The New Climate War by Michael E. Mann - our reviews
Posted on 4 June 2021 by BaerbelW , timo, jg

Since its publication in January 2021, several members from our team have read Michael E. Mann's latest book "The New Climate War". This blog post contains our reviews as well as the recording of a book reading from a side event at the Leipzig Book Fair.

BookCover
Forewarned is forearmed - Bärbel Winkler

Michael Mann‘s book is essential reading for anybody who doesn‘t accidentally want to fall for the latest tricks utilized by the fossil fuel industry and other groups heavily invested in the status quo. He shines the spotlight on the various underhanded tactics with which these vested interests and inactivists try to drive a wedge into the climate movement or try to shift the blame for the climate crisis from them to us as consumers. Once you know what to be on the lookout for, you‘ll no longer fall prey to these methods and can also call them out when you see others falling for them, who haven‘t been made aware of the tactics yet. Forewarned is forearmed as the saying goes!

Michael Mann also offers hope as he sees outright climate science denial on the way out, basically fighting rearguard skirmishes as the evidence for human-caused global warming is more and more in front of everybodys eyes, making it ever harder to deny. Even though there‘s obviously urgency needed to tackle the climate crisis he‘s nonetheless hopeful that we can do it because we also have the agency to act, meaning that we already have most of the needed options in our toolbox with which we can set ourselves on a path to wean ourselves from fossil fuels.

What we have to make sure to not lose sight of that task however, is to all be aware of the tactics applied by the various breeds of inactivists like the downplayers, deflectors, delayers, dividers, and doomers. Michael Mann‘s book is a great help with that!

Climate Change has been perpetuated as the biggest scam in human history.

What the socialist and communist could not do with bullets and wars is being waged as a war of lies and distortions for 3rd world wealth redistribution.  How the algore et. al were able to dupe the world is truly mind boggling.

As Marx said when he was creating the modern version of that old-time religion, socialism, "religion is the opiate of the masses".

The Cult of Anthropogenic Global Warmingcoolingnotchanging is a religion and nothing but a religion.  It's as valid as Scientology, and look at all the money that scam has gathered for it's cult leaders.
The GOP is not the party leadership.  The GOP is the party MEMBERSHIP.   The members need to kick the leaders out if they leaders are going the wrong way.  No coddling allowed.

The nazis had a generation of programming people so intensely they actually believed the Fuhrer would save them, even as the allies were shelling Berlin.

So it is with the whole AGW/climate scam, from the child indoctrination of Captain Planet, to the hijacking of science departments in Universities to continue the programming, and as always, proselytized by complicit media raving the same lunacy.

The pollution of the early 60s was often stopped, remediated, even cleaned up, which left the proponents of a cleaner environment with dwindling purpose, and with dwindling relevance as the skies grew clearer, the rivers cleaner, the land less contaminated by industry.
 
Bureaucracy will not suffer any diminution of its existence, and the bureaucracy formed to mitigate pollution and protect the ecology (now rebranded "the environment") is no exception. 

The idea of maintaining ecological balance was lost in the superficial ravings of environmentalism's quest to preserve, in stasis, a dynamic system of complex interrelationships.

By gross oversimplification and trying to blame focused upon boogeymen (and a lot of 'massaging' data), even the 'science' became twisted into religious dogma, a cult which will require deprogramming if they do not prevail, or will necessarily die of self inflicted wounds if it does. Unfortunately, as that balance tips, and with growing totalitarianism, the indoctrinated ignorance of nature itself will mean that the very resources that might permit humanity to survive natural events and cycles will be thwarted, by decree. There is little satisfaction in being right if you are dead.

It is interesting that the same people, in the pursuit of titillation, will patently ignore simple and fundamental aspects of nature to pursue, even pride themselves in unnatural acts and creations from the union of species not united in nature. Such perversions do nothing for the survival of humanity, especially the adherents of such abominations, and perhaps that is just as well on a small scale, but inflicted on a large scale by totalitarian decree, can only have an adverse effect on all.

Should humanity survive long enough to have its fourth world war (which Einstein said would be fought with sticks and stones), it will have to shake off the pseudoscience which has become so popular in virtually every field. Mother Nature can be a mean mother, and does not suffer fools well.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Oh it's a "war" now. Next stop: climate criminals. Prepare for your struggle sessions.

The climate war has been fought for decades ...

Since the 1990s, it has been Global Warming, later rebranded Global Climate Change to cover the cold spells.

All I hear from rich elites with multiple mansions, yachts, and private jets is that I must sacrifice to save Mother Eatrh, while they buy dispensations in the form of Carbon Offset Credits.

They are not asking for equal shared sacrifice for the benefit of all humanity.  They are confiscating wealth, livelihoods, and quality of life from the unwashed masses for their own smug rich liberal elite self-adulation.

As typical with socialism, when I comes to Global Climate Change, some are more equal than others.

I will be more likely to believe it is a crisis when those who advocate it most strongly start acting like it is a crisis.

Not even close! https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/discovery-of-global-warming/

In 1896 the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius published a new idea. As humanity burned fossil fuels such as coal, which added carbon dioxide gas to the Earth’s atmosphere, we would raise the planet’s average temperature. This “greenhouse effect” was only one of many speculations about climate change, however, and not the most plausible. Scientists found technical reasons to argue that our emissions could not change the climate. Indeed most thought it was obvious that puny humanity could never affect the vast climate cycles, which were governed by a benign “balance of nature.” In any case major change seemed impossible except over tens of thousands of years.

And I can distinctly recall the fear mongering of global cooling and the coming ice age in the seventies.

And what is most amazing is that their solution to global cooling was exactly the same as global warming  and climate change.

According to the global warming whackos, global warming causes cold weather, so to them, cooling and warming are peas from the same pod.  Or put another way, cow pies from the same horse. :woohoo:

To the politicians the "solution" is always to give them more power. To the warmonologist "researchers" the solution is more grant money and more notoriety.

Yep! The coming ice age was the 'big thing'...only it as going to take longer than any of us would live, unlike the ten year doom cycle the liberals have (which I will believe when they stop buying and start just renting multimillion dollar waterfront mansions.)
