Publisher's Summary

Here is Dr. Patrick Moore's description of his unique thesis as presented in Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom.

"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."

A key target audience is parents who do not approve of the "progressive" school curriculum and its alarmism about the future of civilization and the natural world. Dr. Moore hopes these parents will listen to his book and pass it on to their high-school and older children to give them an alternative to the bleak future predicted by the prophets of doom. Many other audiences will also find the book informative and convincing.

In 11 chapters, the listener is clearly shown that citizens are being misinformed by many environmental doomsday prophesies, ones they cannot verify for themselves. We are told that nuclear energy is very dangerous when the numbers prove it is one of the safest technologies. We are told polar bears will go extinct soon when their population has been growing steadily for nearly 50 years. We are told that there is something harmful in genetically modified food crops when it is invisible, has no name and no chemical formula. We are told severe forest fires are caused by climate change when they are actually caused by poor management of fuel load (dead wood) in the forest. We are told that all the coral reefs will die by 2100 when in fact the most diverse coral reefs are found in the warmest oceans in the world. And of course, we are told that invisible CO2 from using fossil fuels, accounting for more than 80 percent of our energy supply, will make the Earth too hot for life. All of these scare stories, and many more, are simply not true. And this book will convince you, your family, and your colleagues of that. There is no substitute for the truth.

Dr. Patrick Moore was one of the co-founders of Greenpeace and sailed on the first Greenpeace campaign against US H-bomb tests in Alaska. Upon receiving his PhD in ecology, he spent 15 years in the top committee of Greenpeace and led many of its environmental campaigns. Greenpeace began as a group of volunteers with noble intentions. Over the years, it became very successful with campaigns to save the whales, stop the mass slaughter of baby seals, prevent toxic dumping into the air, water, and earth, and many more. Greenpeace found itself in the early 1980s with more than $100 million coming in annually and close to 1,000 people on the payroll. It had become a business and fundraising moved to the top of the priority list. New campaigns were more about using sensationalism, misinformation and fear to attract donations. Dr. Moore said good-bye in 1986 as Greenpeace was turning into a racket peddling junk science. Since then he has strived to be a sensible environmentalist, basing his beliefs on sound science and logical thinking. This book is the culmination of 50 years of learning during Dr. Moore's multi-faceted quest for the truth about environmental issues.

Needs a pdf for graphs

A clear and rational counter to climate catastrophe hysteria. Moore is the real deal; a conservationist, scientist and humanist. He exposes the rent seeker industry that has evolved from what was once legitimate environmentalism. How can CO2 be the problem when it is necessary to support plant life? Without CO2, and plenty of it, animals and humans can't exist. How can CO2 cause warming when Antarctic ice core samples prove that the warming precedes CO2 by ~800 years? The book elaborates on these and many other flaws in the Climate narrative so inculcated in populations by Governments, NGOs and those who claim to educate us.
A Crticism: Moore often refers to graphs to support and illustrate the text but unfortunately there is no associated .pdf or web link to view these. Perhaps this is deliberate encourage purchase of hard copies.

Before COP27, read this

Before COP27 warns us (yet again) of impending doom and "tipping points", listen to this explanation of how fake claims and "modelling" have been used to scare us witless about the future of our earth. And that is the point: use YOUR wits to consider how many of the past warnings and "tipping points" have NOT come to pass! This book covers and debunks many of the headline scares we have heard over the years.

should teach this in school

I found the narrator hard to listen to but the information is great. sad it is such an uphill battle to get this out to the mainstream. the world seems to prefer the climate fear porn narratives and will choose and promote that story over the truth for some cancerous reason. thanks for your work patrick

Hard to swallow.


Started well with rejection of non scientific statements based upon unobservable assumptions then talks about evolution and millions of years as if they are not completely reliant on unobservable assumptions in the thousands. Especially hard to swallow as he makes statements about the past conditions that throw aging techniques into serious question.
