The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming: (and Environmentalism)

The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming: (and Environmentalism) is a book by Christopher C. Horner, who has appeared on The Daily Show, Fox News, Point of View, and The Jim Bohannon Show to promote the work.

Horner is an attorney and does not claim any scientific qualifications. He received his Juris Doctorate from Washington University in St. Louis where he received the Judge Samuel Breckenridge Award for Advocacy.^[1] He is a fellow of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, and is not to be confused with the environmentalist and filmmaker, Chris Horner (who, contrarily, has produced films warning of the effects of global warming.

In the book, Horner states the following:

• Global temperature fluctuation has always occurred in the Earth's past and is nothing new.
• CO₂ levels increase after temperature rise.
• Temperature changes align more closely to solar activity.
• Contrary to global warming claims, heat has always benefited life when the Earth has been warmer in the past.
• The sea level rose approximately one foot in the last century, and, contrary to Al Gore's claims, the sea level is not predicted to rise more than a foot or two in the next century.
• The Hockey Stick graph has been discredited.
• Temperature readings from land-based weather stations are inaccurate, and satellite data should be used instead because it is more uniform.
• During the past decade, temperature rise has leveled off, contrary to predictions by global warming models.
