Has anyone else read the book "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming", If so, what do you think?

Question

I read it and it exposed alot of Al Gore's hypocrisy... It was very informative... Anyone else agree?

P.S. If you are so hell bent on stopping "global warming" and have something nasty to say to me, please read the book I mentioned before you criticize me!

anotherguy - obviously those other guides dont make any sense but this book is the ONLY book this autor wrote and they are in no way affiliated with the other ones, please check next time you make a generalization!

Answer 1

Good book full of truth. The rest of these answerers have had their brains polluted by enviro-crap for so long, they don't believe truth when it reviles what they have had drilled into their weak brains since first grade.
Good for you for seeking truth.

Answer 2

I haven't read the book myself but I am aware of the Politically Incorrect Guide series of books.

The aim of these books is to cause controversy by rewriting what is generally accepted. There's a whole series of them and they all follow this same principle.

For example, you might think that the American Constitution is an important document and that it's meaning is very clear - not according to the PIG which completely rewrites the Constitution.

It also rewrites American history, the First World War, US politics, Islam, Literature, Darwinism and in the guide to women describes them as 'disposable sex objects'.

You mentioned the comments made by anotherguy. This book will be very much affiliated with the others as it's part of a series from the same publishers. The PIG's have a niche in the market, if they wanted to publish a serious guide to global warming they would have done so outside of the PIG series.

Prior to answering I looked up a review of the PIG to Global Warming, the first sentence from the extract I read claims greenhouse gases cannot warm the planet. Even the most ardent of skeptics is well aware that GHG's do warm the planet, if they didn't the planet would be so cold that life would never have evolved.

The book quite clearly doesn't even attempt to refute global warming on a serious level but relies on complete nonsense.

There are good books that question the science of global warming and make valid points and use intelligent arguments to make their case - this book isn't one of them.

Answer 3

You think the fact that the weather is going crazy, and animals are dying out, and gas prices are up the wazoo is okay? That something isn't wrong? You think because some one sided book probably written by a conservative who has an extreme hate for democrats that you'll know everything? You need to look at both sides, and stop being right sided just because your daddy is. Get your own opinions. And quit being so republican like and be open minded. I bet you took the time to read a bogus 1000 page book that took you 3 weeks to read and cost you 50 dollars but didn't watch a 2 hour long movie that cost you about 10 dollars (snack included). Go watch an Inconvenient Truth.

Answer 4

I read it but idn't think much of it. The author was quite obviously not a climate scientist, and nothing in the book was anything other than the standard contrarian arguments scientists have dealt with years ago. In fact, even a quick read through the FAQ section of the latest IPCC report will compltetely disprove every single argument Horner uses in the book.

Answer 5

The PIG was written by Christopher Horner. Christopher Horner is not a scientist; he is a lobbyist, and a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. The CEI gets its funding from ExxonMobil.

Enough said.

Answer 6

No, I didn't read it. I also never read the politically incorrect guide to science, which states that HIV does not cause AIDS and that stem cells don't offer that much promise, or the politically incorrect guide to Islam, which states that most muslims in the US are terrorists or terrorist sympathizers, or the politically incorrect guide to the south, which states that the confederacy had a constitutional right to cecede. Oh, and the politically incorrect guide to feminism, which states that women should be stay-at-home mothers.

Consider your sources.

Answer 7

didn't read it....
i believe that global warming is happening.
i'll take your word and look at it.
it probably won't convince me.
we'll see...

Answer 8

I'd rather read what real scientists have to say.
