I don't believe the paperback is on sale yet, but at the link there were some free comments from the book that were very interesting. Patrick Moore, Ph.D. is a good writer, with a science background. Everything he writes is worth reading. Especially if it is free:

"... central thesis of the book is this:
"A while back it dawned on me that the great majority of scare stories about the present and future state of the planet, and humanity as a whole, are based on subjects that are either invisible, extremely remote, or both.
Thus, the vast majority of people have no way of observing and verifying for themselves the truth of these claims predicting these alleged catastrophes and devastating threats.
Instead, they must rely on the activists, the media, the politicians, and the scientists – all of whom have a very large financial and/or political stake in the subject – to tell them the truth.
This welcomes the opportunity to simply invent narratives such as the claim that “CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels are causing a climate emergency.”
No one can actually see, or in any way sense, what CO2 might actually be doing because it is invisible, odorless, tasteless, silent and cannot be felt by the sense of touch.
Therefore, it is difficult to refute such claims because there is nothing to point to and tangibly expose the falsity of these claims.
One can’t simply point to visible CO2 and say, “Look what awful things CO2 is doing over there.”
Thus, CO2 as a harmful, world-ending emission is an almost perfect subject to invent and propagate a doomsday story, and this fact has not gone unnoticed by those inclined to peddle unsubstantiated fabrications.
CO2 has become the scapegoat for an entire laundry list of negative effects that could require 118 books to record and tabulate.
Indeed, the website www.goodreads.com lists 118 books on the subject of climate change; and that’s confined to books exclusively written in the English language.
When one studies these “narratives” of invisible and remote circumstances, it is hard to avoid noticing that the purveyors often stoop to ridiculing and shaming, and likewise exhibit an unwillingness to discuss the allegations in a civilized manner.
It is virtually impossible to engage in debate. as they usually dismiss those who question their narrative as a skeptic, liar, denier, or in the pocket of “big oil.”
And if the alleged skeptic has employment, these narrators will work underhandedly to have you removed from your livelihood or position.
In summary, these purveyors of global environmental catastrophes are definitely a scurrilous and dishonest lot.
Healthy skepticism is at the very heart of scientific inquiry, and it has played an integral role in determining factual, scientific truth.
It is the duty of scientists to be skeptical of all new claims, especially when they are predictions of catastrophes that have not yet occurred."
