    About this ebook

    #1 Weather Bestseller: 14 weeks!

    Afraid of the future? Don’t be. When we’re armed with the basic facts of climate, we can more easily spot the lies that the corrupt, corporate news media is trying to feed us. Some of those lies are huge.

    This small book gives us everything the layman needs to know about climate science.

    The warming alarmists attempt to frighten us with things like,
    - Global warming will result in more violent storms.
    - Global warming will give us more deserts and droughts.
    - Global warming is dangerous.
    - Carbon dioxide is driving our dangerous global warming.
    - We urgently need to cool down the planet.
    - Carbon dioxide is a dangerous pollutant.
    - The future looks bleak unless we drastically reduce our “carbon footprint.”

    This slender volume sets the record straight on all of the above issues.

    There are concerns for the future, but none of these are it. And when we have real problems to face, it does no good to be fixing things that don’t need it.

      Climate Basics

      Nothing to Fear

      Rod Martin, Jr.

      "Climate is what on an average we may expect, weather is what we actually get"—Andrew John Herbertson, Outlines of Physiography, circa 1901.

      What People Are Saying About Climate Basics

      Must read. Important concepts to understand.—Richard J.

      Smart but easy read. Good content and understanding that explains stuff through real data. Fun, fast read.—Han D.

      Provides insightful overview allowing reader to understand the issue quickly. Each element of climatology is covered in just enough detail so that the reader can quickly grasp the true issues.—Bob T.

      The lies about so-called global warming debunked! Common sense.—Dirk B.

      Facts About Climate Change — A Great Read! This book is Succinct, Truthful and To-The-Point!—Byron C.

      What It’s All About

      #1 Bestseller in Amazon’s categories: Science & Math Short Reads and Weather.

      Climate Basics is all about the climate change hysteria and how it’s wrong on the big issues.

      Warming alarmists are fond of telling us that global warming will result in more droughts and deserts. This makes sense until you dig deeper and ask: How does land ever get water in the first place? Climate Basics tells us exactly how rain happens and how this is the opposite of the alarmist position.

      Warming alarmists are fond of telling us that global warming will result in more violent storms—not only a far greater number of storms, but far stronger ones, too. Well, this is only partly true. We have to ask ourselves: What causes wind to blow?

      Warming alarmists are fond of telling us that the world is going to burn up. NASA, which used to deal with science, has now started to appeal to emotion (a common logical fallacy) with such statements as, ‘Earth has a fever.’

      Warming alarmists are fond of ignoring the dangers of global cooling. We live in an Ice Age. Those two ‘little’ white things at the poles remind us of that fact. After all, they are made of ice. And our Holocene interglacial is cooler than many of the interglacials of the current Ice Age.
