Anti-Global-Warming-Hysteria Book Is Driving Norwegian Alarmists Nuts

norway fjord forestsOther than by misspelling “fjord,” how would an American geologist draw the ire of a pair of Norwegian politicians? Answer: Write a book that counters the notion that human activity is causing the globe to warm with catastrophic consequences.

Gregory Wrightstone’s 2017 book, Inconvenient Facts: The Science That Al Gore Doesn’t Want You to Know, was published in Norway and is being promoted by the Climate Realists, a Norwegian organization, which shares the author’s view that modern warming is neither unusual nor unprecedented.

Backed with 90 illustrations and 15 pages of references, the book presents 60 footnoted facts inconvenient to the Western elite’s absurd narrative about global warming.

Among them: Most of the last 10,000 years have been warmer than today, including the Medieval Warm Period when Vikings raised barley on Greenland, and the Roman Warm Period when citrus grew in northern England.

After the Climate Realists announced plans to distribute the book to all 356 of Norway’s mayors, two members of Norway’s unicameral Stortinget — Tom-Christer Nilsen and Lene Westgaard-Halle — wrote the mayors a letter discouraging them from accepting a book that is popular “because lies are more entertaining” than the truth.

Mr. Wrightstone, recently named executive director of the Arlington, Virginia–based CO2 Coalition, responded with a letter of his own, noting that he has been accepted as an expert reviewer by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

“The two politicians claim to be ‘supporters of an open exchange of words.’ However, that is apparently only true if they agree with you,” says Mr. Wrightstone, whose book has been banned from his home library north of Pittsburgh and whose smartphone app was removed briefly from the Apple Store.

“The book is brilliant, very easily read,” says Morten Jødal, Climate Realists chairman of the board. Mr. Wrightstone’s rebuttal has been published in Norwegian newspapers, and distribution of the book to mayors will proceed in a few weeks, reports Mr. Jødal, a biologist and author of Environmental Myths, another book that critiques the global warming fraud.

Formerly head of the University of Oslo’s Center for Environment and Development, Mr. Jødal says, “Slowly, slowly I realized that the environmental movement is not competent. I started waking up to the fact that many environmental crises being described do not exist.”

Why would global warming be of interest to a country split by the Arctic Circle and 90 percent reliant on hydropower, an electricity source whose operations emit virtually no carbon dioxide — the bogeyman of global warmists?

“Politicians today talk about saving the world, beyond their own country,” says Mr. Jødal, who once worked at the Research Council of Norway. “They are convinced that the globe is threatened.”

Some climate alarmists say global warming will shut down the Gulf Stream and destroy its moderating effect on Norway’s climate, ensuring doom for everybody, Mr. Jødal scoffs.

A government proposal to eliminate the country’s 50 million tons of annual carbon dioxide emissions, without acknowledging its huge costs and lack of any benefit, is “totally ridiculous,” he says.

Norway’s vast forests (pictured) and algae-rich coastal waters, he adds, probably absorb more carbon dioxide than the country’s 5.4 million people emit.

Mr. Wrightstone predicts that the controversy will allow his fact- and science-based views on climate change to be presented to a much wider audience.

Three years after publication, Inconvenient Facts continues to be listed by Amazon as a best-seller in the public policy category. It will soon be published in Korean and is being considered for publication in Brazil.

    The book is both an excellent and easy read for the non scientific. It puts easy to understand science on the bones of what surely is common sense anyway. The inconvenient facts app, which has only
    recently be available for download in the U.K., puts the key points and facts from the book at your fingertips. I have also just finished Lukewarming by Patrick Michaels and Paul Knappenberger which is equally absorbing if a little more technical.

    What staggers me is why supposedly intelligent politicians continue to be beguiled by the environmental alarmists.

  5. Mark Wild says:

    “Man Made Global Warming” aka “Climate Change” has become, if it wasn’t always, a political tool. Hence the almost unanimous enthusiasm of politicians. The same is obviously true of the Covid-19 “pandemic”.

  6. Russell Johnson says:

    The madness of climate alarmists is not affected by facts or logic; to their disturbed minds the next prediction of disaster is simply another episode in a “reality show”. Every prediction is a pseudo-scientific attack designed to convince unaware people their lives are at risk. Blaming humanity for CC actually reveals their true agenda: controlling people! There’s no fight against CC the fight is against you and me!

    “Slowly, slowly I realized that the environmental movement is not competent.”

    I disagree. The activists of the environmental movement are highly competent, but not in any scientific way. The great competency of more than a few of them appears to lie in, quite frankly, promulgating downright lies, hypocrisy or both.

    Greenie attitudes towards our highly-regulated forestry industry here in Australia, preferring SE Asian timber imports which are produced to questionable environmental standards, are a case in point. This madness is championed as planet-saving, when what it seems to be really geared towards is destroying Australian jobs, employment which might encourage the fair and reasoned questioning of economically-destructive green policies for no or negative environmental benefit. Further, these greenies say nothing about the logging of forests in the northern hemisphere purely for burning as a poor substitute for coal in electricity generation plants.

    I have personally pointed out online to some greenies that I use firewood personally grown for most of my household heating when they have targetted me for being a farming ‘denier’ and that I did so without any environmental subsidies (the available ones being too restrictive for my purposes).

    The response is to immediately make the sneering attacks more personal. This is the other great competency of the environmental movement – the ability to ratchet up the emotional responses when their ‘facts’ and, thus, their virtue are threatened with exposure. This acts as a clarion call and others soon join in as a pack mentality develops.

    We should not confuse environmentalism with conservation. Environmentalism is about group political destruction, not nature conservation. This is one reason why scientific literacy amongst the environmentalist movement is so pathetically low. Environmental science is a mere disguise, a Trojan horse for a political power grab.

    • Gumnut says:
      5 years ago

      Their evident dislike of democracy is understandable given that their ideas and, often, their demeanour as well are sufficient to render them largely unelectable.

      They really do need that pseudo-scientific Trojan horse.

  8. chaamjamal says:
    5 years ago

    The science that Al Gore doesn’t want you to know is the science that Al Gore himself does not know and the science that David Attenborough doesn’t want you to know is the science that David Attenborough himself does not know and cannot see because of his biased view of nature. The nuts write the script because reality is boring when compared with the exciting weirdness of people like Gore and Attenborough.

    I read the book maybe 3 years ago and found it to be both entertaining but also factual and easy to understand for even those without science background. Well worth three cost and time to read it. I’m presently reading Joe Bastardi’s latest book, “The Weaponization of Weather in the Phony Climate War”.

    • John Shewchuk says:

      Concur. Both are great books.
