A lot of books coming out on the topic. I am not sure if they are politically motivated however they contain data that I have observed and questioned myself. Aivars Lode Unstoppable Global Warming by S. Fred Singer Our price $9.95 You Save: 50%  Paperback In this New York Times bestseller, S. Fred Singer and co-author Dennis T. Avery closely examine historic data from two millennia of recorded history — combined with the natural physical records found in ice cores, seabed sediment, cave stalagmites, and tree rings — to reveal that the 1,500-year solar-driven cycle has always controlled the earth's climate, and remains the driving force in the current warming trend. As a result, trillions of dollars spent on reducing fossil fuel use would have no effect on today's rising temperatures — and the public policy key is adaptation, not fruitless attempts at prevention. Further, they offer convincing evidence that civilization's most successful eras have coincided with the cycle's warmest peaks. With the added benefit of modern technology, humanity can not only survive global climate change, but thrive. Read more. |
The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to Global Warming and Environmentalism by Christopher Horner Our price $9.95 You Save: 64% Exclusive hardcover edition — not available in stores! For decades, environmentalism has been the Left's best excuse for increasing government control over our actions in ways both large and small. Now, in The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to Global Warming and Environmentalism, Christopher C. Horner tears the cover off the Left's manipulation of environmental issues for political purposes — and lays out incontrovertible evidence for the fact that catastrophic man-made global warming is just more Chicken-Little hysteria, not actual science. He reveals the full anti-American, anti-capitalist, and anti-human agenda of today's environmentalists, dubbing them "green on the outside, red to the core." He details how they use strong-arm legal tactics — and worse — against those who dare to point out the weakness of their arguments for global warming. Along the way, he explodes ten top global warming myths, and exposes the lies that the environmental lobby routinely tells to make its case and impose initiatives such as the Kyoto Protocol on an unwilling American public.

Green Hell: How Environmentalists Plan to Ruin Your Life and What You Can Do to Stop Them by Steven Milloy Our price $9.95 You Save: 64% We all want a healthy planet — but we don't need to live in a Green nanny state to have one. And yet our government is adopting increasingly coercive policies to force the Greens' idea of environmental virtue on us. Now, in this stunning exposé, Steven Milloy details how a great Green tsunami is heading our way, threatening to wash away our standard of living and many of our liberties. The Greens, he says, bombard us with an endless list of "dos" and "don'ts": Take colder showers. Turn the heat down. Use less air conditioning. Dry your clothes on a clothesline. Drive small, fuel efficient vehicles or stop driving altogether. And the Greens' moral hectoring is just beginning. Green ideologues are bursting with an impatient zeal to begin dictating, through force of law, our diet, home energy usage, the size of our homes, how far we can travel, and even how many children we can have.

The Really Inconvenient Truths: Seven Environmental Catastrophes Liberals Don't Want You to Know About -- Because They Helped Cause Them by Iain Murray Our price $4.95 You Save: 82% Did you know that estrogen from birth control and "morning after" pills is causing male fish across America to develop female sex organs? Or that ethanol, the liberals' favorite fuel, is destroying the world's rainforests — and could cause global food shortages? Or how about this: We hear a lot about AIDS in Africa, but the number one killer of children in much of Africa is malaria — and guess which environmentalist heroine was responsible for banning the pesticide that used to have malaria under control? In The Really Inconvenient Truths, Iain Murray reveals how liberal environmentalists have actually made the planet worse, while old-fashioned property rights, unpopular hunters, and the innovative engine of capitalism have made it better.

The Real Global Warming Disaster: Is the Obsession with Climate Change Turning Out to be the Most Costly Scientific Blunder in History? by Christopher Booker Our price $9.95 You Save: 67% Thanks to global warming, the world may be heading towards an unprecedented catastrophe — but not the one predicted by the likes of Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore. The real catastrophe, reveals Christopher Booker, will be economic — as global warming hysteria persuades politicians to land us with what promises to be the biggest bill in history. Booker interweaves the science of global warming with that of its growing political consequences, showing how just when the politicians are threatening to change our Western way of life beyond recognition, the scientific evidence behind the global warming theory is being challenged like never before.

