Tom Nelson reports:
I hate the idea of spending $9.99 on a climate hoax book, but I plan to get my money’s worth.
Searching Mann’s book for “denier” yielded 125 hits; “Morano” had 27 hits; “McIntyre” had 166 hits; “Watts” had 16 hits.
Mann’s book currently has 15 reviews on Amazon, all five-star, many by his warmist friends. I hope some climate realists eventually review the book as well.
=====================================================================
While I realize that many people don’t want to buy this book, please don’t pull a Peter Gleick and do reviews apparently in absentia. (I can’t emphasize this enough – don’t post a review if you have not read it.)
For some balance, may I also recommend Don’t Sell Your Coat by Harold Ambler.
The book is out on Kindle and doing much better, for instance competing successfully with Michael Mann’s The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars. It is now number 3 just ahead of Mann’s new book.
Buy the book here, also now on Kindle here.

lol, Steve Mac get under his skin?
It’s under science fiction, right?
Jeez, the ‘reviews’ are a little over the top aren’t they? Some are practically as long as a short story. Gotta love them innerwebs, anyone can claim to be something they are not (open minded).
Is is it found on Amazons science or science fiction section?
“Dispatches from the Front Line”
What a complete ?@ur momisugly!$^!
Haha, I am amused by looking at the names for the 5 star reviewers. Stacking the deck much?
Somebody check how many of those reviews come from the same office at Penn U
Dig, Mikey, dig . . . the faster, the deeper, the better.
Your gig is up, your 15 minutes of fame you have stretched to an hour, is so over.
‘don’t pull a Peter Gleick and do reviews apparently in absentia.’
Absolutely. It is appropriate to rate the helpfulness of reviews. Those reviews that are obviously placed by a crony should be rated appropriately.
The CAGW ship is taking on even more water…. or maybe ice?
The Himalayas and nearby peaks have lost no ice in past 10 years, study shows

There is still some garbage mixed in here, but the cracks are growing….
I’m with Tom on this, folks: No Peter Gleicking. If you don’t read it (I’m not going to), no review is forthcoming. I’ve had enough of Mann’s bitter smirk…so no Kindle for me.
Title should read “The Hockey Stick and the Propaganda Wars.”
I’d sooner stick pins in my eyes than have any money of mine making it’s way to Mann’s pockets!
Harold Ambler’s “Don’t Sell Your Coat” is amazing. He lays the truth out about the lies of Global Warming in a manner that is simple to understand. I highly recommend it!
Bearing in mind what else is happening in Prof. Mann’s life, I am not certain that subjecting himself to a Global Peer Review is the most sensible thing he has ever done.
Peter Gleick’s not revued it! Amazing, I’d have thought he’d be straight in there.
Here is Dr. Mann (one holding a notebook) and his gang demonstrating the CO2 cause:

This cartoon got me a ‘life ban’ on the Gavin’s Real Climate.
Obviously not a man with great sense of humour, not to mention that Gavin got his Phd from the same university I got MSc some years earlier.
Wow, there really IS a consensus, and their 15 views are there for everyone to see…I predict this will backfire bigtime, inflaming the debate to whole new level – but not as Mann might have hoped.
The hockey stick on the cover of his latest book looks more like a bent golf club. He’s reinstated the MWP the LIA and the little nubbins on the end is the “putter”. I commented on another thread to watch for a new hockey stick paper after he said that volcanic aerosols have been underestimated as coolants in the tree record. This will allow him to reinstate the LIA and blame it on volcanoes.
I’ll wait for the reviews. If there’s anything consequential, it will show up (with the nonconsequential) as talking points by warmist trolls. “From the Front Lines” suggests an activist view, not a scientific view. I suspect the book will be revealed to be so.
Looking at some of the reviews, it’s beggars belief that they don’t get taken down for the abuse of sceptics. These people just have no morales.
when Stephan Lewandowsky is your hottest fan you know you are at the bottom of the barrel. Prof Lewandowsky is the eco loony Winthrop Professor of Psychology ( yes, psychology !) at University of Western Australia. ( I new I switched from there to the other side of the country for a reason). According to the Prof, all us skeptics/deniers are as mad as hatters. Its a “fact” – we are manifestating of a mental disorder!
Read his “review” and fall about weeping with laughter.
Who really wants to waste their time and money on buying and reading his rubbish so they can write a review on it? What you can do is rate any positive reviews as unhelpful and also read the review for any lies within that, such as the usual ‘all deniers are funded by fossil fuel’, he was cleared by the 2 senate enquiries,etc., and also comment about why he refused requests to share his data and code, and what does he have to hide regarding the release of his emails.
I browsed the 5 star reviews on Amazon and want to hurl.
They certainly have “an agenda” to protect.
Indeed ! they need some reality check reviews !
I hope I see those 1 star reviews on the chart become “bottom heavy”.
Mann and all men deserve to know the truth.
“Searching Mann’s book for “denier” yielded 125 hits; “Morano” had 27 hits; “McIntyre” had 166 hits; “Watts” had 16 hits.”
I’m thinking that Mann’s “denier” designations will soon become a badge of honour – sort of like Stalin’s list of subversives, now recognized as heroes – though I think Anthony did not get his fair share.
Funny the way Mann’s book happened to finally pop out now, just as the German book is rocking his crumbling world (The Mayans were right about Mann’s world). I think I know which one will have more impact.
And if I was in the publishing business, I would definitely start promoting Crichton’s book ‘State of Fear’ again. It was too far ahead of its time when first published, and would have a great run now. Maybe even a movie version in a few years if the Hollywood types ever come to their senses.
