Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom
D**3
This the real story from an insider and a professional scientist
So-called "environmental groups" started out with good intentions but they morphed into hugely profitable organizations running into the billions of dollars. Patrick Moore is a Greenpeace founder who left when they abandoned science and decided to chase money instead. He now crusades to expose their deceitful ways by examining their claims and comparing it to the science and evidence. In each case, he conclusively proves that they are feeding us fiction to scare us into donating our money. Read this and you will be able to reassure your children that we are not in an existential crisis after all. Whether you are concerned about global warming, plastics or polar bears, you will find your answers here.I should add that I am a PhD chemist with 30 years of experience. I fact-checked some of his claims, such as the Google Street View of Henderson Island and found that, just as Dr. Moore said, the beaches are pristine and not polluted as the so-called environmental groups had claimed (see image).

A MUST Read for Anyone Interested in Climate Change
If you read nothing else about the Earth’s climate, be sure to least read this book. This is especially important if you think you have already formed an opinion about climate change. You need to know the FACTS not our politicians’ propaganda.This book by Dr. Patrick Moore is written at the high school level but has been praised by scientists at the forefront of climate physics. Plus, it’s highly entertaining.Patrick Moore was the co-founder of Greenpeace, the world’s largest environmental group.Martin Fricke, Ph.D. (nuclear physics)

Believing in FAKE INVISIBLE CATASTROPHES will bring down your world
Patrick Moore has dedicated his life to understanding and reporting on the real world and exposing fake invisible climate alarmism. The two photos show how weather differs between Lugano and Geneva Switzerland. They are 135 miles apart, mostly in an east-west direction. Lugano is nestled in beautiful Mediterranean weather. Lake Geneva in a winter storm sprayed freezing water that instantly turned to ice on this VW bus. The book, FAKE INVISIBLE CATASTROPHES AND THREATS OF DOOM is excellently written so you can understand all the lies that have been propagated about supposed disastrous man-made global warming. It is a very easy read. You will learn a lot about nature, the lies of the alarmists, and real causes of Earth's climate changes.

Shocker - CO2 isn't a poison that's going to destroy the earth.
This wonderfully readable book covers numerous aspects of the CO2/Climate Change debate. I was truly impressed with Patrick Moore's engaging writing style, and his ability to simplify and explain complex scientific concepts. He actually softened my views on GMO food production, and the necessity of converting to Nuclear Energy. He really excels in his argument that increasing CO2 levels are not a bad thing for the earth - CO2 isn't poison, it's plant food!

A different story on mass extinction and climate change
It is refreshing to discover new facts and arguments in these for us important questions. Patrick More has presented his arguments in a concise easy to understand way. In any discussion you should know your opponents reasoning. As one of the founders of Greenpeace, he can really nicely show how naked the emperor is. This book should be read by any one wondering about the strange policy decisions lade.

An invitation to think
An important read for anyone wanting to learn and think about climate issues, as opposed to reciting one dogma or another. There is nothing simple about the science of life, climate, and the evolution of our environment. Moore’s examples and discussions highlight the uncertainty and complexity of searching for real understanding of our world and the effects of CO2 on the future. Clearly, the simplistic doom scenarios fed to us by alarmists and the media are not a search for truth or invitation to learn, rather, they appear to be an invitation to panic in ignorance. One must question the motives of anyone who naively or malevolently proclaims “the science is settled”.

My take on Fake Catastrophes and Threats of Doom
Great book. Really wraps up the climate change scam. Nicely referenced. Not much information on demise of many civilizations in the past due to global cooling.

