Book Review – Politics & Climate Change: A History
Andy May’s 2020 book, Politics & Climate Change: A History, is picking up renewed attention — and for good reason. Dr. Patrice Poyet has released a freshly updated, in-depth review that’s now available on ResearchGate.
The reason for the uptick in interest? The wheels have finally come off the “dangerous climate change” myth. As that narrative collapses, people are hungry to understand the decades of corruption that fueled it — and to hear the stories of the men and women who stood their ground. The usual suspects? Greenpeace, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, Al Gore, Raúl Grijalva, Tom Steyer, Naomi Oreskes, Peter Frumhoff — all deeply entangled in this multi-billion dollar machine. But now that the playing field is leveling, their tactics and motives are under a brighter light.
Poyet’s review pays particular attention to the business of climate alarmism — and yes, it is a business. Billions have been shoveled into the myth by Steyer, Bloomberg, and the rest of the so-called “Billionaires Club,” backed by organizations like the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Hewlett Foundation, the Packard Foundation, the Schmidt Family Foundation, Sea Change, Park Foundation, and the Marisla Foundation. The House Science Committee has even linked Sea Change to Russian funding, aimed at stopping fracking in America by laundering influence through environmental groups.
Greenpeace, meanwhile, didn’t miss a beat. They adapted to the new funding ecosystem, crafting “activism” campaigns that smeared reputable scientists like Will Happer and Willie Soon, spinning up outright fabrications and handing them off to sympathetic media allies.
The review also reminds us of the price paid by those who stood for scientific integrity: Willie Soon, Scott Pruitt, Judith Curry, David Legates, John Christy, Roy Spencer, Robert Balling, Roger Pielke Jr., Roger Pielke Sr., Steven Hayward, Will Happer, Richard Lindzen, Anthony Watts, Steve McIntyre, Ross McKitrick, Greg Wrightstone, Marcel Crok, the late, great Tim Ball — and many others who’ve taken more than their fair share of slings and arrows for daring to speak the truth.
Take a look at Poyet’s review. If it resonates, grab the book — it’s available on Amazon, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble. It’s well worth your time.

The US State Department issued a joint statement denouncing Net Zero policies for global marine shipping as a 'global carbon tax,' says Friends of Science Society.

The DOE climate report: a scientific milestone that Europe does not want to see
While alarmist studies are spreading like wildfire in Europe, the groundbreaking report A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate is being completely ignored. This report finally pays explicit attention to uncertainties, alternative insights, and factual observations in climate science. The European silence is not only remarkable, it is downright shocking. It casts a shadow over the intellectual honesty of the European climate debate.
