Preface


Prologue



Global Warming Hysteria: All natural disasters are now caused by global warming



Science Isn't Truth: What we know isn't necessarily so



How Weather Works: The Mission: to move heat from where there is more to where there is less



How Global Warming (Allegedly) Works: The popular explanation, and why it is probably wrong



The Scientists' Faith, the Environmentalists' Religion: Belief in dangerous global warming is more faith than science

The Politics of Climate Change: No other public issue has so much potential for abuse of authority



Dumb Global Warming Solutions: Are they really serious about fixing global warming, or are they just pulling our leg?



Less Dumb Global Warming Solutions: New energy technologies of the future are the only hope to "save" us from the threats posed by global warming
