Dad, Why Are You A Global Warming Denier? by Bob Tisdale is only available, and will only be available, from Amazon in Kindle reader format.
Its introduction begins:
I penned the following short-story, set in the year 2017, as a series of conversations between a twentysomething daughter and her mid-50s father. The father is a heretic of the church of catastrophic human-induced global warming/climate change. The daughter, Anna, is a believer.
This work includes quotes from the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and a well-respected politician. It also includes 22 illustrations, most of which are in color. And there are hyperlinks for those of you using Kindle readers where hyperlinks will work.
To put that in perspective, the hyperlinks worked on my Kindle Paperwhite, all but the links to .pdf documents, which were not supported.
Dad, Why Are You A Global Warming Denier? is more than 26,000-words long—way too long for a blog post.
The work also includes a very basic, but extremely important aspect of El Niño events that I don’t believe I’ve ever presented before in a blog post or in my free ebook on ENSO. But I do recall mentioning that aspect in a few passing blog comments over the years.
I’ve also included numerous quotes from Margaret Thatcher’s memoire Statecraft, all from the heading of Hot Air and Global Warming, many of which I have not been able to find readily online, but they are definitely worth reading.
As I wrote in the closing comments of the short story, I also have to thank the very dear friend who edited this short story. She made it much, much easier to read. As in the past, she has asked to remain anonymous due to the political nature of the global warming debate. Any remaining typos and grammatical errors are mine, not hers.
I had a lot of fun writing Dad, Why Are You A Global Warming Denier? I hope you learn something, many things, from it while having fun reading it.
Ciao

Bob,
Nice to hear from you again. Welcome back. I already purchased the book and will read it today while I try to keep from freezing in Durham, NC – current temp 4F.
I find your words, “….is more than 26,000-words long—way too long for a blog post”, to be quite disingenuous. You had never the intent to blog this work, how could you, since profit was always the goal, and to use this site as an avenue to click and bait people into a profit scheme. As a scientist myself, I find this highly disreputable along with much of your poor work. It is exactly this kind of duplicitous under-handedness why so much of science is coming into question these days, when even people like yourself Mr. Tisdale, take other people’s work, especially work that is paid for and supported by the tax payer, and turn it into a cash grab all because you think you can put some cosmetic words and ribbons that have absolute no scientific added value.
Kindle indeed. You ought to be ashamed of yourself Mr. Tisdale. By the way, I fully understand why your editor wishes to stay unknown, I would too, gathering by your past laughable accomplishments.
And for the record, your book which has what, about 80 pages of content, and most of it as you have admitted is not even your own work, amounting to what, 8 or 10 pages of fluff added by you, illustrates the typical poor content and poor opinionated science, and third rate scientific discussion that goes on at this site.
WUWT is turning into every bit what the AGW morons have become: moronic science nonsense statistical sycophants with NO real hard physics/science ability. The amount of rubbish you people institute from data is amazing!
Once upon a time this site had a little bit – I do mean a very little bit – of merit, but now, this site is now no better than that lying, cheating, idiot Nye. At least Nye doesn’t hide the fact that he has Hollywood supporting him, while this site is just Hollywood Science and doesn’t even know it. Its one thing to deceive knowingly, like Nye does, but the real danger is not people like Nye whom knowingly deceive, but people like Tisdale and WUWT, that deceive people because they are too absorbed in their own self value. It is the later that the presents the greatest danger to Society.
This site is becoming more and more ridiculous and detached with each and passing year.
I fully expect these words to never see the light of day, but if they do, remember dear readers, it may only cost $3.76 for Tisdale’s book, but ask Mr. Tisdale, how much of that $3.76 will he give back to all the taxpayers that paid for all the REAL work that went into that book? Or are all those elegant words and ribbons you added so important and require to be copyrighted! I think, people, you’re starting to get the real purpose of the book now.
Absolutely disgraceful Tisdale. Absolutely!
2018, another year we all head deeper into The Science Dark Ages, that’s to the likes of WUWT and the Tisdale’s of the world. The shame of it all, the shame.
It sounds like a personal problem to me.
Seems to be a number of unfounded, speculative, and insulting comments on this thread.
And a few thank yous, welcome backs, and the like. To those with positive comments, thank you.
To the rest of you…
Adios
Dorian, impeached by the self-assigned epithet scientist.
Time for your meds., Dorian.
You are correct Dorian, this site has become very detached as of late.
What a brain dead ugly leftist you must be. Ick.
Dorian
Bob Tisdale has done as much to educate people on this subject as anyone anywhere.
He has always done so as a gentleman and never pushes an agenda, you are totally out of line with your comments.

