Histoire
Michael Shellenberger has been fighting for a greener planet for decades. He helped save the world’s last unprotected redwoods. He co-created the predecessor to today’s Green New Deal. And he led a successful effort by climate scientists and activists to keep nuclear plants operating, preventing a spike of emissions. But in 2019, as some claimed "billions of people are going to die", contributing to rising anxiety, including among adolescents, Shellenberger decided that he needed to speak out to separate science from fiction.

It dawned on me one day that most of the scare stories in the media today are based on things that are either invisible, like CO2 and radiation, or very remote, like polar bears and coral reefs. Thus, the average person cannot observe and verify the truth of these claims for themselves. They must rely on activists, the media, politicians, and scientists - all of whom have a huge financial and/or political interest in the subject - to tell them the truth.

For over a decade, philosopher and energy expert Alex Epstein has predicted that any negative impacts of fossil fuel use on our climate will be outweighed by the unique benefits of fossil fuels to human flourishing—including their unrivaled ability to provide low-cost, reliable energy to billions of people around the world, especially the world’s poorest people. And contrary to what we hear from media “experts” about today’s “renewable revolution” and “climate emergency”, reality has proven Epstein right.

Marc Morano’s analysis of the proposed Green New Deal is eye-opening and damning. Morano exposes the program as a far-left agenda filled with progressive policies disguised as a way to save the planet. No matter what the environmental scare-of-the-day may be, Morano says, the same solution is always proposed - and that solution should scare us. Morano clearly reveals how the Green New Deal will lay a path for “global governance”, resulting in less freedom, less sovereignty, massive government bureaucracy, and significant, crippling wealth redistribution.

For generations, everything has been getting faster, better, and cheaper. Finally, we reached the point that almost anything you could ever want could be sent to your home within days—even hours—of when you decided you wanted it. America made that happen, but now America has lost interest in keeping it going. Peter Zeihan maps out the next world: a world where countries or regions will have no choice but to make their own goods, grow their own food, secure their own energy, fight their own battles, and do it all with populations that are both shrinking and aging.

Since the lockdowns began, millions of Americans have relied on the reporting of Alex Berenson. Exposing the hysteria and manipulation behind the worst failure of public policy since World War I, this clear-eyed journalist has been a critical source of reason and truth.

Totalitarianism is not a coincidence and does not form in a vacuum. It arises from a collective psychosis that has followed a predictable script throughout history. In The Psychology of Totalitarianism, world-renowned Professor of Clinical Psychology Mattias Desmet deconstructs the societal conditions that allow this collective psychosis to take hold. By looking at our current situation and identifying the phenomenon of “mass formation”—a type of collective hypnosis—he clearly illustrates how close we are to surrendering to totalitarian regimes.

For decades environmentalists have told us that using fossil fuels is a self-destructive addiction that will destroy our planet. Yet by every measure of human well-being, from life expectancy to clean water to climate safety, life has been getting better and better. How can this be? The explanation is that we usually hear only one side of the story. We're taught to think only of the negatives of fossil fuels, their risks and side effects, but not their positives.

In January 2022, a small group of Canadian truckers fed up with nearly two years of COVID restrictions and a new vaccine mandate for cross-border essential workers decided to take their frustrations directly to the nation's capital. The Freedom Convoy quickly took on a life of its own as hundreds of trucks and thousands of protesters made the journey to Parliament Hill. In this book, Andrew Lawton combines his own on-the-ground reporting and countless hours of interviews with the Freedom Convoy's organizers and volunteers to tell, for the first time, the whole story of the convoy.

We are living through the most prosperous age in all of human history, yet we are listless, divided, and miserable. Wealth and comfort are unparalleled, but our political landscape is unmoored, and rates of suicide, loneliness, and chronic illness continue to skyrocket. How do we explain the gap between these truths? And how should we respond? For evolutionary biologists Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein, the cause of our troubles is clear: The accelerating rate of change in the modern world has outstripped the capacity of our brains and bodies to adapt.

Description
"Surging sea levels are inundating the coasts."
"Hurricanes and tornadoes are becoming fiercer and more frequent."
"Climate change will be an economic disaster."
You've heard all this presented as fact. But according to science, all of these statements are profoundly misleading.
When it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that "the science is settled." In reality, the long game of telephone from research to reports to the popular media is corrupted by misunderstanding and misinformation. Core questions - about the way the climate is responding to our influence, and what the impacts will be - remain largely unanswered. The climate is changing, but the why and how aren't as clear as you've probably been led to believe.
Now, one of America's most distinguished scientists is clearing away the fog to explain what science really says (and doesn't say) about our changing climate. In Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters, Steven Koonin draws upon his decades of experience - including as a top science advisor to the Obama administration - to provide up-to-date insights and expert perspective free from political agendas.
Fascinating, clear-headed, and full of surprises, this book gives listeners the tools to both understand the climate issue and be savvier consumers of science media in general. Koonin takes listeners behind the headlines to the more nuanced science itself, showing us where it comes from and guiding us through the implications of the evidence. He dispels popular myths and unveils little-known truths: despite a dramatic rise in greenhouse gas emissions, global temperatures actually decreased from 1940 to 1970. What's more, the models we use to predict the future aren't able to accurately describe the climate of the past, suggesting they are deeply flawed.
Koonin also tackles society's response to a changing climate, using data-driven analysis to explain why many proposed "solutions" would be ineffective, and discussing how alternatives like adaptation and, if necessary, geoengineering will ensure humanity continues to prosper. Unsettled is a reality check buoyed by hope, offering the truth about climate science that you aren't getting elsewhere - what we know, what we don't, and what it all means for our future.

