A warmist coup seems to have taken place on Amazon, the online bookseller, writes Christopher Booker.
The proselytisers for man-made global warming have long exercised a tight stranglehold over the contents of Wikipedia. The editors of that online source of all knowledge are ready with lightning speed to ensure that its entries related to climate change are purged of any hint of dissent from the party line – and that entries for “climate sceptics” are given a viciously dismissive twist, Now it seems a similar coup has taken place on Amazon, the online outlet which is Britain’s largest bookseller.
Over the past year, Amazon’s list of global-warming bestsellers has been wholly dominated by sceptics, with my own book The Real Global Warming Disaster standing for months at number one. At the end of last month, however, all the more recent sceptical books were suddenly removed from the list. My own volume, Andrew Montford’s The Hockey Stick Illusion, Bob Carter’s Climate: The Counter Consensus and others have all vanished from the list, so that it is now dominated by titles pushing the prescribed pro-warming line.
One can see from our books’ individual rankings that they are still far outselling almost all the warmist tracts that Amazon clearly prefers, sometimes by tens of thousands of places, But if, by means of this cunning manoeuvre, Amazon ends up selling fewer books, at least some will perhaps be ready to commend them for such self-sacrificial dedication to the cause.

Yes, Amazon sucks. However, it is the only source for long-forgotten moves and books on all topics. I sense a marketing opportunity for some honest seller.
I hope someone less red than Amazon steps in and takes their market away.
There's no room in this country for those who kowtow to the totalitarian warmongers.
Let Amazon erect a statue to Gore with his quote about it being “millions of degrees” 2 km beneath the surface of the Earth. Much hotter than the surface of the Sun, you know.
