2. Climate change déjà vu (Two centuries of climate scares ; The inconvenient global cooling scare of the 1970s ; The big switch)

3. "Pulled from thin air": the 97 percent 'consensus' (Fooling even the scientists ; Whole dozens of scientists! ; Dubious evidence for a ubiquitous number ; The fake science is not fooling the public)

4. The tail does not wag the dog (The origins of the global warming scare ; Human beings don't breathe out poison ; What really causes climate change ; The positive benefits of [carbon dioxide] ; If anything, it's the other way around)

6. The hottest temperatures in a thousand years! Michael Mann's hockey schtick (Hiding the medieval warm period ; The hockey stick breaks under scrutiny ; Replicating error ; Dissension in the ranks)

7. A long cool pause (Satellites over surface ; The pause that refreshes ; The world is not burning)

8. Models do not equal evidence (Predictions are suddenly "evidence", models are now "data" ; Sub-standard software ; In violation of basic principles)

9. The eroding 'consensus' (Goaded into taking a stand ; Re-evaluating the evidence ; More skeptics on the left ; From true believers to heretics)

10. Climategate: the UN IPCC exposed (Breaking ranks ; Circling the wagons ; Thoroughly discredited ; Insiders speak out)

11. What's in a name? How "global warming" became "climate change" (Unfalsifiable ; Emergency! The government must fix the weather ; All the world's ills)

12. Not so extreme (Normal variation ; Tropical cyclones and hurricanes ; Tornadoes ; Drought ; Floods and heavy rains ; Wildfires ; Ocean acidification)

13. The ever-receding tipping point (Deadlines come and go ; The last chance ; "Serially doomed")

14. Controlling climate ... or you? (Spreading the wealth, governing the globe ; Dictator envy ; Voluntary poverty ; The carbon tax ; Just turn down the heat )

15. Climbing onto the climate change gravy train (Deep pockets ; Making out like a bandit ; They get more money: even from gas producers ; Cut them off)

16. Hypocrisy on parade (High fliers ; Noble savages ; More Hollywood hypocrites)

17. Child propoganda (Frightening the children: and using them ; Children versus the climate)

18. Bypassing democracy to impose green energy mandates (Chinafication ; No impact ; Not winning over the public)

19. Green colonialism (We've got ours ; Fossil fuels: a power for good ; Keep the black man down ; Irreplaceable ; [Carbon dioxide] the healthy addiction)
