Here’s the description of Climate Cult:


Climate Cult reveals how the climate change agenda has reached into virtually every corner of American life, reducing personal freedom, exacerbating inflation, usurping property rights, and redefining social justice, equity, and equality—to save liberty, it must be stopped.

“Of over thirty books I have read on this topic, Brian Sussman has the best understanding of what the climate movement is all about…Climate Cult is a must-read.” —Dr. Neil Frank, Former Director, National Hurricane Center

The climate change agenda has nothing to do with a pristine environment. Instead, it’s a devious scheme designed to upend America’s foundational rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Originally conceived by early disciples of Marx, this scheme relies on ecological crises—both real and imagined—to frighten the masses into cult-like submission as it seeks to create a brave new world. Advanced by the United Nations, promoted by the World Economic Forum, practiced at the federal and state level, embraced by the educational system, and sold by media mouthpieces, the climate change agenda has invaded nearly every aspect of society, threatening to dismantle American liberty and advance a total reset of the world’s economy. In Climate Cult, Brian Sussman presents impeccable research and persuasive facts that will embolden you to take a stand against this dangerous charade.

World’s Foremost Hurricane Expert Reveals the Climate Hoax

Dr. Neil Frank is the former Director of the National Hurricane Center and the world foremost expert on hurricanes. He’s always been a professional hero of mine (he’s 92-years young), and a couple months ago I literally prayed, “Lord, is there a way for Dr. Frank to read the manuscript for my book? I’d love to get his endorsement.”

Lo and behold, I was able to get the manuscript to Dr. Frank, and he did endorse it, with great enthusiasm I might add!

This week on my podcast, I present part one of my recent interview Dr. Frank. He describes how, in the Eighties, he initially trusted the cadre of scientists who were tooting the horn on global warming, but never researched any of their claims for himself as he was busy forecasting the biggest storms on earth. However, at the behest of a colleague, he did eventually dig into the details and was astounded by the sloppy conclusions of the global warming crowd.

In this episode of the Brian Sussman Show (EP 229, video version below) you’ll meet Dr. Frank and witness his passion as he shares that the claims from the climate change activists, especially regarding hurricanes, are not founded in reality.

Save the Climate, Plant trees! Wait—No—Erect solar panels!

For quite a few years now, many environmental organizations have been telling their supporters to make donations so that trees can be planted to offset global warming and climate change caused by carbon dioxide emissions. The idea is, since plants require carbon dioxide and absorb  it for the process of photosynthesis, planting trees would make for excellent places to naturally deposit excess carbon dioxide.  In fact, there are for-profit “carbon exchanges” where members of the climate cult can atone for their personal dirty carbon footprints by purchasing offsets, which usually include planting trees in the name of the buyer. This quote from the CarbonFund’s website verifies my point: “Planting trees is an excellent way to offset the carbon emissions you have generated through your energy consumption.”

I navigated their website and found that for $4000 I could offset a years-worth of carbon dioxide pollution! If I were to pull the trigger on this purchase, they say they can use that money to plant 4000 trees in my name!

Hmm. Is the guilt-ridden carbon sinner getting scammed, or what?

But wait! Next, I headed over to the Climate Portal at MIT to see what the brainiacs at the Writer’s Team has to say about this. They present a dire warning: we’re past the tipping point and planting trees is just not enough. “Humanity’s emissions have tipped that natural cycle out of balance,” they report, “And the enormous complexity of this system makes it perhaps impossible to say for sure how many new trees would be required to bring it back into balance.”

Darn. Planting a tree seemed so easy. So now what does the climate transgressor do?

Well, according to a just published article at Science Daily, “There is another way of dealing with the climate crisis, which, unlike the forests, is neither natural nor green, at least not in the literal sense of the word. This artificial solution consists of erecting fields of dark-colored solar panels. Obviously, the production of electricity from solar power has a positive impact on climate balance, since it replaces power stations that use fossil fuels such as coal and gas, thereby reducing harmful emissions of greenhouse gases that accumulate at increasing concentrations in the atmosphere.”

Of course, there was nothing in the article about the carbon dioxide emitted from the heavy machinery required to mine the rare earth minerals required for the solar panels, not to mention emissions associated with transportation, construction, and installation of the panels. Really, this is just another opportunity for highly favored renewable energy investors to make loads of cash while claiming to be green.

I’ll reveal a lot more of these schemes in my upcoming book, Climate Cult: Exposing Their Agenda, Defeating Their Schemes, Saving Liberty.

