In his 2007 book, “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism,” Competitive Enterprise Institute’s (CEI’s) Chris Horner took something of a mocking tone. Think of an analyst in a candy shop of tasty falsifications: so many fabrications of history and weather science to share with readers; such risible posturings by politicians to point out; such transparent attempts by warming advocates to bully skeptical experts; such wrongheaded policy recommendations to expose. Seen through Horner’s talented eye, so many opportunities to expose them.

Horner is every bit as witty in his just-released “Red Hot Lies,” a well-documented exploration of the structure, tactics, and allies of the global warming movement. As he says of his subject, “It is an amazing story, one which I take great pleasure in exploring, and exposing.”

Al Gore’s global warming debunked – by kids!

Russell Young, a Minnesota writer who captured first place in the essay competition, explained the importance of using celebrities such as Gore and the medium of movies to enhance the educational experience for students.

“Here are just a few other films schools might use for their teaching curriculums. ‘The Polar Express’ could be used for instruction on transportation systems. ‘Borat’ is a perfect teaching tool for understanding how the Democratic Party uses focus groups. ‘Alien,’ could be used to teach students about anatomy and homeland security, all at the same time,” he wrote.

“Kids across America are being victimized by global warming hysteria,” according to Holly Fretwell, author of The Sky’s Not Falling: Why It’s OK to Chill About Global Warming.
