... My new book, discussed in more detail below, is a Top 250 bestseller at Amazon, and a smash on the Climatology Hit Parade.
~That headline comes from Instapundit's characterization of my new book, and it may be the pithiest summation, although this one from Laura Rosen Cohen is also among my favorites:
It's not punching back twice as hard, or even thrice as hard.If you saw Ted Cruz with that know-nothing Sierra Club guy, you'll get a glimpse of how in the run-up to the Paris talks the Big Climate alarmists are going to do nothing except drone their three or four talking points. As it happens, the Sierra honcho's line - about "the 97 per cent consensus" on "climate change" - is demolished right at the end of my new book. This is the story of the most famous "science" graph of the 21st century and how its malign influence got propelled onwards and upwards - to the IPCC, Al Gore's Oscar-winning crockumentary, every western government, every schoolhouse in the developed world, even to the Vatican. It's a hell of a story:
It's punching back something like eleventy bazillion gazillion times as hard.
It's probably the longest, funniest, most savvily organized and meticulous "screw you" in the history of Western literature. It's probably a new genre. I don't know of any precedent for a literary vehicle of this kind.
