Recently Japanese scientist Dr. Kiyohiko Ikeda (@IkedaKiyohiko) retweeted about a newspaper book review appearing in the Sankei Shinbum, which reported on how Marc Morano’s best selling “The Politically Incorrect Guide To Climate Change” was hitting the book market in Japan.
今日の産経に、地球温暖化の不都合な真実がありました。いよいよ地球温暖化、CO₂削減とは何だったか、明らかにされています。国連の気候変動サミットも、色あせて、白々しく感じたものでした。風力発電のアホらしさは最初から分かっているのに、なぜ被害を拡大したのか。悪党よ pic.twitter.com/0yFnfS8KXL

Mr. Morano’s Politically Incorrect Guide book had been recently released in the Japanese version, translated from the English by Tadashi Watanabe, Professor Emeritus of Chemistry of the University of Tokyo and Professor of Tokyo University of Science Graduate School.
Mann lost in court
The Sankei Shimbun book review, authored by Shohei Nagatsuji, explains how this summer an event occurred and challenges the foundation on which the existing IPCC bases its CO2 global warming theory, but which went unreported in Japan. This August, the reliability of Dr. Michael Mann’s hockey stick graph was rocked after he had lost a defamation case against a Canadian researcher [Dr. Tim Ball], who had sharply criticized the hockey stick graph.
“Hundreds of factors” behind climate change
The Sankei Shimbun also reports how Mr. Marc Morano’s book -「地球温暖化」の不都合な真実』- presents the criticisms of Prof. Mann and the inside workings of IPCC.
The Japanese daily explains how Morano’s book cites scientists who say “temperature is mainly determined by water vapor and clouds, so even if CO2 is doubled or tripled, the situation would be almost the same” and that there are in fact “hundreds of factors contributing to climate change.”
Marc Morano’s best selling “The Politically Incorrect Guide To Climate Change” now in Japanese.
All focus on CO2 is “misplaced”
The Japanese daily also says Mr. Morano’s book shows how scientists from the UK and New Zealand saying that putting all the focus on CO2 is ” misplaced”.
“…amazed at each chapter”
According to the Sankei Shimbun:
We recommend you take this book because it is easy to read. You’ll be amazed at each chapter. It is full of scientific controversies and scandals over global warming that are not well understood in Japan.”
No consensus
The Sankei Shimbun concludes that Mr. Morano’s book provides “an overall picture of the global warming issue” and that it is an issue which “can be viewed from multiple perspectives.”
Overall it’s a very positive, welcome review for Marc Morano’s “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change” here in Japan. Recently Morano’s book has climbed near the top of the charts for books under Environment.
ah don’t worry-
“EFFECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER
Infrared is radiant heat. It is the same feeling of warmth as the winter sun on your face and the heat from a coal fire. It is even the same form of heat emitted by your own body. It is the most basic form of heating known to man.
Infrared is the direct transfer of heat from the heater to the object (you and the room around you) without heating the air in between. It’s the same heat we feel from an environment warmed by the sun, and the wavelength most efficiently absorbed by the body. It is 100% safe and natural (it’s UV from the sun that is harmful, not infrared).
Today, new technology, in the form of our 100% energy efficient, Herschel Infrared heating, allows us to use infrared radiant heating in a stylish, comfortable and highly controllable way”

Twice, and neither time did I understand what this has to do with the story from Japan.
I guess it is my advancing age!

Thanks Paul.
” translated from the English by Tadashi Watanabe ”
A task and a half.
kind of free expression of something that amused me. Just go with the flow.
Pierre,
Sorry about the “Paul” — forgot where I was for a moment.
Don’t worry. It comes to us all, old man.

How so? Got the normal climate skeptics reality distortion field activated again?
Yes, the climate/weather changes. It has ever since life began after the molten ball we call Earth ended. Hell, weatherpersons have trouble forecasting the weather days in advance without their satellites. So, what makes the climate a challenge. Because there are dozens of factors, maybe more, that muddle the theory of CC. CO2 is necessary for plant growth, so why would we want to lower its presence ??? In the pre WWII subs while submerged, the CO2 level went well over 1,000 ppm multiple times with no health hazards. Lets hold off on any actions for another 10 years, just to see if any of what’s being hyped today comes true. I venture to predict “NOTHING”. So AOC, put a sock in it.
RE – ”Mann lost in court”
Here a Conservative lawyer weighs in.
https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2019/08/michael-mann-refuses-to-produce-data-loses-case.php
”…, it is absurd for Mann to sue Ball for libel, and then refuse to produce the documents that would have helped to show whether Ball’s statement about him–he belongs in the state pen–was true or false. The logical inference is that the R2 regression analysis and other materials, if produced, would have supported Ball’s claim that the hockey stick was a deliberate fraud on Mann’s part.”
UPDATE
Just saw this over at John Ray’s “Greenie Watch” blog.

Thanks to Mann’s arrogance and Tim Ball’s persistence, the “hockey stick” has been shown, yet again, to be a worthless piece of junk science.
