The Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change, by Marc Morano, Washington, D.C.: Regnery Publishing, 2018, 200 pages, paperback.

He has been called “evil personified” by the left-wing blog Daily Kos. The New York Times called his website, ClimateDepot.com, “divisive and toxic.” A “wanted” poster of him, claiming he was a “climate criminal,” was displayed at the site of the 2015 UN Climate Summit in Paris. In 2009, Rolling Stone magazine listed him as one of the planet’s 17 “climate killers.” In 2012, Media Matters named him the “Climate Mis-informer of the Year.” With bona fides like that, you just know that Marc Morano is on to something. In fact, he has just written a new book, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change, and it should ruffle a few more feathers in the climate-alarmist community.

Remember the whole “the Amazon rainforest is disappearing” trope that environmentalists used to peddle? Morano is one of the main reasons we stopped hearing about that. His 2000 documentary, Amazon Rainforest: Clear Cutting the Myths, was a main reason that false narrative died. The film showed that, far from disappearing, the Amazon was one of the most intact and thriving forests in the world. It also showed that celebrities and environmental activists were not trying to assist the native population of the forest, but exploit them. So Marc Morano has some experience in exposing junk science and the political movements behind it.
