Publisher's Synopsis
Did you know that Global Warming made civilization possible 12,000 years ago?... that strong tornadoes (EF3-EF5) are on a 60-year downtrend?... that hurricanes and typhoons are on a similar downtrend? (Dr. Ryan Maue) Life prefers the warmth. We only need look at population gradients to see this. Planta and animals like it warm, too. Life needs 4 key ingredients: - Warmth, - Water, - Nutrients, and - Plenty of the right gas: oxygen for animals, carbon dioxide for plants. This book tackles the lies and half-truths about climate with facts and a deep understanding of science. It backs up its assertions with decades of scientific evidence. It delves into the corruption of language and how terms like "climate change" and "global warming" have been kidnapped and forced to wear false definitions. It should be obvious that all changes come with some difficulty. That's a part of life. But fearing global warming is like a hungry man fearing food. Lies include, - CO2 is a pollutant (it's not and never has been); - Warming causes more and stronger storms (wind does not come from heat alone; Venus has frightening heat, but very little surface wind); - Warming causes droughts (land never gets any water without warmth; if you want more droughts, try global cooling); - Oceans are soaking up CO2 and becoming acidic (actually, oceans are emitting CO2 from the warmth and they have never been acidic throughout the history of life on land); and - Recent years have been the warmest on record (NASA scientists admitted that they were only 38% certain of this claim in January 2015). Thermophobia is a cautionary tale of international deception and powerful intrigue. At stake is the very life of civilization itself. If people are not prepared for the eventual glacial climate of the current Ice Age, or do not take action to end the current Ice Age, then billions could die from the cold directly, from the scarcity of rain, from failed crops, and from the eventual food wars. No one knows when the next glacial period will begin, but the average interglacial is 11,000 years long, and our Holocene is already as much as 17,000 years old. When the Holocene does end, we could see another 90,000 years without summers, rain, crops, food and civilization. Thermophobia may very well be the most dangerous disease ever to strike humanity. The cure is knowledge.
