The Truth about Energy, Global Warming, and Climate Change: Exposing Climate Lies in an Age of Disinformation

Fear is a powerful weapon and those who have been indoctrinated into the Climate Cult are too cemented in that fear mode to let it go. “The science is settled” is the least scientific statement made. Science, or if I may, scientific inquiry, is never settled, it is always searching, reaching, seeking. Once it is “settled” it no longer operates as science but has the power of an idol.I commend Dr. Corsi for attempting to reach out to those who refuse to listen and rather than considering the information he presents, aim ad hominem attacks at him. This book, though not an easy read, was informative and well worth the time spent reading it. Facts are tenacious. In time, I hope the facts presented in this book will reach a broader audience.Like a young person I know said the other day, “What? Am I supposed to tell my friends to not be afraid?” “Yes!” Was my response. When the actual data doesn’t correspond to the models’ output don your investigative glasses and work some scientific inquiry as to why. The Truth about Energy, Global Warming, and Climate Change is a great place to start.

At last, an up to date book which is readable and convincing about just how complicated the earth is and how wrong the Green New Deal zealots are about global warming and its politics.

Wow

The climate hoax is thoroughly explained in this book. While President Joe Biden is busy destroying our energy independence someone should explain to him in simple English why his policies are so destructive. I seriously doubt he is capable of understanding this rather complex narrative of how weather and climate actually function. Therefore, someone who can explain it in simplified terms should educate him. Start with the second law of thermodynamics.

This should be read by all climate change believers. Most people don't have a clue about what is going on in our environment. Most if not all of the hype is politically motivated and/or driven by population control fanatics that belive human generated co2 is our problem.

Want to know about " fossil fuels" ? I haven't read very far into this but it's an eye opener and a excellent rebuttal to the current climate hysteria, a must read indeed

I appreciate the effort and research that this author put into writing this book to reveal the climate scam. This should be required reading in schools the world over.

Are politics involved with climate change? Of course. I studied the raw data for a year in college. This book is missing the point. The evidence of human caused climate change is undeniable. The data is easy to understand. Nothing about what I studied is political. It's just real, undeniable, truth. The average person can and will understand human caused climate change if they just take the time to learn. These are the types of books that downplay reality and are not helping the cause. Read a few scientific books on weather, climate and ecology. These types of books are meant to persuade people to believe it's not happening or believe it's not serious.

Corsi has done a Hugh amount of research to put this together. A degree in chemistry by the reader would be helpful , but not necessary to get the essence of Corsica presentation. A real eye opener.

Within the last few years, a number of outstanding books regarding the climate debacle have been published, notably those written by Marc Morano, Michael Shellenberger, Patrick Moore and most recently Steven Koonin. Excellent books which totally disrobe the climate panic as orchestrated by the IPCC, left-wing politicians and the powerful wind and solar energy lobby in the West.Surrounded by plenty of hype, the book by Jerome E Corsi is then published. The reader of course is curious to see how “The Truth” will supplement the books already out there.Corsi starts out with a very detailed description of the whole Malthus-inspired political thinking, according to which all kinds of personal freedom must be curtailed because of environmental concerns or upcoming resource shortages. Paul Erlich, prophet of doom, of course plays a major role here. However, as the years went by, we did not really experience any of the predicted problems. Fossil fuels and minerals were discovered at a faster rate than we could expend them, and reserves just kept growing. The political establishment then hit upon the climate as the pretext for their wishes for totalitarian changes in our Western World. This has been an immense success, all but destroying the European energy supply for the upcoming winter. Sadly enough for the activists, the rest of the World, led by China, has absolutely no intention of complying, they keep expanding their use of coal and thus all our sacrifices will be for naught regarding effect on the climate.So far so good, but then Corsi moves on to the climate science itself, the computer models and their difficulties in simulating a hugely complex and chaotic system as the weather and climate. We also look at the energy solutions, solar and wind, combined with batteries and synthetic fuels.And this is where the book loses height and relevance. As a climate skeptic you want some facts and data to support the doubts regarding human capability to “control” the climate. But we do not, instead the book dedicates page after page describing the asteroid, which hit Earth 66 million years ago and killed all the dinosaurs. We hear about continental drift and a crackpot theory that Earth has been expanding significantly over the last billion years, however that would be possible. How this provides arguments against a greenhouse gas theory covering the latest 150 years is very unclear.Corsi spends a lot of effort on convincing the reader that not all fossil fuels are of “fossil” origin, i.e. the remnants of life hundreds of millions years ago. Some natural gas is formed deep within the Earth’s crust or upper mantle and seeps upwards. The point seems to be that fuel reserves thus are much bigger than believed, but this is not really a relevant issue, since reserves are plentiful anyhow.Corsi also dedicates many pages to describing the German synthetic fuel production during WW2, indicating that here is valuable technology lost to modern day. No. There is an interest in producing synthetic fuel based on electric power from wind turbines or solar cells, but that is a completely different ball park. The source of carbon is different (not coal as the Germans used) and the art of getting the process to work on intermittent solar or wind electricity is a serious challenge, which probably never will find a solution.The book does not contain a single illustration, which otherwise could have clarified some of the long and verbose explanations, for example regarding the Milankovitch cycles. The book is also marred by some elementary mistakes, which should have been caught in the proof-reading process, like the statement that the US emitted 6,3 thousand tons of Carbon Dioxide in 2019 – where the real figure should be 6,3 billion tons.All told, if you want to learn about the reality of climate issues, then you are better off with any of the books by the above-mentioned authors, rather than Corsi’s meanderings.

Good reading on a dense subject...lots of questions answered...exposes a lot of practices, and ideas, as false, or unsubstantiated, that I didn't wish to be. Disturbing implications.

An authoritative history and powerful critique
