Here is a book with a twist – an eco gone rogue and self modified into a climate change “denier”. His experience parallels many, actually, including some of mine (though I’d never join Greenpeace, UPDATE: and now after having read his Kindle book, I’ll point out that I believe that CO2 has some effect, but far less than has been claimed, especially where feedbacks operate) – Anthony
From the description:
Paul Caruso once lived in an off-grid eco-community, grew much of his own food and was an active member of Greenpeace. However, over the past few years he has lost his faith in human induced climate change and become a denier!
He doesn’t really deny that the climate is changing – he has just come to the conclusion that it is natural variation.
It seems that increasing numbers of people are becoming sceptical about the human induced part of global warming and this book attempts to show climate scientists why and, perhaps more importantly, what they can do about it.
There are certain specific points that climate scientists are not currently answering and which they urgently need to answer if they want to convince people.

“…specific points that climate scientists are not currently answering.”
Gosh, ya think?

A pity it is only available through Amazon and only on Kindle.
I would buy a paper copy if it was available from somewhere.
I would of put a broken Hockey Stick on the front cover.
Mann is the only climate scientist that adds #denier to almost every tweet.
WOW! gamekeeper turned poacher,he’ll be as popular as a fart in a space suit with the lentil brigade.
Wonder if he believes the moon landings were faked?LOL (sarc off)
Oldseadog,
Take a look here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1000493771
The link is to Amazon’s free kindle reader software for various systems.
Sorry but for whatever reason that link isn’t working.
Well done Mr Caruso. No reviews on Amazon yet – just wait until the Alarmists notice and pile in.
It must have been a hiccup on amazon’s end when I test the link after posting it appears to be work correctly.
“I genuinely would like to be persuaded again that CO2 is causing, or even could cause, us a problem” — Book Author
That right there is a fellow suffering withdrawal symptoms of his apocalypse addiction. It can be fatal without replacement therapy at a misanthropy clinic.
Unfortunately for the Alarmist crowd, knowledge is the antidote to Belief. You can’t un-bite the apple.
Why would anyone be so eager to be convinced that CO2 is causing AGW after realizing they were scammed the first time around by Gore, Mann, Hansen, Jones, IPCC, Liberal agenda, and Green lobby?
Don’t sheep ever learn? Are they just looking for something to have faith in? Are these people prime for another scam, even another dictator to follow?

The link is working but I still can’t find a paper copy.
Thanks all the same.
Paul, why would you genuinely want to be convinced? I guess you invested many years in belief and would like to not think it was wasted. You didn’t study engineering or non-environmental science or you would have asked the questions at the beginning. The terminally corrupted “humanities” are induction centres for creating robotic tools for Greenpeace and other doctrinaire groups. Good on ya for making your escape, but not only are you not going to get empirical evidence from these cults, but you must already have been ostracized for asking. All skeptics had to do was ask for evidence and this engendered hate and threats. Even the much beloved Greenpeace warned us!!

This problem could be well served by governments establishing a new interior department, and perhaps calling it the Ministry of Love. I received this inspiration from George Orwell’s 1984.
A cry for help from an enlightened person wanting to lose knowledge.

WOW! gamekeeper turned poacher,

Fixed your post… WOW! Poacher turned gamekeeper,
Why didn’t I think of that! (The standard reaction when a good idea is presented.)
The sneak peek on amazon shows the contents and the first couple sections. Looks intriguing, I may have to commandeer my wife’s kindle.
The contents suggest he’s laid it out logically and covered much of the issue, although this from the contents is a bit troubling:
”Part 4: Is it realistic that CO2 could cause runaway global warming?
Yea, the hyper-alarmists claim this kind of thing, but your average mitigation advocating climate scientist doesn’t claim CO2 can cause runaway global warming.
This line from the first section more than makes up for it though:
”I can suggest a much simpler solution to the problem of ’sceptics’ and ‘deniers’ – publish some verifiable empirical evidence that supports your argument.”
Yes! Don’t bother going around chasing the ice in an effort to convince me that immediate mitigation action is required dude, evidence of warming is not evidence of anthropogenic global warming and certainly isn’t evidence of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming.
Evidence? He expected to get evidence from a bunch of people who thinks its beneath them to even debate their opponents on a scientific question? How naive. AGW is a religion.
Re: “climate change denier”
The latest parlance is “Climate Denier”.
There is no sun, there is no rain, there is no temperature, there are only Koch brothers and bucktoothed illiterates..
Welcome to the club, Mr. Caruso! Anthony hosts 12-Step meetings for former CAGW believers.
I like how the title implies that the book is nothing but a cultist diatribe bashing CAGW skeptics. It’s a good thing there isn’t much going on upstairs in a cultist’s head or it would explode after the first page.
Sounds like a sensible read. It’s interesting to see someone who has walked the walk and not just talked it, turn into a sceptic. This sort of person is exactly who is needed to stand before the authorities and talk because they can’t be accused of trying to cling greedily to a bloated lifestyle. They know what the ‘good life’ is like. It’s very easy for wealthy people to agree with cutting CO2 because it would never be them who actually suffers a cut in lifestyle. When you can buy an island and live like a king (eg Branson), paying for your emissions rather an actually cutting them, why wouldn’t you casually condemn the rest of us to CO2 penury? Far harder to make the cuts and still agree that climate science is good enough to justify that life.
Better late than never.

You mean the moon landings were real? /do I really need the sarc?
I believe past global warming from CO2 raised sea levels to the extent that the continent of Atlantis was inundated and sunk.
So a guy who admits that he wants to believe a catastrophe is impending has published a book explaining how to convince him and is charging money for it. Skeptics beware, this guy isn’t trying to convince anyone of anything, he’s trying to make a buck by fleecing skeptics.
