Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom by [Dr. Patrick Moore]

THE AUTHOR DESCRIBES HIS BOOK IN THIS WAY

It dawned on me one day that most of the scare stories in the media today are based on things that are either invisible, like CO2 and radiation, or very remote, like polar bears and coral reefs. Thus, the average person cannot observe and verify the truth of these claims for themselves. They must rely on activists, the media, politicians, and scientists – all of whom have a huge financial and/or political interest in the subject – to tell them the truth. This is my effort, after 50 years as a scientist and environmental activist, to expose the misinformation and outright lies used to scare us and our children about the future of the Earth. Direct observation is the very basis of science. Without verified observation it is not possible to know the truth. That is the sharp focus of this book.

An important target audience is parents who do not approve of the “progressive” school curriculum and its alarmism about the future of civilization and the threat of human civilization to the natural world and it is hoped that these parents will read his book and pass it on to their high-school and older children to give them an alternative view. We are being misinformed by environmental doomsday prophesies that the average citizen is unable to verify. We are told polar bears will go extinct soon though the data are inconsistent with that claim. We are told that there is something harmful in genetically modified food crops proposed as a religious idea without data or empirical evidence. We are told that all forest fires are caused by climate change if differences in forest management practices are overlooked. We are told that all the coral reefs will die although their repeated claims of the imminent demise of coral reefs remain unveried by the data. And we are told that CO2 from using fossil fuels, accounting for more than 80 percent of our energy supply, will make the Earth too hot for life.

He says that the book reveals all of these scare stories, to be falsehoods. The author was a founder and active member of Greenpeace for many decades. He left Greenpeace when in his assessment it had turned into an eco wacko fearmongering racket like the rest of the environmental movement.

This book is presented as the case against the demise of environmentalism into a fearmongering movement which ultimately led to the fearmongereing climate movement.
