The sky is not falling! The sky is not falling!

Since the beginning of recorded history, there have been end-of-the-world predictions. In recent years we have had radio preachers, politicians and scientists declare the world would soon end, either because of our decadent lifestyle, or because of “global warming,” now known as “climate change.”

Responses to these Chicken Little declarations have ranged from people hiding in caves to the most recent announcement by Costco that it has a doomsday meal kit for sale. The cost is $6,000. The online listing says the kit contains 36,000 servings of food that will feed a family of four for one year.

Marc Morano’s new book “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change” is just in time to refute the argument that “climate change” will destroy all life on Earth. It is a mark of Morano’s dark humor that he features as an “endorsement” of the book a comment by the liberal Daily Kos, which calls Morano “evil personified.”

The book is a point-by-point takedown of the predictions of disaster made by the climate change movement, none of which have materialized.

In the book’s foreword, the late John Coleman, a meteorologist, TV weatherman and cofounder of The Weather Channel, writes: “We meteorologists are well aware of how limited our ability is to predict the weather. Our predictions become dramatically less reliable as they extend into the future. When we try to predict just a few weeks into the future, our predictions become increasingly inaccurate. Yet the ‘climate change’ establishment that now dominates the UN bureaucracy and our own government science establishment claim that they can predict the temperature of the Earth decades into the future.”

Coleman then gets to the heart of the issue: “Their global warming scare is not driven by science; it is now being driven by politics. So today anybody who defies the prevailing ‘climate change’ scare puts his career and his reputation into extreme danger.”

Among the facts revealed in Morano’s book are these: The world spends $1 billion a day to “prevent” global warming; a UN scientist says the “97 percent consensus” on global warming was “pulled from thin air”; scientific organizations claim climate change “consensus” but have not polled their members; climate policies are not helping, but “crushing the world’s poor”; the Paris climate accord theoretically postpones global warming by just four years, but will cost $100 trillion if fully implemented; one climate activist is quoted as saying we should “protect our kids by not having them”; recent “hottest year” claims are based on statistically meaningless yearto-year differences; Antarctica is actually gaining, not losing, ice; carbon dioxide levels today are 10 times lower than in some past Ice Ages.

Morano argues the debate over climate change is not settled, as many claim. Science is never settled and apparently neither is the politics of climate change, which is being advanced by people who want more control over our lives.

Real scientists who specialize in climate and related fields are quoted in the book. These are voices we rarely, if ever, see mentioned in the mainstream media.

Read this book and you will become an informed climate change denier. And you’ll save $6,000 next time you visit Costco.
