“The science has changed since 2003”
…
This booklet has captured attention around the world.
Donors have paid for over 160,000 copies so far in the US, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden and soon in Germany. Over 60,000 copies have been downloaded from this site (and countless others from copies on other sites.) Plus volunteers have translated it into German, French, Norwegian, Finnish, Swedish, Turkish, Portuguese, Danish, Japanese, Balkan, Spanish, Thai, Czech, Lao and Italian. The second Skeptics Handbook is available in French and Turkish. (Versions in Dutch, and possibly Italian are on the way). Updates are placed here, along with translations, as well as places to read comments and links to the web-pages where each part of the handbook will be discussed.
I confess this page is not always up to date. For the latest list of all translations : See all posts tagged Translations.

They released a summary report, Climate Change reconsidered, available on line. You can also access a flood of work from Fred Singer, one of the most knowledgeable climate scientist on earth.

Stupid question: If the concentration of CO2 is increasing, that would mean that either the density of the atmosphere is increasing, which seems absurd, or that CO2 is displacing other gases from the atmosphere. If that’s the case, then the greenhouse effect will only increase to the degree to which CO2 is displacing gases that are less greenhouse-y. Is this what climatologists are claiming?
Sorry if this is basic knowledge, but I didn’t see this argument in the handbook, and I can’t recall anybody else mentioning it, either pro or con.
It seems to me that if this is the claim, it would be difficult to measure which gases were being displaced by CO2, and to what degree. Are there any such measurements?
If not, then it would seem there is no actual causal link between CO2 concentration and temperature, regardless of the degree of correlation. Without that link, the same thinking that accepts the warming hypothesis would accept any random hypothesis that CO2 and temperature increase together in response to some other factors. Und so weiter. Doesn’t seem very logical to me.
Again, sorry if I’m being a dunce; I’m probably missing something, but one wonders about things.

Joanne,
on http://joannenova.com.au/global-warming/ page, when I click on the “Global Bullies want your money” it tries to download the short version of the Sceptics handbook…
Something’s wrong somewhere 🙁

thanks. I’ll look into that. I think it’s ok – just confusing. Version 2 of the first book is called 2.3 but version 1 of the second book is called v II? Does that help? Jo

Is ‘Screaming Lord Monkton’ touring Australia again soon? He was great last time! We really need someone like him to point out the sheer greed of those blood sucking scientists who are making an absolute fortune by the wicked spreading of their assertions based on empirical evidence! I regularly see those bastards cruising by in their Bentley convertibles. Enough, and no more, fellow skeptics! A grain of skeptic sand is worth a tonne of scientific gold! Together we can defeat the insurmountable evidence!!
31
Don’t expect the acadaemic scientists, suckling on the public teat, to be well rewarded. They’re the useful idiots. Give them just enough to remind them, what they have to lose should they stop.
10
Hands up all those who think there is no longer a problem and we should all find new jobs, anyone?
10
Global bullies!?? Can one of you nut cases please explain who these bullies really are? By that, I mean in reality, not the crazed dreams or visions you may have been experiencing. Joe V, you seem to be on top of this whole conspiracy thing. Perhaps you can shed some light?
21
Disappointing to say the least. I was hoping this might be a guide to skepticism, it turns out to be a science denial pamphlet. Still if you love conspiracy theories and unsubstantiated assertions then this could be for you. I just love the notion that data is being hidden when it is readily available to anyone who cares to search. Just as an experiment I just found and downloaded the hadcrut4 dataset in under 5 seconds, and any paper on a specific issue will be published either including or linking the data upon which it is based.
Any genuine skeptic will look forward to the real skeptics among you quickly accepting the scientific consensus.

Good to have Chinese translation as well.

Kate, thanks for your erudite feedback. So you haven’t got any evidence it was wrong, just that I’m a bad person, is that it?

Victorians are very weak these days because they was a 53 degree day in Mildura at one time. It was in 1906 on Climate Science. And it got up to 51C in Ouyen in January 1932

Yes Climate bullies are money makers. They mean climate change is real but its not.

Liberals and Independents are better governments for rent and future. Labor put the country and leaves Australians in hard times. I wish Labor got kicked out.

Hello Joanne, Tony Thomas put me onto your website. Please look at the work of Dr. Noack on how Graphene Hydroxide is the killer in Covid “vaccines”. It is 60 years since I studied science so I would value your feedback. I could not find an email address or a phone number. Regards Ross.

It’s not easy under Anthony Albanese. Because Albanese has done nothing for us Australians he only putted up the food prices, interest rates high and house prices up too high so he needs to get kicked out. It is never easy with Labor and the Unions governments or the Greens they are all fucked. We had enough of our food prices and our rents going up it needs to stop. They are only blaming Covid but it’s only rubbish. The banks are greedy and Labor are global bullies and they take too much of people’s money
10
Liberals and Independents are better governments for Australia.
00
Australia would be so good if we didn’t have Unions. Do you know the Unions only make trouble put
it that way.
00
Science is better done by paleontologists but climate scientists including climate bullies they only want money. Paleontology is more interesting and the findings are great.
00
Yeah indeed global bullies are money makers after your money. Toll roads are a waste of money they are money hungry people making people pay to under those freeways. That is called daylight robbery.
00
Paying for parking is disgusting the councilman and governments trying to steal money off people and it’s horrible. Why pay for parking that’s like daylight robbery same with people paying to use online articles that’s the government getting your money greedy bitchs.
