This is the equivalent of a modem day book burning.
As reported on WUWT on Tuesday, New book from Dr. Roy Spencer on Al Gore’s fallacies: An Inconvenient Deception – How Al Gore Distorts Climate Science and Energy Policy – Al Gore has provided a target-rich environment of deceptions in his new movie.
Now, Dr. Spencer reports his website drroyspencer.com has become inoperable due to attacks:
Hell hath no fury like an alarmist scorned. I’ve been the victim of The Wrath of Gore too..
After Climategate, WordPress.com reported that all advertising they sponsor via Google Adwords was inexplicably pulled from their servers whenever it was displayed on WUWT. When wordpress.com executives requested a meeting with Google to explain this, it was at first granted, then canceled 24 hours later with no explanation and attempts to reschedule fell on deaf ears.
Mr. Gore of course, is on the board of directors for Google.
So let’s send these fools a message, by Dr. Spencer’s book: entitled An Inconvenient Deception: How Al Gore Distorts Climate Science and Energy Policy

Perhaps trivial but there is a typo present.
Sorry, spotted another – “modem day book burning”.
Book burning via modem?
Assholes!!
Bought it

Proceeds from Mr. Gore’s books go to charity. No, no, no thank you – please don’t make such a – no, no, you musn’t…it is such a small .. no…the least I could do…
Gore’s book sold a LOT, and his move was seen a LOT. Yet he gave proceeds to charity. How magnanimous! And how does he pay his bills?!
We have to realize: this dude is super, duper, uber, wealthy. He and a pal established Generations Investment Management, LLP. They have done so well that thy are no longer taking any more investors.
This firm takes institutional investments from VERY large investors (5m+) – COUNTRIES, the BBC, etc., and invests their pensions in green / “sustainable” investments.
All of that is good and fine. Cities, counties, and countries need places to invest their pension funds. But here is the sick part: Al Gore is helping build the market in which he is trying to get you to invest. To invest on to angles: one: receive a yield – OK, good; the OTHER – hey, jump on the bandwagon of committing your country to devote investments in green, and devote effort to international treaties REQUIRING green commitment, and you get in on the ground floor! <–THIS is like establishing a treaty among nations to paint ALL government building rooftops white in order to reflect sunlight, AND having a monopoly on white paint.
So, Al oversees HUGE investment funds. Huge. Even if he only skims a broker fee of 0.0001%, he is as rich as Solomon evar was. Think about it.

Al Dork was on Google board.
When Climategate broke, it was a popular story that Google would not support the search for “climategate” with auto-complete. You would type in “climateg” “climatega” and “climategate” would not pop up as as suggested auto-complete in Google search.
This hit the news big time. Once enough people were pointing it out, they gave up on that specific bit of censorship.
Now, I cannot find a web page covering that story – the search terms are too common. If anyone can post a link documenting this, it would be appreciated by me. And maybe others.
2 hours? That is the most amazing, long lasting attention span of a liberal I have ever witnessed.
correlation is not causation. This basic web service also hosted alt-right stuff and was maybe targeted by anti-fascists

Is Dr. Spencer’s book only available on Kindle or can I buy a paperback?
I have been trying to buy it on Amazon Kindle and it keeps responding there is a problem and I need to call them. Is this related?
Had this problem all morning. It downloaded now. Maybe too many trying to buy it. At least that would be cool.
This sort of action should encourage sceptics.
This sort of action confirms that warmists are concerned that the science is flawed and anything but settled, and are concerned that it can not withstand the rigours of debate and honest examination.
This sort of action confirms that sceptics are on the right track, and hold the better scientific ground.
Roy Spencer comments on a thread on his own site a few hours after the downtime:
“[The ISP] confirmed it was a DDoS attack, but whether it was because of me we will never know. Took down most of the hosts network.” http://www.drroyspencer.com/2017/08/skeptic-beating-al-gore-on-amazon/#comment-259758
By which I presume he means other websites hosted by the same ISP were similarly affected; if so, then it’s not clear that this short outage was even directed at Roy’s site. Perhaps some here have overestimated the reach of Al Gore’s Machiavellian tentacles?
As I understand it, DDOS attacks are highly illegal. One would think the FBI / CIA would jump on this particular DDOS as it is political in nature and therefore even more laws come into play, especially foreign collusion helping a particular political party.
Bought it AND read it already. Excellent book. Well done, Roy.
Amazon (UK) lists this book as #1 in 2 categories and #7 in another – that can’t be bad and is probably partly due to the interest that Anthony has generated by publicising it on this page.
Al “The Blimp” Gore is the Bozo the Clown of Climate Science.
Immediately after climategate, the Google search engine reported crazy “hit” figures for searches for “climategate” leading to suggestions that the real figures were being hidden and replaced by humanly-invented ones. The term Googlegate was coined, but eventually the issue was absorbed into a wider issue of allegations that Google was trying to manipulate both hit counts and search result prioritization for their own political ends, rather than simply running a business.
I am very impressed with Roy Spencer’s eclectic publication topic range. In addition to a good number of climate books, he’s written books on economics (how free enterprise works), a literary/historical work on DH Lawrence, a book on how to draw the human body, one on how to draw children, a book on classic auto racing… No wonder we were treated to the shameful spectacle of Gavin Schmidt scuttling away from a TV interview like rat when Roy Spencer entered.the set to engage in a debate.Roy is indeed a formidable (though very polite) guy!
