I cannot recommend this book. It did not read impartially.

Insightful. Highly recommended.  I learned a lot from this book. I very much appreciate the effort the author put in to pull this together, along with the 60 pages of references. I also enjoyed the personality that came through the pages. Each chapter, to me, read like short digestible essays, with data represented in charts. This makes it easy to navigate to a topic of choice. I will be revisiting these topics, as I agree they need to be widely discussed and better understood. As humans, we often react based on emotions, and it’s all too easy to believe what’s in the media without fact checking for ourselves. We may forget that as a species, we’ve only been around for a short period of time, and there’s always a lot more to what we’ve experienced. Rather than react in fear, as a species, we have the capability to advance and finding innovative solutions to the challenges we face.   As individuals, we should contribute and endeavor to explore widely, understand the facts and arguments, to inform our moral compass and conclusions. This book is a great place to start.   This book will help us learn more and better understand the history of how we got to where we are today with climate change.   ( )

This book is right wing conspiracy theories about the falsehoods of climate change. I don't agree with what they are saying and do not believe they are impartial in their presenting of information. ( )

“Investigating fraud in sports — which is a multi-billion-dollar business today — is apparently safer than writing about the weather”
This quote is sad and should be appalling to all. But most won't bat an eye. They have been preached to about how good science is and how trustworthy it is and how unbiased it is....all of which is as honest as saying the same thing about politics.
Here is a rule of life that we all should remember, the more money (and power) that is involved the less honest, trustworthy, and good something becomes.
This is especially true with the whole climate change movement, where science and politics wallow in immense amounts of money, with the only sure prediction is the one of more money for more doom and gloom.
In the work A Guide to the Climate Apocalypse Our Journey from the Age of Prosperity to the Era of Environmental Grief by Vítězslav Kremlík you can follow the dramatic change in science and the press over the last 50ish years that has brought us to such heated and politicized attacks. While not the primary focus of the book, Kremlik shows how the climate change movement is not inline with or truly part of environmentalism and the conservation movement, in fact their agenda destroys the environment and thus will increase any impact that humans have on increased pollutions in the air and subsequent warming that may or may not trigger. Since science truly does not know what continued “greenhouse gases” in the atmosphere will create, a second Venus or the next glacial maximum all this “solving the problem” is not fixing anything.
What A Guide to the Climate Apocalypse also shows is how brutal the “Climate Gods” and their advocates are to anyone who even hesitates to fall in line with the adherents. There is a very scary undercurrent of the Climate Dogma and Policy Dictates that has truly questionable intent. Unfortunately, most people do not look into who runs some of the most popular environmental movements such as Greenpeace and WWF. Or even know the foundation missions of the largest funders of NGOs and non-profits.
This work is very fact based and not softened with nice or funny anecdotes, but it is not a long read. The book is under 300 pages of text with over 50 or references to fact check on your own if you would like. There are some quotes that read very roughly, I do not know if that is due to accuracy of quotes from speaking interactions or bad translations or bad editing, it is not prevalent throughout the book but it does happen several times. Regardless, this is a book that should be read by all.
