By depoliticizing the energy-climate debate the authors succeed in exposing corrupt political thinking and 'green' myth-making about issues that affect every one of us. Today, energy is the most important commodity in the world. Yet our basic energy security is threatened by an ideological social agenda driven more by myth than reality. "Energy and Climate Wars" exposes the energy and climate myths that are driving today's public debate, from the West's war on carbon to the concept of peak oil and renewable energy. Using facts and empirical science, Peter Glover and Michael Economides show how most of the battle over energy and climate issues are the works of political and 'green' ideologues bent on social engineering programs. They present facts that are often obscured by media hype and speculative science to demolish popular myths, including the belief that energy politics are carried out in the best interest of all and that renewable energy can replace hydrocarbon economy. A thought-provoking, meticulously researched book, "Energy and Climate Wars" will help readers grasp the issues at stake and understand how energy and climate policy directly affect their lives with higher energy prices and security threats.

Review
'A good read for anyone interested in climate and energy issues. Agree or disagree, the issues are too important to be viewed through a politically correct smokescreen. The book is a commendable contribution to the debate.' --rereact.com

Very interesting book to read, I'd highly recommend it to anyone studying energy academically or those just reading for their own interest as its written in a very readable way.

This book is a very pleasant, interesting, informative, never boring reading.
Dealing with a planetary controversial subject like Energy and its many implications, the debate is articulated and hot but never harsch and irrespectful towards others' points of view.
The authors sustain passionately their ideas, but never look dogmatic and narrow-minded (a very rare gift nowadays!), as they use facts and science to substantiate their views.
I would certainly suggest this book not only to the ones interested on realistic, no-romanticistic interpretation of our possible energy future, but also to the many that have already matured firm convictions on their own, as they will be offered on a golden plate lots of challenging thoughts and ideas to test their beliefs with.

There is some good stuff on the exaggerated claims of those who believe we are all doomed, but the climate-change material is less good than in several other recent books (especially Carter, which I recommend) and the energy material is really quite boring at times. Quite trenchant, though, and recommended to anyone new to this. Not very well copy-edited or proofed, a problem with topical books.

You love the Daily Mail and James Delingpole. You love to hear about how UN neo-pagans are trying to support Lucifer by forging a new 'pan-theistic religion' through the UN (p159). Read more

Prejudice, dressed-up as information
Pretending to be an information source about the present and the future with regard to energy and climate, this book is, in fact, a long winded advert for the oil, gas and coal... Read more
