING REVOLUTION THE RENEWABLE ENERGY MIRAGE

Chapter 12: You Can’t Make This Stuff Up

POUR WHAT’S LEFT OF GRANNY ON THE ROSES BREAKTHROUGH: SPAIN PRODUCES SOLAR ENERGY AT NIGHT! GREEN, LEAFY FIGHTER JETS THAT FLY ON ALGAE STOP SIGNS CAUSE GLOBAL WARMING? THE PROBLEM OF AUSTRALIAN CAMEL GAS ECO-FRIENDLY BIRD-CHOPPING WIND TURBINES WACKY GREEN EDUCATION CALIFORNIA: POURING MONEY DOWN A GREEN DRAIN REALLY FUTILE CLIMATE GESTURES ANIMAL SCIENTISTS LOVE THIS WARMING STUFF CLIMATE CHANGE FOOLISHNESS

Chapter 13: Climatism—Headed for a Crash

TRENDS SHOW THAT THE MODELS ARE WRONG SCIENCE DOES NOT SUPPORT CLIMATE ALARM THE FAILURE OF GLOBAL NEGOTIATIONS RENEWABLE REMEDIES ARE BANKRUPT EUROPE AND DECARBONIZATION FOLLY SUSTAINABILITY: A HOUSE BUILT ON SAND ONE TRILLION DOLLARS DOWN A GREEN DRAIN BILLIONS WILL FIGURE IT OUT
