I was thrilled to read your review of Inhofe’s book in my Sunday Tulsa World. “Hoax claims ring hollow” should be required reading for everyone, especially our Neanderthal Oklahoma politicians.

After reading your review I decided I needed to learn more about J.C. Moore and finally landed on your Web site. Amazing. Not only was I unaware of you, but I seriously doubted there was anyone with Tulsa connections who was actually writing intelligently – and from a scientifically and factually based standpoint – about issues like Climate Change and Global Warming. I subscribed via email feed immediately.

Speaking personally, I’ve been in and around electric utilities, write an online newsletter dealing with reciprocating engine emissions, and have generally learned enough about the dangers of excessive CO2 to have become a believer. I’ve read WAY too many books dealing with climate change (though I doubt I’ll bother to read Inhofe). It is a depressing situation to contemplate where we are headed as a species and the legacy our generation is about to pass onto the future of mankind.

It would be fun to get to know you and learn and discuss more. Again, I am delighted to have discovered jcmooreonline.com

First, let me say that you are a man of your word. I’ve seen many reviews of my book from followers of various degrees of ‘Dark Green Religion’. However, until this time not one actually read the book. We are living in remarkable times when people will write reviews of work they have never actually bothered to read. From that point of view, it is quite refreshing to read your review, because you have been more honest than the great majority of those who will pan a work simply on the basis of prejudice. Your review is a genuine attempt to interact with more honesty, and for that I thank you, even if I may disagree with certain aspects of what you have written.

I’ll try shortly to interact more with your review, which I but at this point I am genuinely overwhelmed by your sincere efforts to provide your candid thoughts on my work.

“ J. Weather Stations Project
Every few months, weathermen report that a temperature record – either high or low – has been
broken somewhere in the U.S. This is not surprising, since weather is highly variable and reliable
instrument records date back less than 100 years old. Regrettably, news of these broken records
is often used by environmental extremists as evidence that human emissions are causing either
global warming or the more ambiguous “climate change.” …
“Heartland has agreed to help Anthony raise $88,000 for the project in 2011. The Anonymous
Donor has already pledged $44,000. We’ll seek to raise the balance.”

“1) Who reviewed your paper Roy? Did you submit a list of potential reviewers? If so who, and were they amongst the reviewers selected to review your paper?
(Spencer) re Q1: Almost every journal requires a list of suggested reviewers, and except for one reviewer, the identities of the reviewers chosen was unknown to us.”

I’m not sure how Spencer knew the name of one of the reviewers chosen, but surely he would know the names of the 5 he submitted.

It is said, what you focus on, expands. The alternate fuel research for cars is one such area. Any lack of it’s satisfactory progress is not in the inherent technicalities but due to the fact that historically such focus had been highjacked by oil companies and traded for ‘speed’ and ‘power’. One needs to see BMWs and Lamborghinis trudging along at snail’s pace in sea of city cars to realize that. It is understandable why ‘true cost’ of fossil fueled motor transport is so problematic for few to appreciate.
I completely agree with you that, contrary to common perception, Climate Change is not entirely a doomsday scenario – it offers opportunities too. But only properly informed are capable of discovering those opportunities.
