Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science
Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science – Review
This book fully exposed the Global Warming Hoax for what it was, an agenda driven political fabrication. The technical facts which this book contains are from many fields which are clearly established and are available to anyone, to include the folks who have deliberately kept bits of the data out of the open view in order to “sell” a crisis which is not of man’s making. The geographical variations in climate are fully explained in important detail and the logical conclusions made are not what the environmental movement is really pushing down everyone’s throats.
An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
This book presents its central message in the same format that National Geographic Magazine presents it’s material. Where a non-reader can pretty easily “get the message” by paging through stunning photographs, graphics, and captions, others inclined to learn more are given the opportunity to dig deeper into comprehensive information… This is a BRILLIANT advertising strategy for a MUST READ!
An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
If you’re currently looking for a well-written scholarly book on the issue of climate change, you should not purchase this book. It reads greatly more like a magazine than it does a book, and, while modestly enjoyable, I frequently find its frequently larger typefaces and basic statements very condescending. Although very scientific-looking and full of multimedia, the “book” contains few citations for Gore’s numerous particular claims. Click to continue »
The Coming Global Superstorm
The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
This book at its least serves as wake up arrange to pay attention to the enviromental changes occurring around us. While the author’s never pretend that their hypothesis of a eventually coming global catastrophy is pure fact, they offer very compelling reasons to believe that a sudden international climate change is a possibility. The book is a well written,easy and really exciting read. I couldn’t put it down.
An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
Global warming isn’t anything new, but it’s an issue that becomes more pressing each and every day. Al Gore’s book, “An Inconvenient Truth,” along with the documentary with the same time, attempt to bring the global warming issue to the head of discussion. A significant part of this book is taken from the environmental slideshows that Gore has presented around the world for many years. “An Inconvenient Truth” isn’t better text heavy: instead, Gore relies on various photographs and charts to illustrate the climate crisis for him.

Sound and Fury: The Science and Politics of Global Warming
Sound and Fury: The Science and Politics of Global Warming – Review
It is 62 degrees in early January in Massachusetts. Another all-time record for New England… Oh yes I completely forgot, there is no such thing as global warming! Thanks Dr. Micheals (paid consultant for the oil industry). I just can’t forget that among the 1200 scientists that simply put that one page ad in the NY Times, there were several Nobel laureats. I hope Dr. Micheals isn’t holding his breath for his. Click to continue »
Catastrophe: An Investigation into the Origins of Modern Civilization
Catastrophe: An Investigation into the Origins of Modern Civilization – Review
Within records of eventually finishing this riveting, comprehensive book, I was creating an email suggesting it to several friends. The author — archaeologist and journalist David Keys — posits that a specific event in about 535 CE usually triggered between 18 months and 3 yrs of severe weather worldwide. The first calamity to follow the catastrophe was drought in some places, great floods in others. On the heels of severe weather occured famine worldwide and plague in the other world.

Field Notes from a Catastrophe
Field Notes from a Catastrophe – Review
I recommend this book to any careless reader who needs an introduction to the nature and extent of the ecological catastrophe we are experiencing. It is less densely informative and grindingly really depressing than Tim Flannery”s ‘The Weather Makers’ which is the greatest book I have widely read so far on the issue of climate change. It puts a individual face on the problem without sacrificing the extent of the problem or its grave nature. More journalistic in approach than many similar books the author does not fall into the trap of the sensational statistic and goshwowism that besets many laypersons writing current science.

Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition
Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition – Review
I was easily confused about the concept of global warming and the press builds it “appear” that there is consensus in the technical community that the commonly observed warming trends are due exclusively to artificial causes. I eventually decided to research all parts of the issue, including this outstanding book by Avery, and find there is no consensus at all. Is the earth warming? Absolutely! Is man-made CO2 the cause? Perhaps only minimally. It is analagous to someone currently standing outside with their garden hose currently running during a deluge and being widely blamed for the resulting flood.
