My New Book – Soaring on Amazon – Get your copy now!

Climate at a Glance is Available for Purchase Today on Amazon. It has already jumped to the top of many book categories for “new releases.” It is now the #1 new release in Climatology.

So I’ve been working on this for about a year. It’s ready. I give it about 72 hours before the forces of darkness try to take it down from Amazon. (Update : it has started, see review posted below.)

My new book: Climate at a Glance for Teachers and Students: Facts on 30 Prominent Climate Topics – is available on Amazon.com for the first time and debuted on Earth Day 

Although I’m the primary author, the book is published by The Heartland Institute, the 2022 edition of the book breaks down 30 of the most frequently argued climate issues into short, “at-a-glance” summaries that provide, accurate, critical information concerning climate change. Topics include the latest data and analysis of the climate’s effect on crop production, drought, floods, coral reefs, sea-level rise, ice melt, extreme weather, the urban heat-island effect, wildfires, polar bears, the effect of COVID-19 on carbon dioxide levels, and more.

“Each topic has key takeaways, and is cited and referenced, often using U.S. government data from NOAA, NASA, EPA and other agencies to cut through the clutter and show the reality of each climate topic,” said Heartland Institute Senior fellow Anthony Watts,

“After spending decades on-camera during the evening TV news presenting meteorological events and trying to explain them in a way that a layperson can understand, I applied that experience to the production of this book.

“Simple, easy-to-digest explanations, factual references, and compelling graphics allow for easy reading of what are often complex climate topics,” Watts said.

BONUS: The paperback of the book contains links and a scannable QR-code to freely downloadable and distributable digital PDF copies of the book, as well as a PowerPoint slide deck for all the topics.

Co-author and Heartland Institute President James Taylor, who has studied, debated, and written about environmental and energy issues for nearly 20 years, says this book is an essential resource for teachers, students, and parents to counter the one-sided and alarmist climate instruction in most public schools today.

“The environmental left has done everything in its power to monopolize climate messaging and prevent students from learning the truth about asserted climate change,” Taylor said. “Climate at a Glance for Teachers and Students shows that scientific truth will always win out over agenda-driven propaganda.”

H. Sterling Burnett, director of the Arthur B. Robinson Center on Climate and Environment Policy at The Heartland Institute, edited Watts’ and Taylor’s work. The book presents facts without the “hyperbolic statements of doom” common in academia and popular culture.

“If teachers are going to discuss climate change in their classrooms, the discussions should be grounded in an accurate representation of the science,” Burnett said. “Climate at a Glance provides this in a form easily accessible for teachers and students alike. Without frills or hyperbolic statements of doom, using verifiable data for topic after topic, Climate at a Glance demonstrates there is no climate crisis.”


UPDATE: Barton Paul Levinson, who hangs out at RealClimate has posted an Amazon review that is in my opinion, libelous. I doubt he even read it. There’s no “fossil fuel” money behind this. And I challenge him to factually discredit any entry. He can’t, so he resorts to this.

Readers of the book can post their own review, but please read it first.

I have it here now
I will be sharing a review with a bunch of folks I know
Make sure my 2 copies to get to teachers.
And then will buy more to share with others including politicians here in California
I have already prepared a presentation with similar but far less information I have been sharing with folks.
I must apologize ahead of time that I will add a lot of the graphics and information in the book (with acknowledgements of course) to my presentation
Please pray that I can make a difference behind the lines.

Received my copy yesterday. Great job on highlighting reality on the top big issues that are always grossly misrepresented by the idiot climate alarmist Democratic Party buffoons, their ignorant and incompetent shills in the media and the never ending propaganda machine at the UN IPCC.

The EU and UK are now living the horror of renewable energy mandates that are destroying economies and the Ukraine is paying the price of these nations absurd energy and climate policy incompetence that has weakened the ability to fight dangerous dictatorships.

I get the idea that the forces of darkness will waste little time on organising rapid excommunication – possibly followed by a burning at the stake on social media. 