Junk Science, Delusion, and California’s “Green” Energy Grid

For nearly seventy years—since the 1960’s—California has been the epicenter of a radical philosophy that holds capitalism, wealth, property rights, and conservatism as enemies of the people. This progressive ideology gave birth to the modern environmental movement, which the uncompromising green extremists have used as a sledgehammer to attack lifestyles that they conclude are harming the planet. Ultimately, the broadminded thinkers have concocted environmental laws and policies designed to ultimately control of the rest of us whom they declare to be “lesser-minded.”

To accomplish this, one of their key goals is to limit the flow of inexpensive energy available to the masses, thereby eventually forcing people to make lifestyle changes that are more congruent with their climate agenda, which demonizes fossil fuels and calls for the end of “Big Oil.” They want us to reduce our personal carbon footprint, downsize our homes, become dependent on mass transit, and herd us into cities where we can be better observed, better controlled,  and better regulated.

The lie they have activated to move forward their plans involves a compound necessary for life: carbon dioxide (CO2). They contend CO2 is a pollutant stemming from the use of gas and oil products required to create energy. While it’s true that carbon dioxide is a heat-absorbing greenhouse gas that is emitted whenever fossil fuels are used, it is not accurate to claim such usage is causing global warming or climate change. In my upcoming book, Climate Cult, I discuss this in very easy to understand terms. Suffice it to say, without greenhouse gases where you live would likely see temperature swings of 100-degrees between night and day.

Actually, where you live would be unlivable.

Additionally, CO2 is a requisite for all plant life. In fact, the more CO2, the more plants are able to thrive. But these are facts that get in the way of the climate agenda.

In their quest bring forth what Al Gore has described as “a wrenching transformation of society,” for the past several decades lawmakers in California have been putting in place aggressive moves towards renewable electricity production—solar and wind—thereby eventually killing Big Oil. While doing so, they frequently tout the state’s nation-leading electric efficiency and its supposed reduction in CO2 emissions. But what they don’t tell you is that Californian’s are paying the highest prices for electricity in the contiguous United States and that the energy grid in the Golden State is hanging by a thread.

While there are a myriad of laws and policies that have made California’s retail consumer electric prices totally out of line with the rest of the country, I’ll boil it down to just a few.

WATCH BRIAN TALK ABOUT THIS ARTICLE IN HIS LATEST PODCAST

First, despite being a state with some of the country’s most abundant natural gas reserves, California has made the decision to eventually curtail the use of those resources. There are only three natural gas plants left operating in the state and the legislature has plans to shutter than all.  However, there is a huge disconnect with reality that the environmental community doesn’t want you to know about.  California has led the way in government subsidized solar and wind arrays; it’s the only way the bureaucrats have been able to get renewable generation—which is very costly by the kilowatt—to market.  Problem is, solar only works on a sunny day well after sunrise and well before sunset. Wind turbines only create electricity when the wind is blowing just right, not too fast or too slow. When conditions are not perfect, the grid has to be powered by another source. The go-to is natural gas. Yes, there is nuclear and hydropower in California, but both combined make up less than 20-percent of total electricity output, and the environmentalists want to see those sources come to an end as well. In fact, perhaps in an effort to appear moderate and save face under his watch, Governor Newsome actually pushed to extend the usage of California’s last remaining nuclear plant for another five years.

California’s electricity production is very much dependent on natural gas, which now has to be imported from other states, and that’s very expensive, not to mention fiscally stupid. In fact, California is the nation’s biggest importer of electricity. In the past, this meant bringing in a lot of coal-fired power from Arizona and Utah. But a law passed in 2006 alongside the state’s more famous AB 32—the Global Warming Solutions Act—effectively banned reupping contracts from traditional out-of-state coal-powered generating companies.

As a result, something known as “electron laundering” has arisen to fill the gap. This occurs, for example, when California, in its hunt for green electrons to power their grid, pays British Columbian for hydropower. The Canadians are more than happy to sell hydropower as they backfill their own power needs with coal power from Washington State and Alberta. It’s a shell game. California gets higher-priced power that they can claim to be “green,” while the Canadians get American greenbacks to fund their socialized health care system. But it’s even more devious. To maintain the green mirage, California authorities created a category of imported power called “Unspecified Sources of Power” that provide about 10 percent of the state’s electrical needs. The “Unspecified Sources” are coal.

