Global Warming Critic - Christopher Horner?

Question

I saw an interview with Christopher Horner who was promoting his book on global warming, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming. In his interview he outlined the facts against global warming, it seemed pretty logical, but he was obviously conservative and seemed pretty biased. Has anybody read the book or heard of Horner?

Answer 1

Horner is a lawyer, not a scientist just as Al Gore is a politician not a scientist.
Every anthropogenic global warming believer has a political bias (progressive liberalism).
The 'stop global warming' organizations, much like the 'big oil' organizations, have an agenda; that is to line their own pockets with our 'carbon tax' monies and to promote the eventual socialistic takeover of the world's governments (with the leftist organizations in charge, of course).

No one is denying (well, almost no one) that global warming exists. It does exist, as does global cooling.
Global warming is one-half of the climatic cycle of warming and cooling.
The earth's mean temperature cycles around the freezing point of water.
This is a completely natural phenomenon which has been going on since there has been water on this planet. It is driven by the sun.
Our planet is currently emerging from a 'mini ice age', so is becoming warmer and may return to the point at which Greenland is again usable as farmland (as it has been in recorded history).
As the polar ice caps decrease, the amount of fresh water mixing with oceanic water will slow and perhaps stop the thermohaline cycle (the oceanic heat 'conveyor' which, among other things, keeps the U.S. east coast warm).
When this cycle slows/stops, the planet will cool again and begin to enter another ice age.
It's been happening for millions of years.
Humans did not cause it.
Humans cannot stop it.

Answer 2

Haven't read the book but I am aware of the Politically Incorrect Guides series. This is just one of many books that adopts a contemptuous approach to a variety of subjects - America, Women, Science, Sex, Literature, Islam, History etc.

In each case the author attempts to rewrite accepted fact . Even the Constitution isn't sacred and in the PIG to the Constitution it becomes distorted and rewritten to such an extent it's barely recogniseable. The real Constitution becomes lost amid claims that the it's purposes include supporting and promoting terrorism, educating illegal aliens and a whole raft of extremist concepts.

Christopher Horner is neither qualified to speak on the subject of global warming nor is he impartial. He's a lwayer not a scientist and works for Competitive Enterprise Institute which is largely funded by - guess who. You guessed it, the oil industry.

Answer 3

Horner is a lawyer, not a scientist

every global warming skeptic in the united states has a political bias (conservatism).

Answer 4

The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) of which he is a part is just a propoganda machine. It's only function is to protect oil company profits.

Answer 5

He's just one more apologist for corporate irresponsibility. Did you ask him how much the oil companies paid him to write his propaganda?

There is no "case against global warming." Its a proven fact.
