The Mythology of Global Warming: Climate Change Fiction VS. Scientific Facts
£11.40
WANT ACCESS TO SOLID SCIENTIFIC FACTS REFUTING THE INCESSANT MEDIA HYPE SURROUNDING CLIMATE CHANGE? THEN THE MYTHOLOGY OF GLOBAL WARMING IS FOR YOU!
The Mythology of Global Warming is intended to provide the general public with a broad spectrum of scientific and factual information on the subject of Climate Change. This book debunks the incessant, emotional, and largely unsubstantiated claims made by the progressive media and climate scientists that industrial societies such as the United States are destroying our planet due to the use of fossil fuels. What causes global warming? What is a greenhouse gas? What impact do carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels actually have on the Earth’s climate relative to naturally occurring phenomena? Is all ice on Earth really melting, and are sea levels rising at a catastrophic rate? Are all forms of extreme weather, including hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and droughts increasing dramatically? Are polar bears and other life forms being pushed to the brink of extinction? Will all of this mayhem cease if fossil fuels are replaced by ‘green’ renewable energy sources? Answers to these questions clearly show that hard facts do not support any of the above dire predictions.
The science of global warming is indeed ‘settled’; Global Warming is a myth.
“…Global warming proponents can’t prove that man is destroying the planet due to global warming, but Dr. Bunker can prove that we are not. He packs a lot of punch in this small package. Read it, and arm yourself for the great debate.”-—Phil Valentine, nationally syndicated talk show host of the Phil Valentine Show on Westwood One
“In the past 20 years I have reviewed two dozen books dealing with Anthropomorphic Global Warming. There has not been nor ever will be a more comprehensive and understandable book on this subject which is to critical to the entire world’s population.”—Jay Lehr, Ph.D. Science Director, The Heartland Institute
“This is a scholarly work written by a true scientist, yet in a way that makes the topic still accessible to the average person interested in understanding both the science and also the politics of global warming. Highly recommended.”—Dr. Jennifer Marohasy, Senior Fellow, Australia’s Institute of Public Affairs, co-author of “Climate Change: The Facts, 2014”
“Unlike so many others, Dr. Bunker’s book is so much more than a supposition wrapped up in a pretty bow of meaningless numbers. If you’ve been waiting for a book that gives actual facts in an easily checked form, you’ve found it.”—G. Dedrick Robinson Ph.D., co-author of Global Warming: Alarmists, Skeptics & Deniers.
“A timely and well researched book not only for the thoughtful engaged reader, but also for the general public. The book is up-to-date and deals honestly with continuing controversies and uncertainties.”—Dr. Sonja A. Boehmer-Christiansen, Department of Geography, Hull University, Former Editor, Energy & Environment.

A welcome addition to the range of books that try to balance the climate change debate. The author quite rightly, and as a chemist who would understand Infra red spectroscopy, draws attention of the relative unimportance of CO2 as a greenhouse gas, atmospheric water making a contribution several hundred times greater. Simple arithmetic shows that CO2 cannot possibly drive global warming. There is much more to the book bringing scientific knowledge to bear on this contentious subject and supporting the notion of man made climate change as a myth. Elsewhere in the literature his thesis is supported by many eminent scientists who are at best ignored and often shouted down and denounced.
He regularly refers to the man made climate change activism as essentially left wing. His repetition of this in the book has been criticised in other reviews. I would say his repetition of this is often rather clumsy but problem justified. Apart from those who hav simply been gulled into accepting the ‘climate crisis’ ideology the the most vocal and strident voices of activism are rarely on the political right: most indeed are either self confessed leftists or often Marxist in leaning.
This book is an important contribution to truth and best read by those with technical backgrounds though the author makes strenuous attempts to make his findings accessible to the lay person. It deserves 5 stars for content but I docked one for some rather clumsy writing in places.

Great book to full of science and facts (mostly), to help you stop worrying about the ‘climate crisis’.

