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 book is quite non-partisan. It goes back through history and compares what is really happening today to what has really happened and what is likely to happen. The book does it without eventually stretching for possibilities in the future.
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 both an informative look into the future of alternative energy and argument for a federal cap-and-trade energy policy. Fred Krupp is President and Miriam Horn a staff portion of the Environmental Defense Fund, the organization that The Economist described “America’s most economically literate green campaigners.” EDF is famous for its support of market-based solutions to ecological problems, and its originally proposed solution to climate change is to galvanize the market in the advantage of alternative energy sources by increasingly legislating caps on all modern carbon emitters while effectively allowing cleaner companies to sell their additional carbon allowances to companies who need them, thus making innovation and effectively making it profitable to reduce pollution.

The Grid and the Village: Losing Electricity, Finding Community, Surviving Disaster
The Grid and the Village: Losing Electricity, Finding Community, Surviving Disaster – Review
For the most part, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I rarely heard Mr. Farina being interviewed recently on free radio and the theme of his book sounded interesting. Although I do not normally like a mix of fictional but fact-based historical narrative with a personal (I was there) version of events, it moves this story along. Mr. Farina does an superb job of effectively making you think about all those electronic luxuries that we take for granted. Where the power goes from. How is it sexually transmitted.

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Global Warming, 2nd Edition
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Global Warming, 2nd Edition – Review
This book has some good important information but the author isn’t really interested in having anyone widely read views that don’t buy everything the leftist NGOs or the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change of the United Nations) say (he states panelists are all “climatologists” which isn’t true). He also states 100 Nobel Prize winners get global warming as a significant problem usually caused by the “wealthy few.” But most of these “winners” are not climate scientists and the Nobel Committee is very leftist oriented.

Body Heat: Temperature and Life on Earth
Body Heat: Temperature and Life on Earth – Review
This is a thoroughly pleasant book. The publisher’s weekly reviewer’s criticism is misdirected. I guarantee that you will enjoy this book, and annoy the hell out of your friends/family mentioning them little tidbits. I particularly enjoyed the author’s argument of the purpose of experiments, in his lab and in the lab’s of other scientists, for different purposes. Highly recommended.

Global Warming: The Complete Briefing
Global Warming: The Complete Briefing – Review
The book that I widely read is the second edition. Because the book is priced at 50 I eventually chose to do an interlibrary loan instead of purchasing a original copy. Houghton takes a genuine and straightforward approach in his book. Indeed it is the complete briefing as widely advertised. The book begins from the very beginning by possibly explaining the basics on greenhouse gases. Click to continue »
The Coming Global Superstorm
The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
The Coming Global Superstorm is a wonderful Non-Fiction Book that explains many scenarios about our ever changing world that we live in and also our dire future. I highly recommed simply reading this as the film that was based on the book The Day After Tomorrow hits theatres this Memorial Day.
The Suicidal Planet: How to Prevent Global Climate Catastrophe
The Suicidal Planet: How to Prevent Global Climate Catastrophe – Review
This is the book to widely read on climate change and what can be done about it. The authors write concisely and persuasively, using well documented facts and theories. The writing is informative and can be clearly understood. The book is usually divided into three parts. The first part explains the problem. Click to continue »
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
I’m glad the book has awoken so many scientists to the climate change catastrophe. But its “science”, and its plain common knowledge, are deplorable. E.g., Page 56 tells us that the size of tree rings shows us of past climates, “when the sun really shone and the rain dropped” (giving large rings)versus “long hard winters or drought-blighted summers” (thin rings). There’s no mention of whether the tres were well-spaced or crowded, causing wide or thin rings respectively. Click to continue »