Should be required reading for all high school age children
First let me make one thing clear: I have spent a lifetime in Research and Development starting in graduate school at UC Berkeley. I have an advanced degree (obviously from UCB). I have always been skeptical about the hysterical claims made by the so called 'climate scientists'. What always irked me was the lack of scientific method. Rather than challenge their hypothesis they set out to prove it, which is the opposite of what one should do. Using the same approach as climate 'scientists' I can prove conclusively that the earth is flat. How? Using the past 150 years of CO2 and temperature data to 'prove' a relationship, let alone a causal one, is the same as laying a 12" ruler on the ground and saying it is flat so we can extrapolate to the entire planet being flat. A good scientist tries to DISPROVE their hypothesis, not prove it. If you can not disprove it then it has a higher likelihood of being accurate. Unfortunately for the climatologists it is astoundingly easy to disprove their hypothesis simply by looking over a longer time period - i.e. millions of years not hundreds.This is what Dr. Moore does for the layman, he bring forth real data, not fabricated emotional arguments, that essentially destroy the favored arguments of the environmental lobby. You can not get past the fact that a) over 570 MILLION years CO2 has not correlated with temperature b) CO2 has been on a downward trajectory 3) CO2 is essential for life 4) there are MORE not fewer polar bears now than 30 years ago 5) there is no data supporting mass extinction and in fact documented biodiversity is increasing not decreasing. I also know that in science anyone claiming 'science is settled' or refusing open debate knows that their own position is weak and easily disproved. I've seen this myself, those most afraid of contrary views are those who's views are most likely to be easily questioned. Also resorting to emotional or hyperbolic arguments is always an admission of defeat on the scientific front - always.

The Truth will set CO2 Free
Patrick Moore should be heading up the Climate Change committees of the U.K., America, Canada, Australia and Europe as these countries are doing the most damage to the well being of their citizens by following non-science driven, Greenpeace orchestrated policies that will destroy wealth, health and the ability to progress. The points made are so well covered even world Presidents & Prime Ministers can understand them, in particular the role of CO2 in promoting LIFE at all levels, and that without a continued increase we could be facing a climate emergency, but rather than it being too warm, CO2 content drops so low as too inhibit plant and animal life - hmmm, that’s tricky. This book should be required reading in all schools as it is school children who have been targeted by the Climate change zealots, and they have the most to lose, not by temperature rising, but by policies that drive costs so high, standards of living drop dramatically. I would like to thank Patrick Moore and all the involved science bodies who have stuck to their beliefs, despite being vilified by the climate mob, truth is usually difficult for most people, but eventually it is accepted. What is a pity however, is that Sir David Attenborough has so readily accepted the climate change narrative, he has a long history of factual reporting and it is a pity he is ending his career on such a low.Excellent book.

Please read this book,and make up your own mind!
This well researched book by Patrick Moore exposes the Climate Change"industry" for what it is,a racket to push the agenda of a few who have a vested interest in promoting the myth that human driven climate change is about to bring an end to life on Earth as we know it.With his inside knowledge gleaned from having worked for one of the most prominent environmental pressure groups,he is well versed in how pictures and data can be manipulated to create the desired message.During my formative years,a wise old sage once told me "Believe nothing of what you hear,and only half of what you see"; this advice has held me in good stead over the years,especially when dealing the the output of pressure groups and elements of the mainstream media. Accept nothing,question everything,this book will help!An excellent work,hard facts drawn from personal experience,not hype.

Unscientific and misleading
If you are looking for a science-based examination of the latest research into pollution or climate change – you won’t find it here. This is not a balanced review of environmental science research; rather, it is a desperate hunt for evidence in an attempt to shore up the pre-determined viewpoint that environmental scientists either exaggerate or falsify environmental concerns for political or financial gain. Dr Moore employs techniques such as the selective use of evidence, ad-hominem attacks and ridicule; mainstream research is either misrepresented or ignored, opinion is presented as fact and statements are made without any supporting evidence. Topics are dealt with by setting up a series of ‘straw-man’ fallacies (usually by taking erroneous newspaper articles or popular misconceptions as if they were an accurate representation) and then demolishing them. All this, coupled with several vitriolic tirades about the treatment of other climate-change deniers by various institutions and frequent unsubstantiated charges of falsifying evidence made against environmental researchers and campaigners, makes for a book of no scientific value.

An excellent book.
Each chapter covers one of the usual scare stories, plastic junk in the sea, deforestation, acidic oceans etc. and takes them all apart with forensic precision. A handy guide to the hysteria of the moment.Since some of the news we're being given regarding climate change is downright fraudulent one has to ask what the heck is going on?The overall picture I got from this book, perhaps unintentionally, was of a technocratic academic elite who seem hellbent on dragging us into a future they think is best for us, regardless of any actual threats, by fair means or foul.I hope I'm wrong though.