In my previous reviews on this subject I have enthused about the seminal books by Robert Carter, Ian Plimer and Gregory Wrightstone, but with the appearance of “The Mythology of Global Warming: Climate Change Fiction vs. Scientific Facts” by Bruce Bunker, my appreciation has reached new heights. I think it is now the best written, most convincing scientific account of why the arguments of the “Warmists” hold no water.
The book starts with an appropriate quotation from Vladimir Lenin: “A lie told often enough becomes truth”.
In his first chapter, of just 16 pages, Bunker summarises some of his main points which undermine the global warming narrative. Perhaps the most important of these are:
– CO2 and methane are not the main greenhouse gases on Earth. That position is held by Water Vapour which absorbs 135 times more of the Earth’s outgoing heat than CO2, and 28000 times more heat than methane.
– Both CO2 and methane are anyway present in such low concentrations that they have a negligible impact on our climate.
– The earth’s temperature has never been constant, but is controlled by the amount of heat reaching us from the sun and how that heat is distributed. These variations are predictable and are based on variations in solar and orbital cycles, and they dwarf any effect that humanity has on climate.
– The geological record clearly shows that there is absolutely no correlation between Earth’s temperature and atmospheric CO2 levels. Current CO2 levels are almost as low as they have been throughout Earth’s history. The worst Ice Age in Earth’s history occurred when CO2 levels were 20 times higher than they are today.
– The advance and retreat of glaciers is a natural recurring phenomenon. We are currently experiencing the high temperature end of the latest of the 24 modern Ice Age cycles. The modest retreat of glaciers since the end of the Little Ice Age in 1880 is normal, natural behaviour.The massive reserves of ice on Earth, together with sea level have been remarkably stable over the past 125 years. Humanity has not been threatened by the slow variations`in sea level which have occurred throughout their history.
– Weather patterns have not varied much, and have been remarkably similar since the beginning of the Industrial Age. Satellite measurements reveal that global temperatures have been constant since 1998.
– The Earth’s major food chains all depend upon plant life, which is based upon a photosynthetic process involving CO2. The geological record shows that the abundance and diversity of life have always been greater when CO2 levels and temperature were substantially higher than they are today.
– Renewable energy sources, including solar and wind, are incapable of meeting the world’s energy needs, because neither technology is cost competitive or can physically provide that energy. Nuclear is the one renewable energy source which could be exceptional in this respect.
Bunker then goes on to expand eloquently and in detail on these themes during seven subsequent chapters of the book. In particular, he draws our attention to Henry’s Law (as did Robert Carter in his book “Climate:the Counter- Consensus”) according to which, the burning of the Earth’s entire fossil fuel reserves would result in a maximum permanent increase of just 100ppm in atmospheric CO2 concentrations.
In the final two chapters he states that “In reality, the global warming movement has nothing to do with “saving the planet” but has everything to do with the redistribution of wealth and political agendas aimed at the destroying of western democracies and free market economies”. He points out that a group of scientists, government agencies and media outlets has been doing everything in their power to distort, misrepresent, and falsify climate records in order to promote an agenda that is purely political rather than remotely scientific. He says that Global Warming represents the most pervasive and damaging example of scientific fraud in world history.
Conspiracy theory? I don’t think so – and he provides overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
The book concludes with a list of 299 references and six useful and informative scientific appendices to support his incontrovertible scientific facts and his arguments.
by John Hardy
An interesting book, but with some flaws. The best bit is chapter 9 covering the gaming of the data to support the theory. The author does not however discuss the alterations to HADCRUT between version 3 and version 4, or the 2016 changes to RSS data. It would perhaps have been charitable to assume that some of this gaming of data (itself disastrous) is down to confirmation bias rather than conscious dishonesty.
One area that the author gets wrong is the discussion of the extra charging and generation capacity required by electric vehicles. Electricity must be generated as it is consumed so the grid is sized to handle peak loads: a large number of electric vehicle miles could be supported with zero additional grid capacity simply by incentivising charging to happen off peak. There is more though: an electric vehicle can be a source of power as well. Vehicle-to-grid capability allows an electric vehicle to power a house, or even (potentially) to act as a buffer for the grid.
This area is, incidentally, a weakness of wind and solar: in the absence of substantial grid storage (in the Tw-hour class), conventional generating capacity cannot be reduced because it is needed to support peak demands when wind and solar output is nil.
The other criticism I would have of the book is that it is unnecessarily political. The author repeatedly characterises the people pushing the global warming myth as “socialist progressives”. Whilst there are certainly political dimensions to this area, I don’t think it helps to assume (or give the impression that you assume) that all socialist are using this theory dishonestly to spread their power. There are undoubtedly some who would describe themselves as socialist who think that catastrophic man made climate is nonsense, and some right-wingers who buy into it.
