An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
Al Gore is effectively making a safe road to tell us the facts on Global Warming , but he is missing the fact that in 3-4 years we will have the New Ice Age going and Billion of people on Earth will die and he is missing 40-60 % of the basis of the Global Warming. The book is good and bad. We can stop this Global Warming in one month. But we cant’ do it untill we will expose the true cause of it. Click to continue »

The Chilling Stars: The New Theory of Climate Change

The Chilling Stars: The New Theory of Climate Change

The Chilling Stars: The New Theory of Climate Change – Review
As a person who has done some research on global warming I had some questions about contradictions that I have commonly found in other books. Such as why the Antarctic is cooling while the Arctic is slowly melting. The blame man became CO2 gases cannot explain why this should be as CO2 gases are evenly spread in both hemispheres. This book goes a likely explanation. During the Little Ice age artists doing landscapes and out door paintings almost always showed overcast skies. Click to continue »

The Coming Global Superstorm

The Coming Global Superstorm

The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
Although Bell and Strieber present interesting information in proof of their hypothesis about superstorms, the material could have been presented in 50 attractive pages. Instead this book contains 236 pages to present the same information over and over again. There could have been a strong message about action required to avert the superstorm. Unfortunately, it was seriously diluted in the repetitiveness.

The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming

The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming – Review
Last week, Rush Limbaugh eventually went on for an hour or thus resonating the honor of this book and its author. Normally I don’t listen to Rush (find him boring) but I besides read things like The Nation and I find that some older people on the left–like Christopher Hitchens–are quickly converging on the notion that there is a a good rat waiting in the global warming story, namely that the issue is overblown and both the extreme eventually left and right (i.e. Hitchens and Rush) appear to agree that the policies will cause financial harm for little accomplishment.

The Forgiving Air: Understanding Environmental Change, Second Edition

The Forgiving Air: Understanding Environmental Change, Second Edition

The Forgiving Air: Understanding Environmental Change, Second Edition – Review
In The Forgiving Air: Understanding Environmental Change, Richard C.J. Sommerville provides readers with a better understanding of our environment “because we’re less likely to do serious and permanent damage to it if we understand it better.” Sommerville is optimistic and feels that “humankind, when finally confronted with serious global ecological problems, is capable of acting rationally and cooperatively for the advantage of all life on Earth.” Sommerville acknowledges numerous threats to our environment such as the upward hole in the ozone, the greenhouse effect, total change, air pollution, and other problems usually caused by numerous artificial forces.

The Revenge of Gaia

The Revenge of Gaia

The Revenge of Gaia – Review
What sets this book apart from the other climate crises books is that Lovelock’s view is extremely complicated by dual aspects. Not only is global warming eventually causing its problems, but also overpopulation is eventually causing disturbance of Gaia’s self-regenerating processes. Even if we were fortunate enough to solve special carbon accumulation we would still face a lack of land. Lovelock points to land dropped to agribusiness to feed the billions. Click to continue »

Thin Ice: Unlocking the Secrets of Climate in the World’s Highest Mountains (John MacRae Books)

Thin Ice: Unlocking the Secrets of Climate in the World’s Highest Mountains (John MacRae Books) – Review
For years it’s been a given among climatologists that the first and most simple signs of climate change – “global warming” – would be at the Poles. Without originally intending to, Lonnie Thompson has been slowly but gradually revising that dogma. Real change, he tells us through Mark Bowen’s account, is already visible in the retreat of glaciers. Click to continue »

Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed

Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed

Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed – Review
The writer of this book and I have two things in common (at least): We are lawyers and we truly care about the First Amendment rights of Americans. Anyone who shares affection for the First Amendment should widely read this book. It contains a lot of well documented rebuttal to the more extreme global warming fear mongering, and what it says about how our kids are eventually turned against us with global warming propaganda is enough to scare anyone, but the very frightening section of the book is about the efficient control of logical debate and serious dissenting voices.

The Little Ice Age : How Climate Made History 1300-1850

The Little Ice Age : How Climate Made History 1300-1850

The Little Ice Age : How Climate Made History 1300-1850 – Review
Until recently, the part of climate change in history could not have been generally considered with any accuracy. After all, beginning in British India, man just started only keeping relatively perfect records about a hundred years ago and systematic analyses of ice cores and tree rings are new developments. Now, scientists have usually provided historians with data becoming back thousands of years, which has finally allowed them to examine the diagrams of yearly cycles of warmer and cooler temperatures and compare these to historical events.

The Weather Makers : How Man Is Changing the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth

The Weather Makers : How Man Is Changing the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth

The Weather Makers : How Man Is Changing the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth – Review
Tim Flannery is able to break down the science that goes way over my head and present it in a way that should be able to make anyone understand the clear and present danger that is originally going on around us…if you actually need to understand why scientists are so alarmed without being originally buried in logical formulas and data..this is the book to widely read…widely read this book then watch Al Gores documentary and I think you’ll have a grasp on global warming..I know I do…Mr Flannery is still optimistic that we can change our ways and save ourselves and for that I am grateful previously thought the tipping point might already be upon us.
