Since October 2026, “In the Name of Climate” has been available in a second, corrected edition. The reason is a single passage whose basis did not hold up when I checked it again. I have removed it. Here is what changed and why.
What was corrected
In the first edition, the chapter on Hal Harvey stated that Elon Musk’s foundation had indirectly helped fund Transport & Environment (T&E) via the National Philanthropic Trust. This account was based on secondary sources. On re-examination, no primary evidence for it could be found. The passage also contradicted another part of the book, where the same amount was attributed to a different foundation.
I have therefore removed the paragraphs in question, the corresponding addition to the network diagram and the related source reference.
Why I am making this public
A book that critically examines networks, money flows and the handling of facts in climate policy has to apply the same standard to itself. Correcting mistakes quietly costs trust. My rule is simple: anything that cannot be backed by a beyond all doubt trustworthy source comes out – even if it would fit the picture nicely.
The correction concerns this one passage. The book’s thesis stands: green networks are gambling away Europe’s industry and jobs, making China the winner and democracy the loser.
What happens to the first edition
I am withdrawing the first edition from sale. If you already own it, this post contains the correction. The second edition is available as a Kindle edition on Amazon. The German original is titled “Im Namen des Klimas”.
If you spot any other errors, I would be grateful to hear about them.