Meantime, all the legislators continue to make the phony claim that California is leading the way to a carbon-free, “net zero,” energy grid.

Another big reason for the sky-high monthly utility bills has to do with the many rooftop solar arrays. Because the electricity generated by the panels is free to the user (with any excess fed back to the grid), the user doesn’t receive a bill each month that automatically includes additional fees for “fixed costs” which include maintenance, generation, transmission, and distribution as well as public programs like wildfire mitigation. When households adopt solar, they’re not paying their fair share, while they still rely on the state’s electric grid for much of their power consumption. This is another reason for the grid’s higher electricity prices in California.

Electric vehicles (EV) pose another problem.  Despite the propaganda, these vehicles generally suck in electricity from the grid that is derived primarily from natural gas.  Thanks to government subsidies and a massive PR campaign, as more drivers switch to an EV, and as the politicians in Sacramento continue their warpath against natural gas, the grid’s capacity will continue to be stretched, leading to higher prices, rolling black outs, and forced lifestyle adjustments. On hot summer days, California is already seeing electronic signs above the highways urging EV owners to charge their vehicles after the peak evening energy hours have concluded. And this is happening with only 3 percent of the vehicles on the road being electric–just wait until new gasoline powered vehicles are prevented from being sold in California in 2035—per the law.

But wait there’s more. While Bidenflation is taking a big bite out of the working family’s bank account, California is set to employ another electricity rate hike in 2024.

Biggest Climate Lie of 2023

The big climate story for 2023 is also one of the biggest pseudo-science lies to ever be perpetrated on humanity. According to numerous recent news reports, 2023 is “virtually certain” to go down in the record book as the hottest 12-month period in the past 125,000 years.

Virtually certain.

Where does this prognostication originate? From a batch of scientists in Europe. Says the Reuters news agency: “This year is virtually certain to be the warmest in 125,000 years, European Union scientists said [in November] after data showed last month was the world’s hottest October in that period.”

In my upcoming book, Climate Cult, I illustrate how ridiculous statements like this pass for facts, when they are actually purposeful barbs of disinformation.

First off, Earth’s actual, complete, temperature record only extends back to 1979, when we first began monitoring the atmosphere via satellite. That means there have been 124,956 years unaccounted for. Apart from the satellite record, most of the planet’s thermometers have been installed since the 1980’s. Not too long. The most reliable, widespread temperature gauges recording daily high and low readings are housed in the United States and have been in place since the mid to late 19th century. These records, from the U.S. Historical Climatology Network, point to the 1930’s as experiencing the hottest weather since the Industrial Revolution and the associated use of fossil fuels for energy. Temperature records in other parts of the world are largely unreliable, primarily due to wars, political upheaval, and various disasters.

So, where are the European Union scientists getting this from? Was there a pre-Adamic race jotting down daily temperatures on the walls of caves sthat the rest of us don’t know about?

The writer of the Reuters’ article also insists, “The heat is a result of continued greenhouse gas emissions from human activity, combined with the emergence this year of the El Nino weather pattern, which warms the surface waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean.”

Note to Reuters: greenhouse gases are a necessary feature for the survival of all living species and organisms.  Without these heat absorbing gases, Earth would be void of life. Second, the “greenhouse gas emissions” you are referring to are, of course, carbon dioxide, which is a compound required for the survival of the plant kingdom, without which Earth would be uninhabitable. Of the miniscule amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (.04 percent), at the most—4 percent—is created by “human activity.” Hardly scary.

Also, the El Nino weather pattern is driven by periodic ocean currents that remain a mystery. And those currents (like water vapor and even cloud cover) cannot be factored into the highly touted climate models used to predict the planet’s impending doom.

What we do know about past climate is that it was once much warmer than today. We know this from observation. For example, in the Swiss Alps and the Andes Mountains in South America, looking upwards at the peaks one can easily discern dead tree stumps above the current tree line, extending an average of 1,500 feet beyond current growth. In other words, at one point the climate was so warm that trees could flourish at significantly higher elevations. That’s just one example defying the climate lies.

Those drawn in to the climate cult have been duped by the wild claims made by activists parading as scientists, leftist politicians, stakeholders looking for emotion-based funding, early investors in so-called “green” technologies who are looking to make a financial killing, and members of the media who hate America.

As I will reveal in Climate Cult, the climate change agenda has nothing to do with caring for the environment. Instead, it is a plan to dismantle and obliterate the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The book will be out next year, just in time for Earth Day, April 22nd.
