FOREWORD

If you listen to the news carefully you find that the greatest threat facing our nation is climate change. It is greater than war or the work by terrorists who have vowed to destroy us.

But is it true? Is our climate changing so rapidly that the world we know and love so well will be destroyed in our lifetime?

They have been making this prediction for over thirty years, yet our world is about the same; seasons come and go but the climate really has not changed much.

When you actually believe that the world is about to end because of climate change and that man is the chief cause because of burning of fossil fuels, then you just know you have to do something, no matter what it costs.

Just a little logic indicates that we have been misled and that all that we are spending to fight climate change is really just a huge waste.

The President is determined to eliminate the use of fossil fuels and is taking measures to do so.

First to go was the Keystone XL oil pipeline, which would carry oil from Canada to the United States. The President honored a commitment he had made to some of the environmentalists who helped him get elected. That project had been approved by the Trump Administration and was a work in progress. Now some environmental groups want to ensure it never gets built and that the pipeline already installed is removed and the ground cleaned up. It evidently does not occur to anyone that this is a legislative function, and not an executive. Over 11,000 were put out of work along with the affect on communities along the line. Many states have sued, but so far no success. It also does not occur to them that if the oil is not transported by oil line it will be carried by train or truck, producing a lot more carbon dioxide, about which they are so concerned. Not to mention that pipelines are much safer than train or truck which have caused numerous fires.

Then the President ordered that all oil drilling should stop on federal lands, putting additional thousands out of work.

Then drilling was stopped on the Artic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). This area is projected to produce a huge amount of oil. Whenever you see pictures of ANWR it is always of mountains and pristine country, not the flat plains where drilling would take place.

No matter how you figure it wind and solar will never take the place of fossil fuels; they are just too erratic. The sun does not shine at night or when it is cloudy, and the wind only blows when it feels like it.

Elimination of oil and gas will not just eliminate gasoline and diesel, but about 6,000 other things that are important to us. Here are a few of the things that are made from fossil fuels:

•Carpeting

•Vinyl Siding

•Tar highways

•PVC and other plumbing pipes

•Paint

•Paint Thinner

•Plastic bottles, like water bottles

•Asphalt Shingles for Roofing

•Plastic parts of automobiles

•Vinyl Windows

•And a multitude of other things.

One would think that somewhere on the President’s team would be at least one scientist who knew the truth of these matters.

This has become a serious matter where the President by decree can control the prosperity of the nation. There is no place in the Constitution for this kind of action.

All this foolishness has even extended to our public schools. Here is what is happening in New York City:

More than half of New York City school children can’t tackle basic English or math, but a congressman representing part of the city has a solution: a Green New Deal for Public Schools.

(The New American August 9, 2021)

It is not enough to waste trillions on so-called climate change, but now our children have to be convinced that the sky is falling.

ENDORSEMENTS

Jim Hollingworth’s book, Climate Change: A Convenient Truth, is a breezily-written short book that is worthwhile to anyone who is curious about this global warming/climate change phenomenon that has been sweeping Western Civilization since the 1980s and has now become a multi-trillion-dollar industry. The book comprises forty-eight (very short) chapters, plus seven Appendices (for anyone who cares to read more in-depth on the topic). Its nonintimidating, simplistic style should not offend anyone—whether you’re in middle school or college or have been away from school for fifty years.

As a litigation attorney for nearly thirty years, I know a lot about evidence. The evidence presented for climate change simply does not add up. There is no basis for saying the science is settled or 97 percent of scientists support global warming theories. Many highly qualified scientists have shown that there is no threat from carbon dioxide. Jim Hollingsworth shows the valid evidence. His book is an important resource for those who want to know what the science really shows.

—Richard Botteri, Attorney at Law

"Hidden in this small book is all the information one needs to fully understand the frauds, which are being perpetuated on society by environmental extremists desiring to foist their miserable personalities upon an unsuspecting public. Hollingsworth moves from the now exposed acid rain fraud of yesteryear to the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on society; man caused Climate Change. This deception has now cost the nations of our planet, well over a trillion dollars, in the belief that man is more powerful than Nature, and thus can set the Earth’s thermostat.

