Full Description
In recent years, growing national and international networks are challenging the two dominant 'emergency' narratives that relate to the Covid pandemic and Climate Change.
It was the experience of Covid, and the co-ordinated global response that involved suppression of the virus's laboratory origins, fast-tracking of mRNA vaccines, lockdowns, and neglect of the most vulnerable - all of which contradicted scientific evidence and proven effective responses - that led to alarm over the consolidation of emergency powers within groups of unelected bureaucrats. Whilst this kind of subterfuge has characterized the climate issue for decades, the Covid-led awakening brought many to question the origins and reality of the 'climate emergency'.
Peter Taylor - an independent advisor, consultant and scientific expert on environmental issues - has long been asked for updates on his ground-breaking book, Chill: A Reassessment of Global Warming Theory (2009). Here he responds with a series of challenging and revealing essays. His treatment is based on published and peer-reviewed science as well as first-hand research in the field - visiting research labs and asking direct questions. His startling conclusions reveal that the science is far from 'settled'. Perhaps worse, discussion is no longer possible - the branding of critics as 'deniers' has become commonplace. But now the fight-back has begun, and this book provides scientific ammunition for anyone who cares about societal freedoms.