Climate science unsettled? Yes and very much so.
Much of the Western World's media, activist and political life is obsessed by concern about climate change, yet there are few forums for a rational discussion of the subject. For example, Canada's government has viewed the current pandemic as an opportunity to redesign the economy, "build back better" under the assumption that even the most alarmist climate model predictions are definitive scientific climate facts. This laughable obsession over Canada's mere 1.5% contribution to world CO2 levels, has slowed and even put at risk Canada's Covid-19 pandemic response. Bill Gates' new book "How to Avoid a Climate Disaster" simply feeds the frenzy assuming an alarming level of crisis while spending no time on a review of the science, merely diving directly into "solutions." (Thanks Bill. It took you 15 years to duplicate imperfectly Apple's Macintosh user interface. Its a little rich for you to assume you can develop a "theory of everything" for our climate in a fraction of that time without spending any serious time learning the science.) Into this alarmist hysteria comes Steven Koonin not with any new science sources, but just a careful examination of what the establishment IPCC's scientists are actually saying and not saying. He shows how the media, politicians and climate activists have not only magnified but distorted, withheld, if not directly lied about the available IPCC data findings. Koonin does this by examining directly what the actual findings are on common concerns including, among others, frequency of hurricanes and tornados, new temperature records, rising ocean levels and the effects of C02's ppm rise both positive (on agriculture) and negative (temperature rise -- but much more muted than climate modeling programs predict). Hopefully this book helps replace the currently largely uninformed and heated conversations in the West with rational evidence-based conversations.

Must reading for STEM and polisci students.
While science and political science students should have this on their reading list anyone interested in the climate and the effects of politics and media on science should read this too. I can’t say enough about Steve Koonin’s methodology to lead you through the maze of information and how it has been represented as a sales pitch. Enjoy.

A balanced review of a complex subject.
I had been searching for a thoughtful book that avoided the shrill and politicized extremes so prevalent in discussions of the subject of climate change. The author, an eminently qualified scientist, eschews the rantings of politicians and ideologues and presents his understanding of this complex subject in a calm and rational manner. Highly recommended for anyone searching for facts amongst the voices of climate change deniers and climate alarmists alike.

Think Climate Change is a done deal? Think again.
Content is spot on and makes you realize we've been lied to.
When not looked at through the lense of righteousness and virtual signaling, you come to a much more reasonable conclusion; namely we don't know enough to accurately predict the futute AND we're not all going to die in the next 50 years is we don't "fix" the planet.
Sadly the agenda pushed by self appointed world 'leaders' (namely the asswipes at the WEF) is going to create serious problems for for most of poorer folks on the planet. Thankfully this won't effect the Davos crowds 3rd vacation home, private jets or collection of exotic cars. They will be just fine and can continue telling the rest of us how we have tighten out belts and accept a lower standard of living to fix a non-existant (or wildly overblown catastrophe in the making).
Thank you to the author for risking his professional reputation to review the data and give us an alternative to the BS story being circulated by the media.

A must read!
Nobody is a “climate expert”, but Koonin’s ability to dive into the science and describe with data and facts what science (not “the science”) is really telling us about climate change is a message everyone needs to hear. Developing meaningless policies at huge costs to society will be futile. Local adaptation, new science, and technology will be what strengthens humanity and allows everyone to thrive. Don’t be alarmed and do your own research. Science is far from settled!

A thoughtful counter to climate hysteria. Really like how he dissects graphs that purport to show rapid warming and larger storms using clear methodologies and data. As someone who has worked on large models I have to agree that modelers think too highly of their often speculative model results.

Remarkably a-political for such a polarizing topic. Author does a really good job of using examples to establish his reasoning for why you should look closely at the data.

Uncommon common sense
I’ve been interested in environmental and energy policy for more than 50 years and I’ve followed both sides of the climate debate for over 20 years. Steven Koonin has done a masterful job of making the arcane jargon of climate science clear and understandable for everyone. If you would like an honest fresh look at what the real data shows then read or listen to this book and then form your own opinion. Finally, the graphs in the accompanying PDF are very informative.

Awesome, educational and courageous defense of the Importance of the integrity of the scientific method
This is a n honest review of climate science and the short comings of our media , politics, and even our experts. He did not spare or favor any group. I would hope my children and grandchildren have an opportunity to read it.

A good read/listening experience
I was skeptical that someone from the Obama Energy Department would give a fair review of the issues involved, but Mr. Koonin has indeed done so in an intelligible and interesting way. I think the one shortcoming in his presentation is the concentration on the recent past as opposed to the geologic past, but I think he gets to the right conclusions in spite of that. It’s refreshing to note that he is willing to lean into the wind on “consensus “ and defend the skeptics who risk their livelihoods to defend the scientific method, and the lack of certainly that results therefrom. His summary of the issues and his resulting recommendations are worthy of our attention. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with those of us who are not scientifically trained and who rely on those who are to provide an honest description of the issues at hand and our options of addressing them.

A Must Read!
A Must read for all, alarmists, deniers, and everyone in between. Precise, non-ideological, and readable.
