When I first saw this image a few weeks ago, I noted in passing that Morano's book was filled with lies.
Some guy in Norway (since blocked) challenged me to identify 4 or 5 lies in the text. And because I'm a woman of my word ---> thread👇🏽

From page 45. Note the lack of citation.
Where are the peer-reviewed papers by “renowned climatologists” arguing that a tripling of CO2 concentrations would have only minor impacts on temperatures? They don’t exist. Because this claim is a lie.

From page 47. This claim is also a lie. Current warming is over 100% attributable to human activity.
The citation leads not to a scientific study, but to congressional testimony by Dr Will Happer, a Emeritus Prof of Physics, who specializes in optics, and who...

And then there’s this gem, from page 68. A huuuge lie.
Just now the Arctic is about 30-35F above normal—the difference between a chilly Fall day and a hot summer afternoon.
