The Skeptical Environmentalist
Scared Stiff: 101 Things More Likely to Kill You Than Climate Change

Perfect for you if...

You're sceptical of mainstream climate narratives and want a rigorous counterargument from someone with actual policy experience.
You care about cost-benefit analysis and think blanket climate solutions deserve harder economic scrutiny.
You appreciate contrarian thinking backed by data rather than ideological positioning on either side.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for scientific deep-dives into atmospheric physics or climate modelling methodology.
You believe climate change is the paramount crisis of our time and aren't open to reframing its urgency.
You prefer your climate reading from active climate scientists rather than policy economists.

About this book

Nigel Lawson, former Secretary of State for Energy under Margaret Thatcher, examines global warming across multiple dimensions: the science, economics, politics, and ethics. He argues that conventional wisdom on the subject warrants scrutiny and contends that global warming does not pose the catastrophic threat widely claimed. Lawson further argues that the proposed remedies are both politically unattainable and would cause greater harm than the threat they aim to address. The book presents this analysis through logic, common sense, and wit, supported by thorough sourcing and references.
