Sixty nails in climate alarmism's coffin By Jerry Shenk November 16, 2017 There are plenty of well-credentialed, objective, if little-publicized,climate skeptics, but few who are able to present their material inlayman's terms to an audience of curious, unschooled, but receptiveclimate truth-seekers. A new resource provides a point-by-point review and response to each ofthe climate industry's claims, citing the "normalcy" of much of their"alarming" data. In an entertaining, easy-to-read, elegantly-written,meticulously-researched, well-documented and illustrated 143-page book(including citations) entitled "Inconvenient Facts: The science that Al Gore doesn't want you to know," geologist Gregory Wrightstone presents a clear picture of the climatealarmism that attracts cynical big-government advocates and grips muchof the scientific community, complicit media and the gullible among us. Wrightstone employs government sources, peer-reviewed publications and otherscholarly works to reassure readers that our Earth has become healthierand more prosperous because of rising carbon dioxide and temperaturelevels, rather than in spite of them. The book details sixty inconvenient facts. Considering the climatealarmists' persistent clamor about "scientific consensus." Arguably,Inconvenient Fact #31 should have appeared first: "Science is notconsensus and consensus is not science." Wrightstone's droll observation about the financial incentives driving manycareer-invested scientists to mislead or overstate the "catastrophic"potential of climate change, often without historical or even Some highlights: Only a trace gas, carbon dioxide isn't the primarygreenhouse gas; CO2's warming effect declines as its concentrationincreases; and CO2 is plant food, so more of it means moister soil,fewer droughts and forest fires, a greener Earth, more plant growth andmore food for humans and animals. Wrightstone also reveals anxiety over rising temperatures to be just anotherclimate alarm shibboleth. Humans didn't cause 800,000 years ofconstant, normal, cyclical temperature changes, including the past10,000 years, 6,100 of which were warmer than today. In fact, warminghas paused for nearly two decades despite marginal increases in CO2. Indeed, warmer climates are better than cold ones for humans and most animalspecies. World-wide, annually, there are far more cold-related thanheat-related deaths. Moreover, in addition to a greener Earth, increased CO2 and higher temperatures together provide other shared benefits,including longer growing seasons, more crop cycles and greater humanfood security. Wrightstone's book serves to reinforce beliefs already held by most practical people: Climate does change -- that's indisputable -- but, rather than spending trillions to "fix" it, practical people would first examine observableevidence and, if persuaded, they would adapt -- just as prehistoric Homo sapiens did entering and exiting the last ice age. Presented in a format that allows readers to decide, Wrightstone's book is wellworth the time to read. Most importantly, perhaps, it will, inunderstandable, usable terms, provide informed skeptics the informationthey need to resist the progressive alarmists who preach to us all.

The 'Inconvenient Facts' About Global Warming That Al Gore Does Not Want Us to Know In an era where the Democrats' braintrust, socialists like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, areworking to remove beef from the menu to combat global warming, there's an"Inconvenient App" that makes you and me the smartest climate gurus at thedinner table.
Derived from Gregory Wrightstone'sbook "Inconvenient Facts: The Science Al Gore Doesn't Want You toKnow," this new app features 60 facts that seriously undermineclaims from collectivists that man-made global warming is destroying theplanet.
Tap your Android or iPhone, andthere is a graphic showing that the current warming trend began 300 years ago, wellbefore Henry Ford introduced the Model T or Al Gore invented the internet.
Touch a tab to access a briefanalysis, another tab for a video of Wrightstone's commentary, and a third fora list of references.
It is amazing how much documented -and coherent -- information is packed into this tiny app, making the smartphonean utterly appropriate resource and you a smugly clever person. Now in its third printing, the bookhas led Wrightstone, a Pittsburgh-based geologist, to scores of television andradio shows and to presentations at colleges, conferences and communitymeetings.
Backed by voluminous studies,"Inconvenient Facts" assures readers that modern warming is neither unusual norcatastrophic. Of the last 10,000 years since the last major ice age, 6,100years were warmer than today (Inconvenient Fact #20). Humans have thrived inprevious periods significantly warmer than our modern age, most recently in the13th century, when Vikings farmed Greenland and citrus grew in England.
Conversely, people have sufferedduring cold periods such as the Little Ice Age (1290-1850), which was marked byfamine and disease.
While the Earth has experienced asteady decline in carbon dioxide levels for more than 500 million years, thebook says, recent increases of the wrongly maligned gas is tied to a greeningof up to 50 percent of the Earth -- a positive, fertilizing effect of higher CO2levels on plants (Inconvenient Fact #37).
One apocalyptic myth after another --from purported threats of rising sea levels to vanishing polar bears -- isdestroyed by Wrightstone's collection of research. Rather than a world lurchinginto a man-made climate hell from which there is no return, the Earth'secosystems and humankind are thriving.

