There are a growing number of books out that explain why people are skeptical of climate change alarmism. Many of these are getting good ratings and reader reviews on Amazon. Below is a list of 16 that are relatively recent and have ratings of at least 4 out of 5 possible stars. All data is from Amazon, as of the time of this writing. Some of these books are well read friends, but some I had never heard of until I went looking.

Actually there is one exception to the ratings criterion for inclusion, which is Bernie Lewin’s new book on the origins of the infamous UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It has no ratings or reviews yet, but it got a lengthy positive review and discussion over at Judith Curry’s Climate Etc blog.

Also included are some older books by Dr. Roy Spencer, our most prolific writer. His list includes the top rated book, with 5 stars and 466 reviews. He is the father of the satellite temperature tracking system that the IPCC ignores. As I have pointed out, it shows no sign of CO2 warming since it began 40 years ago.

Many of these books come in very inexpensive Kindle versions and all are nontechnical. Most are suitable for classroom use. The thousands of reviews also make interesting reading.