Climate Coup: Global Warming's Invasion of Our Government and Our Lives By Patrick Michaels Our price $9.95 You Save: 60% Despite its uncertain scientific foundations, "global warming" has permeated and often distorted virtually every area of life and public policy in America -- from science to business, education, trade, law, and foreign policy. Public schools frighten children with apocalyptic climate scenarios. Poor countries shake down rich ones in the name of climate "justice." Lawmakers try to impose tariffs and sanctions on nations that don't agree with their environmental preconceptions. Even our military uses it as "threat multiplier" to enhance its budget. Most ominously, the courts are now compelling the federal government to impose massive restrictions on the amount of energy we can use and the way we can use it. Now, Climate Coup details the pervasive threat global warming alarmism poses to almost every aspect of society. Read more. |
The Deniers by Lawrence Solomon Our price $9.95 You Save: 64% Al Gore and his media allies claim the only scientists who dispute the alarmist view on global warming are corrupt crackpots and "deniers", comparable to neo-Nazis who deny the Holocaust. Now internationally renowned environmentalist author Lawrence Solomon calmly and methodically debunks Gore's outrageous charges, showing in one 'headline' case after another that the scientists who dispute Gore's doomsday scenarios have far more credibility than those who support Gore's theories. These men who expose Gore's claims as absurd hold top positions at the most prestigious scientific institutes in the world. Their work is cited and acclaimed throughout the scientific community. No wonder Gore and his allies want to pretend they don't exist. Read more. |
Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed by Christopher Horner Our price $9.95 You Save: 64% In pursuing their anti-energy, anti-capitalist, and pro-government agenda, global warming alarmists resort to dirty tricks, smear campaigns, and outright lies, abandoning scientific standards, journalistic integrity, and the old-fashioned notions of free speech and open debate. In Red Hot Lies, bestselling author Christopher Horner — himself the target of Greenpeace dirty tricks and alarmist smears — exposes the dark underbelly of the environmental movement. Power-hungry politicians blacklist scientists who reject global warming alarmism. U.S. senators threaten companies that fund climate change dissenters. Mainstream media outlets openly reject the notion of "balance." The occasional unguarded scientist candidly admits the need to twist the facts to paint an uglier picture in order to keep the faucet of government money flowing. In the name of "saving the planet," anything goes. But why the nasty tactics? Why the cover ups, lies, and intimidation? Because Al Gore and his ilk want to use big government at the local, state, federal, and global level to run your life, and they can brook no opposition. Read more. |
An Appeal to Reason: A Cool Look at Global Warming by Nigel Lawson Our price $4.95 You Save: 50% Paperback In the 1960s we were warned that the population explosion would lead to mass global starvation. In the '70s we were warned that the planet was running out of natural resources — and when the planet's temperature, which had been gently rising for some 400 years, appeared to be falling again, scientists warned of a "New Ice Age." Considering the failure of these dire predictions to come true, writes British author Nigel Lawson, a little more skepticism about the latest planetary scare is in order: it is time, he says, to take a cool look at global warming. Lawson reveals that the conventional wisdom on the subject is suspect on a number of grounds, that global warming is not the devastating threat to the planet it is widely alleged to be, and that the remedy that is currently being proposed, which is in any event politically unattainable, would be worse that the threat it is supposed to avert.

Cool It by Bjorn Lomborg Our price $9.95 You Save: 53% Al Gore says global warming is nothing short of a "planetary emergency" demanding elaborate and expensive actions that will cost hundreds of billions of dollars. But is the hysteria surrounding global warming rational? And would the solutions Gore has in mind make things better for mankind — or worse? Now, in Cool It, noted environmental expert Bjorn Lomborg draws on extensive studies and analysis to debunk numerous popular myths that are causing people to panic (and Al Gore to win prizes). Lomborg — named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in 2004 — does believe that global warming is occurring, but not to the degree, or at the pace, that alarmists like Al Gore would have us believe. Nor are the consequences all bad — in fact, some are, and will be, very good, not only for our species but for others. The key, he believes, is to assess the facts and approach whatever problems need to be addressed in a rational way — which means not wasting all our energy and resources on Chicken Little hysteria when there are more pressing problems facing the world.

Eco-Freaks by John Berlau Our price $9.95 You Save: 62% Rachael Carson's Silent Spring advice actually killed millions of birds? Trees cause more "air pollution" than cars? In Eco-Freaks, John Berlau shatters long-standing environmental myths with startling facts, and exposes the many ways that shortsighted environmentalism — often based on pseudo-science or outright falsehoods — has actually helped amplify the dangers of natural disasters, and destroyed the health, lives and property of millions of people. As Berlau writes, "Environmentalists have promoted all sorts of doomsday scenarios about population explosions and massive cancer crises from pesticides that have been shown to be false. But now, because we have done away with so many useful products based on those scares, we are in danger of an old-fashion doomsday returning, because we've lost what protected us from the wrath of nature. Indeed, as we will see throughout this book, public health hazards caused by environmental policies are already on the scene." Read more. |
Re-Thinking Green: Alternatives to Environmental Bureaucracy by Robert Higgs; Carl P. Close Our price $9.95 You Save: 57% Paperback The huge bureaucracy created by the rise in environmental regulation since the 1970s has created more waste and failure than innovation and success, say the contributors to this eye-opening book. Re-Thinking Green: Alternatives to Environmental Bureaucracy exposes the myths that have contributed to failed environmental policies and proposes bold alternatives that recognize the power of free-market approaches and the drawbacks of regulatory processes. Examining some of today's most hotly debated environmental issues — including oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), global warming, endangered species, land use, and air quality — Re-Thinking Green show how environmental quality can be enhanced more effectively by relying less on government agencies that are increasingly bureaucratized and unaccountable, and more on environmental entrepreneurship and the strict enforcement of private-property rights.