"The first and most importantconclusion is that the correct policy to address the non-problem of man-madeglobal warming is to have the courage to do nothing," Wrightstone says.
This message is sure to interruptthe agenda of Marxists attempting to use fear of the fantasy of man-made globalwarming to advance their dark designs.
The message will also have thebenefit of promoting inevitable bouts of indigestion in the less informed amongus at the dinner table.

Hammering Nails Into Man-Made Global Warming's Coffin I have a confession to make. I am a climate change skeptic and becoming more so seemingly by the day. It is not that I don't believe that the Earth has warmed over the last 150 or so years,the science clearly supports that contention. I am, however, skeptical of the notion that humans are now responsible for temperature changes and that increasing temperatures are leading to horrible climate-related consequences for the Earth and humanity.
While I am certainly not a scientist nor an expert on climate change, I have consumed a large number of books from both sides of the issue and have an amply stocked bookshelf in my den on the subject. I find that most of books on climate are difficult for the non-scientist to read, much less digest. They tend to be overly technical for the layman, not well-illustrated and commonly overly-politicized.
I discovered my now go-to climate change book "Inconvenient Facts - the science that Al Gore doesn't want you to know" quite by accident nearly six months ago and it is becoming dog-eared from my constant referencing of it. Geologist Gregory Wrightstone's debut book is eminently readable, understandable and very well-illustrated. With more than 90 color illustrations and 14 pages of references, the book treads a hard-to-manage balance between well-researched science and a fascinating read.
Throughout the book, the author provides easily understandable graphics and analysis of his 60 "inconvenient facts." These are facts, backed up by references to NASA, NOAA or peer-reviewed studies, that show in detail and clarity just how wrong much of what I thought that I knew is incorrect.
Wrightstone opens the book with a perfectly apropos quote from H. L. Mencken who references the need for governments and institutions to create "an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary" in order to get its citizens to buy into otherwise harmful policies and regulations. The last half of his book is devoted to dispelling many of these climate "hobgoblins" which he calls "climate apocalypse" events.Using science and data, he systematically takes down notions of increasing tornadoes, hurricanes, heat waves, drought and many more.
Early in the book, prefacing a series of particularly damning "inconvenient facts," Wrightstone writes that they will be "part of the cumulative evidence that will eventually drive the final nails into the coffin of the catastrophic man-made warming theory." He comes back to this analogy of hammering nails into global warming's coffin throughout this seminal book. Now, Mr. Wrightstone has provided me with the hammer with which to drive the nails in the form of a smart phone app.
I have often wished that I had thebook in hand when discussing the subject with colleagues and now, thankfully,the new app allows me to leave the book at home, but to bring the facts with me. The recently released ground-breaking smart phone app is based in his 60inconvenient facts. Each of the facts are presented within the app with a chart or illustration that clearly shows and documents the subject. Included are links to text explaining it, commonly a video created by the author and a link to the source of the data behind the graphic.
Simply put, the app is amazing. The huge amount of information on my phone has given me the ability to speak more confidently to others concerning many aspects of climate change. The book is great, but the app is actually more powerful, in that I see that this can be a game-changer in the debate. I envision citizens that now can confront the notion of pending climate doom by empowering them with the knowledge in the palm of their hand.

Product Description
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 specifically created for you. Writing in plain English and providing easily understood charts and figures, Gregory Wrightstone presents the science to assess the basis of the threatened Thermageddon.
The book'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 likely will 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.
From the Author
The genesis of this book was a desire to discover the truth about a link between man's activities and the warming trend that is evident. I trusted no one, so I did a deep dive into the base data and what I found shocked me to the core. In nearly every portion of climate science (which eventually turned into chapters), I found that what I was told by the media was contradicted by the science, facts and data.
