I totally agree with Professor Michael's review above of Red Hot Lies. Chris Horner has done a great job of bringing the whole package of the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) mendacity together in one place.
Teachers who have helped indoctrinate our children with Gore's film, should read this book and then do a mea culpa to their charges and their parents and set the record straight.
Politicians who are now voting on climate bills or assenting to the EPA's plan to regulate CO2 should read Horner's book to understand the broad assault on truth that is being deployed by shysters of all stripes and climate laboratories looking for grants; if they still support the man-made global warming lie, one has to assume they are themselves feeding at the taxpayer-financed AGW trough and are personally in on this giant fleecing of America. No honest politician who has read this book could possibly vote for the AGW lie.
Horner has done a great job showing the inter-relationships between all the fleecers. An interesting follow on would be development of an in-depth multi-layered database showing the monetary flows between the taxpayers, the big institutions, the many government agencies, the UN, the climate laboratories (US and foreign) and corporations such as Walmart, British Petroleum, Duke Power, General Electric, and a host of "green" (green as in your money) power companies that are out for the buck.
The American economy and culture will be set back to the days of the cotton gin, according to Steven Hayward if the 80 by 50 plan for CO2 reduction becomes law - see "The Real Cost of Tackling Climate Change" - Wall Street Journal, 4.28.08:
[...]
Many politicians, and in my judgment including this president and his staff and cabinet, care nothing about the truth of AGW but rather the avenue it provides to force state socialism on the American people, tear down the basis of the American economy, and help solidify a program of class warfare, silencing or liquidating the opposition and ending eventually in a socialist utopia. It has already been used as an excuse to nearly demolish the American auto industry, and the president has promised in his campaign that it will be used to wipe out the electric power industry's 100-year tradition of inexpensive reliable electric power, which has been the nation's economic engine since the day of Thomas Edison. If you have ever spent time in third world countries with limited electric power you might understand why their main product is poverty for their people, and that is the result that the socialist politicians seek for America - break a few eggs as they put it, to reach the socialist nirvana.
What is at stake here is the future of America. Every American needs to read and understand Red Hot Lies and act on it by flooding the politicians with letters and phone calls to stop supporting the AGW mendacity.
Who should read this book, cover to cover:
1. The President of Walmart, who distributed thousands of free copies of the Gore propaganda video to the nation's K12 schools. He should counter this propaganda with distributing this book to all schools that got the free Gore mendacity.
2. Every K12 teacher that spread the Gore propaganda to her/his students.
3. Every U.S Senator, especially those who have bought the Gore lie.
4. Every U.S. Congressional Representative.
5. Every new candidate for election in 2010, especially if the incumbent is wed to the man-made CO2 hoax.
6. Every State Governor
7. Every Member of a State Legislature
8. Every Federal and State Agency director that has scarce bucks budgeted for greenhouse gas emission control.
9. Every county tax collector who cannot conceive of the taxpayer goose having no more golden eggs to lay after their jobs have been sacrificed to the carbon gods.
10. Every student bent on a science career, be aware that a career in climate this or that may look monetarily attractive today, but it is doomed to go the way of the gas lamp when the thin-air foundation of the AGW lies becomes common knowledge.
