Goreham's profile on Climatism.net describes him as an engineer and business executive with extensive experience at Fortune 100 public companies and private firms. They describe his book, Climatism as an "overview of the science, politics, and energy policy implications of the world’s misguided efforts to stop global warming."
". . . the science clearly shows that global warming is due to natural causes, despite the tidal wave of world belief in man-made climate change." [2]
"The global wind industry is built on a foundation of sand—the hypothesis that man-made global warming is destroying Earth's climate." [3]

Goreham is the author of Climatism! Science, Common Sense, and the 21st Century's Hottest Topic.
A media release describes the book: "Goreham demonstrates that climate change is due to natural causes, not man-made emissions of greenhouse gases. Therefore, humanity is engaged in a futile effort to control the Earth’s temperature, imposing severe policies that will limit our freedoms and radically transform our way of life."
He also publishes skeptical articles at Climate Realists, and contributes to conservative websites such as Big Government.

There is a vast difference between putting forth a point of view, honestly held, and intentionally sowing the seeds of confusion. Free speech does not include the right to deceive. Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.
THERE’S a section on the Heartland Institute’s website pointing readers to “Stuff We Wish We Wrote”.
After events over the last year or so, the chaps at the fossil fuel-funded “think tank” might want to add a new section with the title “Stuff We Wish We Hadn’t Wrote”.
The Heartland Institute, for those who don’t know, is a Chicago-based group promoting any view or position that argues we shouldn’t do anything about human-caused climate change. They run campaigns, hold conferences...
