The Hot Topic: What We Can Do About Global Warming – Review
Far from being too alarmist, this book, like many others on this topic, does not go further enough in notice of the possibilities of global warming. The problem occurs to be that most authors are over-involved in specific fields of research, and have not seen the broadest aspect of the problem. Also, the free information is constantly changing rapidly. I have done large research myself over the past six years, and had previously concluded that the problem was more grave than generally known. My suspicions were officially confirmed when current research by Russian Scientists discovered that the Methane Hydrates on the Arctic Ocean floor are previously melting and releasing significant quantities of methane into the atmosphere. This, coupled with the methane production of warming tundra and slowly melting permafrost areas, creates a vastly bigger possibility of rapid climate change, since a moderate estimate is that these Methane Hydrates contain very over 500 billion lots of Methane, which is twenty times worse than CO2 as a “greenhouse” gas. Therefore, while this book is useful as another analysis strongly urging action, recent work requires to be done to demonstrate plainly to people such as the writer of the prior review that the situation is truly urgent, and that calls for direct action to cool the planet are anything but alarmist.