Without ever getting into the weeds of math and science, anyone with a tenth-grade education will be able to understand precisely how they have been hoodwinked these many years. A four-hour investment in reading time will yield multiple eureka moments.

Senior Policy Analyst for the International Climate Science Coalition and Former Science Director of The Heartland Institute

Climate Change: A Convenient Truth is a vital, complete, and above all, truthful presentation on climate science. Science must pursue the untainted truth. This book dispels the confusion that exists about climate change because politics and money, rather than science, are involved in promoting anthropogenic global warming. Regardless of your background, you will benefit from learning the truth about climate science.

—Bernard Bernie Kepshire, PhD, MS, BA Fisheries biologist; background includes Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Oregon State University

This book is much needed to give people an impartial view of what is really happening to our climate and what is not happening. All of us taxpayers are, in fact, funding billions and soon trillions of dollars to be spent on decarbonizing our atmosphere, even though CO2 is food for all plants. I hope that many people start asking more questions about the logic of today’s energy policies after having read Jim’s well-written book.

—Lars Schernikau, PhD, Energy Economics

My good friend, Jim Hollingsworth, has written a very accessible book on the sham, scam, and hoax of global warming hysteria. Folks, there is nothing to be afraid of, and Jim’s informative book will settle whatever fears you may have. Give it a read—you won’t be disappointed!

—Bryan Fischer, Host of Focal Point on the American Family Radio Network

Jim Hollingsworth’s new book, Climate Change: A Convenient Truth, lays it all out—in short, readable chapters that address virtually every fear-inducing claim concerning climate change—and finds them wanting. If you’re worried about dangerous man-made climate change, but still have an open mind, this is a must read. If you’re already skeptical, but want an easy-to-use reference guide, this is what you’ve been looking for.

—Paul Driessen, Author of Eco-Imperialism: Green Power-Black Death and many articles and books on energy, climate change, human rights and the dark side of renewable energy

Finally, a book on climate that anyone can understand. If you master the forty-eight short chapters in this little book you will be well on your way to understanding the basics of climate change: Man’s part and Nature’s. This is a book that needs to be read more than once and then shared with your friends. Careful reading should convince you that even a majority can be wrong.

INTRODUCTION

A lot has been written about global warming/climate change, especially in the last few years. We have been led to believe that if we do not take immediate, expensive and decisive action the world as we know it will come to a dramatic end.

But, is it true? Where is the evidence that man is the cause of this warming? Can we do anything about it, or do we just let nature have its way?

No-one can dispute the fact that the Earth is warming. It has continued to warm since the end of the last ice age, about 10,000 years ago. At one time North Idaho was buried under a mile of ice. But what is the evidence that man is the chief cause of this warming, or that we can stop a further increase in temperature simply by ending our use of all fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas, etc.)? This book was written for you. It is time that you had a chance to know the truth. The mainstream media wants to convince you that we are headed for a catastrophe if we simply do nothing. Twelve years ago we were told we only had ten years left, yet those ten years have come and gone without any change in our climate.

There are three types of people who consider climate change. The first is the government paid scientists and those associated with them who will not be convinced no matter what is said, because if they had to admit they were wrong it would end their employment. The second are those who only watch television, never pick up a book and really do not want to know the truth until their house goes dark and it is too late to do anything about it.

The third group includes a large number of people who have received much conflicting information and still do not know the truth, yet they seek to understand it.

So, in which group are you? This book was written for the third group. It is written so you can understand climate change and how it affects you. You have to understand that the program of the first group has to do with a lot more than just climate. You can have no effect on them unless you know the truth.

You can seek to know the truth, or you can continue to ignore it. It is important, however, that each one of us not only knows the truth, but does something about it to get our government to take a stand on doing what is right. This book details most of the important issues of climate change.

Finally, are you going to
