Global Warming: The Great Deception

It is helpful to have degree in Mechanical Engineering because that degree includes a lot of courses in thermodynamics and heat transfer. Additionally, I have graduate degree in Environmental Science so all of the author' arguments make perfect sense to me. Additionally, I have lived in the same region of the US for almost 80 years. That region, southern Oklahoma and northern Texas, have had violent weather my entire life and I have seen patterns to the weather extremes. The climate has always changed, history teaches us that. To shut down the energy that supports our way of life including our food production makes absolutely no sense. People all over the world are wising up and rebelling against this money and power grab. Excellent book.

Demonstrably false assumptions, missing critical (known) mechanisms, documented bias and large errors all produce easily verified as incorrect results of climate models. Coupled with an inability to predict the known past, these models imply a “signal” of 2 watts per square meter against known variations in natural affects 20x the size of the signal trying to be modeled. Given all this it is clear that the consistent inability to predict climate futures is expected. Inability to model cloud formation alone is a damning flaw in these models, and as everyone familiar with the complexity of cloud formation knows we won’t solve this problem soon, if ever. Worse the assumptions we are forced to make to land even a semblance of tractability to the modeling are patently false (there exists material portions of our planet in thermal equilibrium for example), rendering the effort interesting but a hopeless fraud from the start.Confronting non-scientifically but bright individuals with reality often immediately leads to appeals of authority and questions of motivation. The author briefly summarizes many basic motivations of the Climate Alarmism we live with today.We’ll done. Complex enough to be meaningful, but too complex so that most can absorb the material.

I liked the book but I have some training in thermodynamics so could appreciate what he was doing in the calculations. However, less numerate readers might have a difficult time with this. Nevertheless the author presents some very interesting analysis of the claims of CO2 being a major influence in warming. Also he does a good job of presenting and analyzing temperature data and shows how the World's temperature data is subject to significant error.You begin to understand that simple statements about temperature increase don't stand up to critical and detailed analysis. Just the measurement of temperature is complicated as I learned in a meterology course .

I bought the soft cover book. The book contains sections titled Acknowledgments, Foreward and Introduction. There are 12 chapters, a Conclusion, an Appendix, End Notes and a section About the Author. The End Notes section is actually a chapter-by-chapter reference list. An index section was not included. The chapters vary in length from 6 to 36 pages long. The author is Guy K. Mitchell, Jr. He is an engineer.I found the book to be well written with well formed prose. Clearly Mr. Mitchell knows what he wants to say, how to write about the subjects and gets the ideas across to the reader in an effective way. There are many figures in the book, but all of them are in gray tones. In some instances, a gray tone figure may be a little hard to read because the image is too light or the figure is too small. The gray tone images may have been included as a way to publish them in the book without objections from the original authors. Alternatively, it is cheaper to publish using gray tones.The chapters discussing anthropogenic global warming (chapters one, three and twelve), the 97% scientific consensus, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the scientific method, and thermodynamics (chapters seven to ten) were well written, well explained and “fleshed out” by Mr. Mitchell. It should be noted that some passages in the chapters concerning thermodynamics may be a little hard to understand for the reader who has not taken high school physics. Thermodynamics, itself, is not an easy subject to understand.Of greatest importance is the Conclusion chapter. In this chapter, Mr. Mitchell explains how the United States federal government overstepped its authority and used pseudo-science as a pretext to managing the coronavirus epidemic. He mentions the various personal restrictions, such as the lockdowns, closing churches and restricting the number of people who can meet together, all violations of constitutional freedoms. Mr. Mitchell explains that the actions taken by the federal government during the pandemic were a prelude to restrictions yet to come on civil liberties. He continues with President Biden’s and supporting politicians’ passage of legislation and regulations in order to allegedly combat climate change and save the planet. The legislation and the regulations are designed to ban the sale of fossil fuel burning cars by 2035, mandate the generation of electrical energy using only green resources (i.e. wind and solar), mandate the use of only green energy in homes, businesses and all other structures and exercise other restrictive measures in order to control the citizenry of Americans everywhere. He describes the beginning of a totalitarian state. Unfortunately, he states that we should contact our elected politicians in order to stop and reverse these actions. However, almost 100% of Democrats in government and the majority of Republicans are already followers of the green movement – because they want the power and money that goes along with it.I thought the book “Global Warming: The Great Deception” is one of the best books on the climate that I have read. I strongly recommend it to those readers who want to understand the basic mechanics of how the weather and climate take place and how we got into this anthropogenic climate change mess. I also recommend it to those individuals who are concerned that America is going down the wrong path to the future and is heading to its own self-made destruction.Raphael KetaniSunnyside, NY

A great book to ponder the debate on climate change. The book reinforces my previous understandings of the sun, it’s cycles and it’s impact on climate change. We humans are so short sighted in terms of geological terms and this book is presented with factual data, and sound reasoning. I wish more prominent engineers and scientists would be as brave as this author to engage our critical thinking skills on climate change.

It’s clear the author has taken the time to educate himself and look at the climate change narrative from an objective standpoint.The book is often quite technical and certain passages may need to be re-read to understand the dynamics of the climate processes. However, there is ample information that everyone can understand that paints a completely different picture to that being constantly portrayed by the media, that humans are responsible for climate mainly through CO2 output. Many of the points discussed are eye openers as to how crudely measurements are taken, how easy results can be manipulated and how climate change models fail when given empirical data.It’s my impression the author’s main interest is to seek out the truth even if it goes against mainstream thought, quite a brave thing to do in a world where reason has been hijacked by blind belief.As with all subjects, it’s important to look at all angles for a better understanding, so with a topic as important as ‘Climate change’ I would venture to say it should be obligatory to read this book!

A very clear, succinct book with a multitude of references to the science supporting it. This should be compulsory reading in Schools.
