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.

Congrats on the books success.
Excellent that the book is in paperback form It makes it so much easier for the blinkered EcoNazis to burn in their jolly Krystalnacht parties. Looking forward to reading it and sending to my darling EcoNazi family
Mine is on the way!!!!
I just ordered two, one for me and one to give away.
Levenson is one of the fiction writing regulars at Unrealclimate that support anything that is said there.
My granddaughter is home schooled. Probably a good gift for her.
It seems that Barton Paul Levinson is a science fiction writer. Must have diverged off into climate fiction the moment he saw Al Gore weeping for the children that were never going to see snow. Odd how those children are now past middle age and are experiencing world wide record snowfalls. Who would have guessed.
Actually, ‘science fiction writer’ is a good epithet (or euphemism) for a whole bunch if people.
Hockey stick, anyone?
Please don’t lump that in with Science Fiction writers. Or even Fantasy. MAYBE fairy tale.
Yep, just ordered a copy, cheers
Just ordered.
Is there any chance of it being available from somewhere other than Amazon?
Also I read the PDF version a couple of days ago and was surprised to see that corals only live in warm waters. Here in Scottish cold sea waters we lave lots, some living deeper than 400 M.
“have lots” And L isn’t anywhere near H on this keyboard!.
Bought 2 copies. One for myself and one for my daughter.
Ordered today, thanks Anthony
Just ordered the book, look forward to reading it, and if it is as aged as I think it will be, will recommend it widely.
Amazon UK have run out already so I am waiting for my copy from Amazon in the US. Hope it arrives!
5 years ago, I was speaking to a group of 2 classes worth of 5th graders, who had been studying weather in their science class at school(as a meteorologist). When I mentioned that carbon dioxide was a beneficial gas that’s greening up the planet, their teacher, said out loud “Wow, I never thought of that!”
Multiply that ignorance by tens of thousands of classrooms around the country and we have the recipe for a generation raised to believe that CO2 is pollution destroying the planet based on junk science.
I haven’t read the book yet but feel confident, knowing Anthony’s understanding of authentic meteorology and climate that ALL science teachers and their students would expand their understanding of those subjects by reading/using it.
The review by the book hater tells us about their tunnel vision, debate is over, anti science(science is settled mentality). At the very least, they should have recognized that the book makes some good scientific points which aren’t being considered……and that’s what science is all about.
Instead, ironically, he accuses the book of trying to do exactly what he is doing.
His accusation that the authors are intentionally lying for political purposes (to sabotage his altruistic, save the planet agenda, we assume) is offensive anti science, DISinformation slander.
It’s commonly referred to as Psychological Projection
Libel, not slander.
Thanks for the correction, T.S!
It is indeed libel=written words vs spoken words=slander.
Ordered a book to read before giving a review. If it is as good as I think, I’ll order more to pass out to family and friends.
I’ll have to check if Amazon verifies purchases before allowing reviews. I doubt the sci-fi writer that wrote that negative review bought one let alone read it.
Congratualtions Anthony. You have made a huge and very practical addition to the tools that will help people see the truth and weed out the nonsense peddled by miscreants. The first step is for people to become informed about reality and you are making that happen. The next step will be for people to fire every politician and policy-maker who stands in the way of making society stronger, healthier and wealthier for everyone.
Ordered two, one for me and one for the local free library, then read that there is a free PDF version, so I will put both in the free library.
Adding the PDF to the free library will not help with sales of the book
Poor sales will lead to claims the work is irrelevant.
Could I suggest you don’t distribute the PDF?
Thank you Anthony , I’ve ordered the book on Amazon.nl , with Prime, looking forward to it ..
Greta’s review: “How dare you!”
The perfect impromptu gift for any ‘weather worrier’. Pity it is not closer to Christmas it would be the ideal stocking filler!
“Barton Paul Levinson … has posted an Amazon review that is in my opinion, libelous.”
So sue him. Pour encourager les autres.
Congratulations!
Thanks Anthony, just ordered mine.
Once I’ve read it I’ll order more copies for the politicians here in Australia.
When buying something on Amazon that would appear to be too good to be true, I often skip to the one star reviews or trying decide on two choices. .
My favorite is the review that stated that the product he received was not the color he wanted. I checked the description. He was right. It only came in one color, not the one he wanted.
I suspect this book will get many one star reviews because it will come with facts they do not want.
