This book, Climate Change: The Facts of which I’m a co-author, is becoming a powerhouse on Amazon, here are the latest numbers as they compare to Dr. Michael Mann’s new book.
#1 in Environment! and #74 in All Books!
Details here
And #1 in Climatology too!
#82,090 in Books
Get your copy here: (available on Kindle, backordered AVAILABLE AGAIN in hard copy)
It is #1 in Environmental Science, Climatology, and Environmental Policy.
This PROVE that the public at large is smarter than western governments including our own
Michael Mann’s Dire Predictions:
#82,090 in Books

Nice try, but this is figure is completely misleading, because the ranking uses actual data (purchases) rather than homogenized, TOA adjusted, Kriged, tree ring proxy survey data, which when Mosherized shows that Mann’s book actually outsells 97% of all books published since 1850 at a 95% confidence level.
Amazon is obviously run by a bunch Fake-Moon-Landing-Believing, Koch Brothers Funded, Flat-Earthers who deny that the science is settled.
The Mosherization Process is too horrible to contemplate!
Minor correction: This week’s ClimSci confidence level is 90%. Next week’s blue light special confidence level will be 50% using three-sided probability.
Wow. Skipped the last half of these 322 comments. Too much B. S. Pun intended. 😜
Mann is now the climate alarmists very own Ray Comfort.
Go bananas Micky!
Bought the book (of course) and read most of it but In the beginning of the book Professor Ian Plimer states that “the sea level the Maldives in the 1970s was 70 centimeters higher than at present”.
While remarkable if true, there is no reference for that statement.
I have searched everywhere but no luck.
Can anybody tell me where I can find where the data is to support that statement?

Moerner of course was savagely attacked by the usual suspects, to include the Guardian, but his geological work is IMO solid.
Thanks sturgishooper , much appreciated.
Nils-Axel Mörner is the most knowledgeable scientist when it comes to sea levels.
As for the Gruniad, it isn’t worth the paper it is printed on.
I’ve seen Ian Plimer’s chapter criticized elsewhere, but I’m mostly comfortable with it. I do wish he had included footnotes, though. I assume his comment about CO2 being 1000x higher in the earlier ice ages should have read that CO2 was 1000 ppm in the earlier ice ages, is that not correct? Was that a typo or was he referring to a very early ice age in the Paleozoic? Now that I look at the sentence again, I think he might have meant the latter.
The highest estimate I’ve ever seen of historical atmospheric CO2 was – 8000ppm/atm, several million years ago. That would be 20X higher than at present.
Yeah, gotta be a typo. 1000 x 400 is 400,000 or 40% of the atmosphere. It hasn’t ever been that high. But, certainly we had ice ages when CO2 was 1000 ppm or close to it.
It is estimated that the CO2 level reached around 10 percent (100,000 ppm) at the end of the “snowball” phase of Earth glaciation; without which extreme level of CO2 Earth would have remained snowball forever.
Re: the advertising. 1) You allow WordPress to host ads if you want to have a free site. You get a free site – they get the money. 2) Revenue depends on the model. Is the advertiser paying per impression (the ad showing up), or per click-through (when someone actually clicks on the ad)? Makes a big difference. 3) Revenue also depends on the advertiser. The seller of advertising is going to charge Toyota a lot more for their web ad – reasonable, because the seller will take extra care to place the ad where it will get the most customers, not on a random rotation. (Someone at Toyota is also going to be very carefully analyzing the actual sales and profit that result – and negotiate their contract accordingly.)
WordPress is probably making a decent profit after expenses. Not a huge one, but a nice one – they would probably try hard to keep WUWT if Anthony ever evidenced a desire to leave.
That book would have a higher ranking if it was available in print again. Unfortunately, this is not the case still. Is it publisher’s negligence or incompetence or even sabotage by Amazon? Freedom of the press is a great thing, but of absolutely no avail when there are no prints…
Very well written. Good point by point exposition of the primary arguments. I have purchased a paper copy for a good but alarmist friend. In exchange I will read any book he cares to offer.
HT to the authors
Yet another comment culled by the Mod – it must depend who’s on guard duty

I am curious as to why I haven’t been able to get this post on my old iPad but have no problem on this Android ‘phone. I tried 5 times on the former and it kept spitting the dummy; three times on this ‘phone with no hesitation. Surely not being censored?!
I just found the new ‘phone ‘corrected’ my email address…is that why it [went] into .moderation?

#74!!! And as far as I can see, that’s all books, not just non-fiction.
Wow!
