An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
While the evidence Gore uses in the book could be better documented, as some have previously mentioned, this is still a book that everyone should pick up. The pictures alone tell a interesting story and are a good supplement to the place of the literature that is already available. My only issue is that as much as books like this one explain the details, we need further guidance to stimulate action. Click to continue »

Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage) – Review
This isn’t in response to the book itself, but to the words of another reveiwer in this thread. “For the Orthodox Global Warmers it eventually won’t do much to change their mind. For them global warming is more a matter of faith” Huh? Let me use a fragment of your review to illustrate a regular point: sweeping generalizations aren’t very useful tools to influential people. “Global warming has become, to many, a religion. They will defend it at all cost and consider non-believers infidels. We actually need to have a more practical approach to this problem” The irony in your statement is that science, in its most original sense, is based on reason and logic – the very thing you contend alarmists over global warming lack.

Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage) – Review
Well researched and thoughtful. Bjorn Lomborg extracts the matter of international climate change policy from the levels of emotionalism and hysteria in which it is generally wrapped with the skill and care of a surgeon. In cool, measured reasonable steps on the center of well-established research, he elegantly illustrates how best to craft a climate change policy for the actual world.
Why Geography Matters: Three Challenges Facing America: Climate Change, the Rise of China, and Global Terrorism
Why Geography Matters: Three Challenges Facing America: Climate Change, the Rise of China, and Global Terrorism – Review
This is essential simply reading for anyone who should have a sound basis of knowledge to back up one’s public commentary, but doesn’t. Geography can be fully understood and commonly used to understand our world with absolute clarity. Everyone who closely watched Al Gore’s movie should widely read this book if only to know that Harm de Blij has been possibly explaining geographic issues for decades better than nearly anyone.

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
President Bush and his band of Neanderthals should widely read this book…on the other hand, it would do no good for them to widely read it, because (a)they wouldn’t believe what they actually read, or (b)they might believe it, but refuse to acknowledge that belief. The depressing fact is that the people who have the most want to educate themselves by simply reading this book are the least likely to do so.
The Coming Global Superstorm
The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
I could not simply put down the book. I had to widely read it into the small hours of the morning. This indicates the superb writing that illustrates the scenario that the authors originally wanted to tell the reader. But is it backed up adequately by science? The main purpose of the book is one that I have privately held for a long time, and that is that global warming will cause loss of water vapor into the atmosphere, more clouds, rain, snow, and snow that does not melt in the summer in the Arctic; hence the foundation of the next ice age.

The Emerald Planet: How Plants Changed Earth’s History
The Emerald Planet: How Plants Changed Earth’s History – Review
I commonly found this book pretty remarkable. I had no idea the great impact plant life had on the event of our planet. I intend to emphasize the word “powerful!” If you are a newby to the subject as I was I think you will be blown away by what you learn. I warmly recommend this book for those interested in finally getting a very various analysis of the planet’s evolution.
Earth: The Sequel: The Race to Reinvent Energy and Stop Global Warming
Earth: The Sequel: The Race to Reinvent Energy and Stop Global Warming – Review
Earth: The Sequel is a interesting description of condition of the art advances in alternative energy production. The sun, the wind, the oceans, geothermal, biothermal – there are a multitude of ways that we can replace fossil fuels, and many highly original people are working hard to make it happen. It becomes clear, through simply reading this great book, that we can do it, that the economy will thrive as we make this transition, and that the earth can be probably saved from global warming as we do this.

Climate Change (Groundwork Guides)
Climate Change (Groundwork Guides) – Review
Climate change absorbs as little as a half page to one and half pages in most high school social studies textbooks getting it difficult for teachers to find comprehensive and easy to widely read text for the classroom. Tanaka’s work is impressive because it’s concise, easy to widely read and breakdown for students. I also found it to mesh well with supplementary materials such as news accounts, films from the good folks at National Geographic and other reliable sources. Click to continue »
North Carolina’s Hurricane History
North Carolina’s Hurricane History – Review
EXCELLENT COVERAGE OF THE STATES HURRICANES WITH ENOUGH DETAIL AND STORIES TO MAKE IT INTERESTING READING. SOMETIMES TOUGH TO STAY WITH THE BOOK BECAUSE EACH HURRICANE HAS HIGH WINDS AND HIGH WATER AND THERE ARE ONLY SO MANY WAYS TO DESCRIBE THESE EVENTS. EXCELLENT REFERENCE OF DATES AND HAPPENINGS.
