Product Description
Product Description
This book is about war, as waged by the ultra Liberals and the far Left and about the insidious propaganda tidal wave they have launched. This book is about the hype and scare stories on the environment and climate change, issues that are extremely difficult for the average citizen to assess.
Everyday we are besieged with thousands of messages. TV is terrible. Magazines are particularly egregious, stuck in the face of every housewife and teenager at every check out station in the country. These offer secrets on everything: looks, stress, sex, health, environment, etc.
In addition you are given a one-sided message about each new issue, namely that big government is the answer. And the press usually provides unlimited, un-researched and un-skeptical support. Serving as a shill for such issues is not journalism. It is a corruption of the profession. It is prostitution, a selling out of the values of honest journalism for the adoration of the so-called elite, and the hope of ultimately becoming one of these so-called elite.

Clear Skies, Jan 1 2012
By Eileen Hanks - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Acid Rains on Liberal Propaganda: Ultra Liberals, Far Lefters and Global Warmers Beware (Paperback)
For all of those who feast on the New York Times and Sunday morning talk shows, this book is a must read. Acid Rains offers a completely different view of recent political events and the controversy about global warming. Although I am inclined to believe in climate change, particularly after the last summer in Houston, Acid Rains made me stop and think about how I formed my views on current events.

Acid Rains on Liberal Propaganda, Mar 21 2005
By Laura Griesinger - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Acid Rains on Liberal Propaganda: Ultra Liberals, Far Lefters and Global Warmers Beware (Paperback)
Before I read the book, I assumed it would be filled with technical jargon that I would not understand. It turned out to be just the opposite. I was intrigued to learn so much about global warming, and what a political football it has become. I was also delighted to learn so much about the history of our planet. In particular, about the Medieval Warming Period and the Little Ice Age, and the effect that it had on the people that lived during that time, and to the earth itself. I also increased my knowledge about California and its struggle with power (nuclear, electrical, etc.) and the politics involved with it. The author took me through a unique journey including having a better understanding about global warming. He has convinced me that more scientific knowledge has to be sought out before we can jump to any conclusions about it. He made me understand that there are weaknesses in it and in the Kyoto Protocol, and that more research must be done before we sign on to this plan. Overall, I found the book to be enlightening, and I enjoyed the author's sense of humor and satirical writing. It was a quick read, entertaining and educational. There is no question that it was delightful, I had fun reading it!Laura Griesinger

Acid Satire, April 7 2005
By Gerald T. Westbrook "GTW" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Acid Rains on Liberal Propaganda: Ultra Liberals, Far Lefters and Global Warmers Beware (Paperback)
This book offers a fresh approach to the global warming issue. Satire is used throughout this book, some of which is rather acidic. Hence the title of this book, which is not about the acid rain issue. Satiric wit is used to attack and deflate the tidal wave of gloom and doom predictions from the warmers.Half of the essays are fairly technical in nature, but are written as a science reporter would write for his educated, but not necessarily technical audience. Half of the essays are more on personalities and events.
This book is about the hype and scare stories on the environmental and climate change issues. It is about the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections. This book, in part, is a modest political history covering the past two presidential elections and some of the events in between. Politicians covered include Albert Gore Jr, Tom Daschle and John Forbes Kerry in the USA, and Jean Chrétien in Canada.
Seven of the essays are on the Invasion of the Gorons. "These are the aliens from planet Gore. One of the first Earthlings they captured was Albert Gore Jr, who has risen to become the Head Goron." While the HG's political future looks pretty bleak today, the Goron name lives on.
There are several key chapters in this book.
Chapter 1 "Introduction", lays out the genesis of the Gorons, their infiltration of the far Left and their obsession with power and regulation.
Chapter 2 "The Invasion of the Gorons: The Global Warming issue", takes on the temperature analysis by the HG.
Chapter 10 "The Hockey Stick, the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warming Period", addresses the effort underway to replace the conventional assessment of the temperature profile over the past 1300 years-warm period, followed by a cold period, then another warm period-with the Hockey Stick profile.
Chapter 12 "The Invasion of the Gorons: The Kerry Enigma", gives eight options on the true identity of John F. Kerry.
Chapter 14 "Conclusions: Why I am a Skeptic on the Global Warming Issue", cites four critical assumptions the warmers make, with none of them being confirmed.
