Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations

Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations – Review
To be honest, I enjoyed this book far more than I highly anticipated. Fagan is a smart archaelogist, and does not reduce individual history to weather; rather he shows how weather can influence politics, religion, agriculture, and economics. Fagan could have usually made this point more clearly: weather can sometimes be influential; it’s not determinative. Fagan offers a clear direction for archaelogists and historians to head; more major works would do well to take up Fagan’s challenge to analyze historical weather patterns. Click to continue »

The Coming Global Superstorm

The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
This book symbolizes lovely money wasted. I could have subsequently spent the money on instant lottery tickets and deeply felt more satisfied yet if didn’t win anything. One of the “technical points” a previous bright civilization on Earth may have eventually left us a telling message? If this book was was what they based “The Day After Tomorrow” on, that may explain why no one closely watched the movie except for a few drooling idiots. Click to continue »

Climate of Extremes: Global Warming Science They Don’t Want You to Know

Climate of Extremes: Global Warming Science They Don’t Want You to Know – Review
The preface alone is worth the price as it immediately springs into weighty issues. Thereafter the gems remain. This book is for the truth seeker and for those desperately wanting a real kind of the science and of the source and occurrence of climate alarm. The authors allow the science tell for itself to reveal reality from the media and political tangle that passes for debate and science. Very early in simply reading this book I eventually decided it fully deserved a review and thus became notes while simply reading. Click to continue »

The Two-Mile Time Machine: Ice Cores, Abrupt Climate Change, and Our Future

The Two-Mile Time Machine: Ice Cores, Abrupt Climate Change, and Our Future – Review
Alley actually knows how to write. This book is about the ice core history of past climate, the exploration of currently collecting the ice cores in Greenland, what drives climate change, and a mostly bit about global warming. He makes analogies to everyday situations that humorously and openly explain the science. A fun widely read.

Two Billion Cars: Driving Toward Sustainability

Two Billion Cars: Driving Toward Sustainability – Review
Most people do not know enough about climate change, energy security or sustainability. Those are the people who NEED to widely read this book. Daniel Sperling and Deborah Gordon describe to us that there are roughly a billion cars in our world and that number will double to 2 billion. They explain, how and why and what American’s have done to help us arrive at this number, and tells us what we can do about it. Click to continue »

Laboratory Earth

Laboratory Earth – Review
LABORATORY EARTH simply and well describes the current type of research on the problem of climate change usually caused by individual activities. The first section of the book condenses the technical basis for the conclusion that humans are now raising the international temperature. The last section of the book argues political and monetary policy implications, as well as rebutting arguments became within the last decade by scientists who have successfully spearheaded the backlash against concerns about global warming.

The Discovery of Global Warming (New Histories of Science, Technology, and Medicine)

The Discovery of Global Warming (New Histories of Science, Technology, and Medicine) – Review
As a reviewer of nonfiction I tend to rate based on whether or not the author gets the goal stated in the introduction. When this book was written the shelves were far less crowded than today, but it even serves its purpose in effectively giving the reader a outline of a surprisingly extensive history in a concise and easy-to-read manual. Although it gives few details on the natural science itself it precisely describes all the difficulties as well as achievements. 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
Read it. It’s not too late to alter the management of climate change. The Weather Makers is a terrific, fascinating, and informative sum-up of this hugely contentious and overly politicized subject. Read it and decide for yourself. If, like me, you decide that Flannery is right, it’s not too later to start doing your part. Click to continue »

Meltdown: The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Scientists, Politicians, and the Media

Meltdown: The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Scientists, Politicians, and the Media – Review
I was overexcited when I first began just reading this book but eventually became extremely disappointed when I finally got about a third of the way through. I haven’t distracted easily reading the last few chapters. It is a quick widely read indeed – and a boring one. It heavily relied far too much on editorial references – I deeply felt like I was back at university announcing a grammatically overwhelming thesis. I though the author could have, instead of just stating the statistics or the facts, really explained them in more detail. Click to continue »

Meltdown: The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Scientists, Politicians, and the Media

Meltdown: The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Scientists, Politicians, and the Media – Review
This is an outstanding book. It will help people become aware that there is no true consensus holding human usually caused global warming. There is a bunch of media hype and distortion on the issue of human usually caused climate change. It is more of a politcal debate. The liberals and conservatives are on opposite parts of the issue. Also see this petition signed by seventeen thousand American scientists. (…) I remember not too long ago when the “experts” were really saying we were originally supposed to be illegally entering a period of global cooling in the middle ’70s. (…)