But my question is this: how will you convince teachers to even consider this book when they themselves have been indoctrinated and firmly believe the narrative? Their unions are… firm believers in the narrative…

“Education unions call for urgent action on climate change crisis “

https://www.unison.org.uk/news/press-release/2021/10/education-unions-call-for-urgent-action-on-climate-change-crisis/

That’s long before kids get to wokesville – formerly known as a university.

PS, Anthony: I truly hope that your sales of Climate at a Glance for Teachers and Students: Facts on 30 Prominent Climate Topics do stay high, because mine always started off well and then dropped to obscurity a short time later.

Example: Dad, Why Are You A Global Warming Denier? was number one in two categories on Amazon a day after it was released there, as I documented in the post here:
Eeeek! DAD, WHY ARE YOU A GLOBAL WARMING DENIER? Is Number 1 on TWO Amazon Best Seller Lists | Bob Tisdale – Climate Observations (wordpress.com)
Now, four+ years later it’s dropped to 40th and 177th.

A suggestion: At the top of the right-hand margin of the main page here at WUWT (and all subsequent pages), add a link to your new book Climate at a Glance for Teachers and Students: Facts on 30 Prominent Climate Topics.

Bob

Actions speak louder than words Brent.

Kenney is a polished politician who speaks well, but his actions are fundamentally the same as Justin Trudeau’s.

Kenney completely botched both the Climate and the Covid files – almost identical to Trudeau, who probably knew what he was doing more than Kenney did.

Ed Stelmach previously held the record for “most harmful Alberta Premier” with his utterly botched Petroleum Royalty changes – unbelievably wrong!

Kenney’s acquiescence to every woke idiocy both Climate and Covid has eclipsed Stelmach’s incompetence and caused thousands of times more harm.

I agree Allan…I didn’t even like Kenney when is was in Harper’s federal cabinet. Now he done gone and screwed up Alberta Conservatives again, sort of like Alison Redford did in the dying days of the old Conservative Party. Now Alberta conservatives may split again, allowing the insidious socialist NDP to come up the middle. That would be a disaster, again.

Hi again Anthony,

I also sent your book information to my large mailing list, and got some great replies.
Several people bought copies of your book for their school libraries – I can see some conflict there, as woke librarians organize a book-burning, and torch you in effigy, complete with “monotonic chanting, tearing of hair and gnashing of teeth”.

You’ll probably also receive demonic curses lodged upon your immortal soul – as an antidote, try extra doses of Ivermectin, Quercetin, Vitamins D & C, and Melatonin at bedtime. Can’t hurt, also it cures Covid-19 and seems to help with moderate vaccine injuries – stopped chronic bleeding and fatigue in two friends, a retired physician and a registered nurse. 🙂

Book ordered from Amazon UK.

And congratulations – you have your first one star review 🙂 It’s not clear if the author actually purchased the book.

“This book is a compendium of discredited myths put out by the fossil fuel industry to stop anything being done about the very real threat posed by global warming. It is pseudoscience masquerading as science, and it doesn’t even have the virtue of being written by some misguided amateur like Velikovsky or Von Daniken. It is put out by people who know very well they are lying, but are doing so for political purposes. Please keep this trash out of our schools.”

Yes, I noticed the negative comment too. It didn’t take long for Big Brother’s thought police to find it and go on the attack against it. Control of thought is absolutely vital if one’s agenda for climate and the planet is to go forward without any problems. The “evil” fossil fuel companies and their products must be defeated so that Big Brother and his faithful minions can “save the planet”.

It should not take long for the thought police to demand that Anthony’s new book be removed from Amazon’s website (along with other like books). Shame on Anthony for this latest threat to undermine the virtuous and righteous holiness of our beloved Big Brother! /sarc

If the review was really written by Mr. Levenson, it does fit into his Wikileaks profile of a liberal democrat. Liberal democrats are filled with hate.
