Publisher Description
Well researched, clearly written, beautifully presented and, above all, fact-packed books such as Inconvenient Facts are absolutely essential to the very survival of democracy, to the restoration of true science, and to the ultimate triumph of objective truth.
Christopher Monckton, Viscount of Brenchley
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 argu-ment will be confronted with scientific fact.
Arm yourself with the truth.

Only for people who can see through misleading arguments
Fascinating to read, but misleading. Uses the same data as IPCC. And shows lots of data in easy-to-see charts. But cherry picks data and draws broad but misleading conclusions. For example, says higher CO2 good, and that historically we had CO2 levels so low it nearly dropped to levels where plants would die. But those dips occur at the depths of ice ages and we are thousands of years away from the next deep ice age. And at high CO2 levels and temps he said were fine (I.e., the polar bears didn’t die), we had those levels 125k years ago and seas were 20-30 feet higher than they are today. And speaking of sea level rise which is discussed in probably the weakest section of the book, he used data only to 2012 whereas data through 2017 was available, and ignored the acceleration of rise of sea levels after 2010. The book is well organized and has lots of great data. If it weren’t written from a biased approach it would be a good primer on climate change. For a better critique than mine, please read: “It’s easy to be tricked by a Climate Denier” by Willard MacDonald in Medium magazine, April 21, 2019.
