Global Bullies want your money
It’s unthinkable. Big Government has spent $79 billion on the climate industry, 3000 times more than Big-oil. Leading climate scientists won’t debate in public and won’t provide their data. What do they hide? When faced with legal requests they say they’ve “lost” the original global temperature records. Thousands of scientists are rising in protest against the scare campaign. Meanwhile $126 billion turned over in carbon markets in 2008 and bankers get set to make billions.

Obviously a lot of hard work has gone into this. However, I feel that it comes over as a bit too gimicky and smacks of propaganda. I know it isn’t! I know it’s all true! But it just doesn’t seem like the right line to be taking. It’s a bit over egg’d. I’d rather see a more reserved and calm approach that covers the basic issues and captures the imagination of the AGW believers gently. Then lead them slowly into finding out for themselves how much mis-imformation they have been fed by the media. Nobody likes to suddenly find out they have been conned, they need to discover the information by themselves and slowly adapt their own mental state as they gain knowledge. I hope this is taken as purely constructive criticism.

This may be interesting – on the climategaet money trail

I too would be inclined to prefer a slightly toned down front cover, since for a lay audience may put them off reading further. I love the Skeptics Handbook – with perhaps a byline based in scientific principles, like “scientists are skeptics” or “how to make sense of climate science, politics and media” or something…

Sydney, I understand. The first handbook was more reserved, but both Handbooks were really aimed at Skeptics themselves (or sympathetic souls). I want to help Skeptics argue their case better, avoid the pitfalls and cut to the chase so-to-speak.
I can also see a need for another version, aimed at the public at large. That’s quite a different genre again, and I would not write it the same way at all.
You are right, a softly softly approach works much better there. Bit by bit…

Hi Joanne,
I think you are right in that a different, more considered, approach is required for the general public.
Another version of the handbook would be a good move. I hope you get the chance to write one. I could certainly use something along those lines. Thank you for not taking offence as none was intended. It’s just that the “shout it out loud full colour illustrated method” doesn’t sit at all well with me,and would be counter productive in my circle of contacts.
Carry on with your good work…
and thanks for listening.

Alternatively, some people like a good conspiracy theory – Jesse Ventura on a power broker behind global warming:

Personally, I think it’s driven by the pro-nuclear crowd, who need some traction for mega billion dollar nuclear power plants and who cares about the toxic waste. Nuclear is the new world order after fossil fuels.
