About this item

You have been inundated with reports from media, governments, think tanks, and "experts" saying that our climate is changing for the worse, and it is our fault. Increases in droughts, heat waves, tornadoes, and poison ivy - to name a few - are all blamed on our "sins of emissions" from burning fossil fuels and increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Yet, you don't quite buy into this human-caused climate apocalypse. You aren't sure about the details because you don't have all the facts and likely aren't a scientist.

Inconvenient Facts was recorded specifically for you. Described in plain English and providing easy-to-understand information, Gregory Wrightstone presents the science to assess the basis of the threatening Thermageddon.The audiobook's 60 "inconvenient facts" come from government sources, peer-reviewed literature, or scholarly works, set forth in a way that is lucid and entertaining. The information will likely challenge your current understanding of many apocalyptic predictions about our ever dynamic climate. You will learn that the planet is improving, not in spite of increasing CO2 and rising temperature, but because of it. The very framework of the climate-catastrophe argument will be confronted with scientific fact.

Arm yourself with the truth.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2024
    A superbly written book that simply shreds the anthropogenic climate change lie. Lots of books on this topic, some easier to read than others. This author is a good writer as well as being super knowledgeable on the topic.

    The information presented is straightforward and compelling in its logic. Very eye opening. A recommended read if you want the truth about climate change.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Technically excellent without overkill; sharp, splendid charts and graphs: A WINNER!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2023
    Gregory Wainwright's book comes in an easy-to-read thicker gloss paper and a text size that will not tire your eyes! Without excess verbosity, he clearly gives the reader a technical backdrop with a large number of supporting charts and graphs. His writing style flows well for any average reader. HIs 60 inconvenient facts pop up throughout the book and they are all about the TRUTH. Gregory is a scientist and not a journalist, activist, economist, or politician. His summaries of carbon dioxide and temperature are like future reference material because they are so simple but yet infused with enough scientific speak and fact. He also takes the reader through the wiles of draughts, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, heat waves and famines to dispel the fears propagated by those who would be classified as climate change "persuaders" and activists. This book is a solid read.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2024
    Excellent facts and evidence for long trends in earth climate history were charted. Facts and, evidence cited vs. cherry picked data or models. Its time to put an end to climate hysteria and boogeyman. Follow the actual science and disregard the people making money from climate change scare tactics. Question everything and,seek the truth.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Another Opinion on Climate Change Suggests Caution
    Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2020
    This book did an excellent job of putting current climate change, namely global warming and CO2 emissions into an earth history perspective, highlighting current difficulties in evaluating environmental data from around the world and properly suggesting that both researchers and decision makers use caution when making dramatic predictions and suggesting huge economic changes based on what we think we know today. The book was clear, concise and info-filled with colorful, very understandable and applicable charts and graphs. The references used seemed solid as several were used by another credible author I've read on the subject.

    I read two critiques that I felt were somewhat unfair with only a couple of criticisms that I thought had merit: 1. That one of the charts ended a few years too soon (when that few years of data was available to the author) and left off some relatively dramatic additional data that might challenge one of the author's points; and 2. That the author's disagreement with the generally promoted estimate that 97% of climate scientists agree that manmade CO2 emissions is causing virtually all of the "seemingly" increased rate of global warming. Criticism Number 1 kept me from giving a 5-star rating, but did not dissuade me from generally agreeing with the author's conclusions. With regard to Criticism Number 2 I simply agree with the author that when a significant number of polled scientists do not express opinions, they have failed to agree, and that failure to agree means far fewer than 97% do agree with the current most popular THEORY. Some other criticisms that this work was not peer reviewed and that the author doesn't have a PHD, blah, blah, blah I rejected outright. The book was not intended to be a detailed scientific treatise, but rather a revelation to non-scientists of several facts that people concerned with climate change ought to consider before panicking or feeling depressed. And Bill Gates doesn't have a PHD either! Most importantly, the author has done the reader an important service by indeed listing and describing some genuinely persuasive INCONVENIENT FACTS that certainly challenge so-called inconvenient truths.

    This is a great book! Easy to read, excellent supporting evidence. It helped me write this short article that gets published next week:

    Key Questions to Ask About Climate Change

    As the third-world economies emerge and world population grows, can we expect citizens to accept draconian measures that change the way they live?

    Let’s ask the tough questions before we force massive lifestyle changes — or spend trillions that could otherwise combat world hunger, fight illiteracy, discover new cures, or raise third-world living standards.

    For each of the six questions below, let's answer in support of climate change. However, a "no or not sure" is an indicator that massive expenditures or lifestyle changes aren't warranted.

    1. Is the world warming? Between 1998-2015 there was an 18-year pause in rising temperatures. Some climatologists think a new ice age is more likely to occur. We are living at the very tail-end of an ~11,000-year warmer inter-glacial period. Massive glaciation is the norm for the earth.

    2. Does climate change pose a threat to the planet? Seas are rising ~2mm/year, about 7-9 inches per century. Temperatures increased about 0.7C since 1850. A doubling of CO2 from 400ppm to 800ppm would only lead to another 0.7C increase. How does this make life, as we know it, end in the next 12 years, as some politicians claim?

    3. Is climate change being caused by humans? Or is it all part of evolving world cycles, e.g., solar activity? Earth has been much hotter and much cooler. CO2 levels have varied from 180ppm to almost 5,000ppm (last 140M years). The great civilizations flourished in times warmer than today. Greenhouses regularly operate at 1,200ppm. Plants thrive in higher concentrations of CO2; crop yields increase. From space, the earth has visibly "greened" in the last 30 years!

    4. Are there practical things we can do? If we go back to an 18th-century lifestyle, the impact on temperature would be minimal — would all trees be cut down just to stay warm? What exactly is “The Plan” — is there a sensible one? Is it achievable? Are you ready to get rid of cows, cars, and airplanes?

    5. Are they affordable? Who pays for all this climate change remediation? The U.S. is already $22 trillion in debt. How do we balance this with demands for increases in social programs?

    6. Do we have the political will? Are citizens of the world willing to allow our leaders to implement changes that could directly affect our freedoms, pocketbooks, and consumption patterns? Do we need a one-world-government to have the power and authority to enforce the rules? Now, that would be a "real change" worth noting.