Hey Dorian, this science research link is for you bud.

Dorian:
Just out of curiousity, what was the ticket price to see Gore’s latest climate porn movie Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power? I can’t tell because it isn’t playing anywhere but I don’t think it was ever free. Must have been charging too much since it did poorly compared to the original. How much original content did Gore actually contributed to his movie? Or did he just take a bunch of taxpayer-funded work and use it as a cash grab to promote carbon tax schemes that would make him billions?
And I don’t see that those “hard working” climate scientists are doing too badly, considering the case of Jagadish Shukla.
The way it works Dorian is if Bob Tisdale makes a pile of money selling E-books on Amazon, that is called “income” under the US tax code and the Federal government, and perhaps the state where Bob resides will assess what is called “income tax”, wherein they invite Bob to write them a check. Those same governments will then take that tax revenue and use it to pay for more things than all of us together could possible enumerate, but including some research by “real scientists”.
For my part, I heartily second Ristvan’s “welcome back” to Bob Tisdale.
Dorian is the source of a vicious and unmeritable attack on Bob Tisdale. The global warming advocates with whom I am acquainted are fundamentalist de-industrialisers. They really do want to destroy civilisation. Bob Tisdale upholds and defends civilisation.
I imagine Dorian will be writing a nasty letter to Michael Mann about now.
Hardly, he probably bought 20 books from Michael Mann to give out to his friends.
The shorter Dorian: How dare you peer review science on the public drip unless you’re on the public teat yourself.
The essence of pal review and they have the gall to accuse anyone outside the inner circle of being in the pay of Big Oil of working for profit. Welcome to this taxpayer free site Dorian.
Bob Tisdale: I have begun reading your book, and thank you for it. I almost didn’t get it because I felt there was an implication that a brilliant MALE is needed to tell us silly females. But, maybe that is just my life experience bleeding over. — Nonetheless, I was trying to collect all the reasons/logic/arguments, and this adds. I had never thought about the precipitation angle. — Still reading.
There are no silly females over here. Unless they are Leftists. 🙂
If you want a female’s take on climate change, try Judith Curry. She recently testified before Congress on the subject.
Other notable dissenting females with websites or blogs to read are Crockford (forgot her first name—Susan?, Donna Laframboise, JoNova, and Lucia. Probably more that I’ll remember after I hit Reply.
TA, Thank you for that remark about women. My Dad felt the same way. I do read Judith Curry, following her blog and facebook presence.
Just got it. I too have a 20 something daughter. Thank you. The political climate science messaging harassment problem through Facebook, HuffPo, and many others is greater than Weinstein and Company in the current wave of awareness.
Now I just need to find out how to share the ebook with her.
Thank You Bob Tisdale. I have purchased the book and started reading it. I am hoping I can use it to communicate on this with my grown grandchildren and children. I plan on gifting a bunch of copies as well.
Your work is much appreciated. I am in awe of the quality and volume.
When my son asked why I didn’t understand things the way he does, I apologized for not subjecting him to religion more.
His next book should be: “Dad, why do scientists laugh at you ? “
I’m 2/3 through. It’s very Heinlein-like, especially in its main character.
Bought from Amazon UK and look forward to reading it.
It sounds like a great book, with a catchy title that may incite young people to read it, and possibly become global warming skeptics.
He could follow it up with further books addressing other aspects of the issue with titles like, Bro, Why Are You a Global Warming Denier?, Cuz, Why Are You a Global Warming Denier?, Unk, Why Are You a Global Warming Denier?, etc.
Speaking of catchy titles, here’s one that popped into my head last night for a UFO book: Not Swamp Gas:
Roger Knights – My favorite is a possible book cover by Alistair Riddoch. “Climate Change, a Virgin’s Nightmare” and then “It’s so hard these days to find a virgin to sacrifice herself to prevent climate change.” I found it on Facebook in the comments under his Dec 13 post about Michael Crichton. I do not know how to post a picture here, otherwise I would treat you to that. I think this link will get you to the post, and it is the 3rd comment up from the bottom. https://www.facebook.com/alistair.riddoch/posts/10215247685329946?comment_id=10215448814518050¬if_id=1515194955362665¬if_t=feedback_reaction_generic&ref=notif
Only twentysomething daughters miseducated in alt-left universities would be asking such question. If we teach children science instead of “climate change” even Jadyn Rylee would be asking “dad, why do they believe in global warming catastrophe?”
Well Bob, I have submitted your book to my daughter, who is finishing HS, and looking to an Environmental Science degree in college. I am hoping this book will help enlighten, as it does play into her and my future post haste.
Thanks for all you have done, regardless!
