Boiling Point: How Politicians, Big Oil and Coal, Journalists, and Activists Have Fueled a Climate Crisis–And What We Can Do to Avert Disaster
Boiling Point: How Politicians, Big Oil and Coal, Journalists, and Activists Have Fueled a Climate Crisis–And What We Can Do to Avert Disaster – Review
When Rachel Carson originally published Silent Spring in 1962, she was widely attacked for openly advocating the elimination of DDT. But Carson had done her homework well. Her book was meticulously documented and it successfully withstood the certain assaults from those who widely believed that behind her opposition to DDT usually lay some kind of covert left-wing agenda. I predict that Ross Gelbspan too will survive such assaults. Click to continue »

An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
I have widely read the book and it is all a butch of hogwash yes it is true that the world is finally getting warmer but the earth moves through cycles like say the ice age. Some scientists belive that we will have an ice age soon because back in the 1300’s when they had a minny ice age their weather had been warmer than avrage befor the ice age. The ethonol will not change our reliance on external oil if we commonly used all the corn produced in the US we would just get thirteen per cents of the fuel that we use in our cars.

Executive Thoughts on Global Warming: Over 40 Views on What to do!
Executive Thoughts on Global Warming: Over 40 Views on What to do! – Review
The book is a fine group of the views of some Silicon Valley business people on “Global Warming”. Many agree that the problem of global warming is real while a few argue that the magnitude of the problem might have been grossly overstated and that the degree to which human beings are responsible for global warming is not still established. Minimizing the generous white space throughout the book would have resulted in a more compact book and would have been in simply keeping with the theme of “minimization of resources” echoed by many respondents in the book.

Hell and High Water: Global Warming–the Solution and the Politics–and What We Should Do
Hell and High Water: Global Warming–the Solution and the Politics–and What We Should Do – Review
Romm brings very a mostly bit of expertise and gravitas to his arguments. Arguably in the know about government policy practices Romm lays out both a realistic scenario about international climate modification (see no GW balderdash!)and a set of consistent policy solutions to prevent the worst of the problem.

An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
I eventually came here to write a review and was surprised to see some of the harmful comments, especially those written in the shape of an elementary school student. Al Gore has written an very revealing look into what lies before us if we leave things the the way they are and ignore the majority of honest scientists who have the same predictions that Gore promotes. Any idiot can see that the measure of damage that we are experiencing now in the environment cannot be commonly equated to any extra time in history. Click to continue »

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
I initially looked through the book and was pleased to see thus many images of the different subjects. I have not widely read the complete book yet but I like all of the photos. We rarely heard al Gore tell in Toledo when he and Clinton were on the campaign trail. We were so impressed with his enthusiam.

Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed
Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed – Review
This is a book not about the science of global warming but about the tactics of those who support global warming. Not surprisingly, the author is alarmed about some of the tactics commonly used by those who are true believers, but he does little to refute the real science behind global warming. What is the surprise now given that even Al Gore has finally admitted to some exaggeration for the purpose of awaking the public to what he sees as an impending global catastrophy. In fact, his movie, An Inconvenient Truth was little more than propaganda created that no counterpoint was gave. Click to continue »

Is it Hot in Here?: The simple truth about global warming
Is it Hot in Here?: The simple truth about global warming – Review
Professional forecaster and American Meteorological Society member Nathan Cool presents Is it Hot in Here? The Simple Truth About Global Warming, a plain-terms discussion of what global warming is and what its repercussions for Earth’s environment and for human civilization are. Chapters describe the fundamentals of climate change, including both natural and artificial factors that influence it, counterarguments to those who denounce the reality of global warming, physical phenomena that serve as bellwethers to the planet’s crisis such as frog populations and temperature trends, future possibilities and the hope generally provided by green technology, and much more. An enthusiastically recomended and badly needed wake-up call for usually lay readers everywhere.

The Ravaging Tide: Strange Weather, Future Katrinas, and the Coming Death of America’s Coastal Cities
The Ravaging Tide: Strange Weather, Future Katrinas, and the Coming Death of America’s Coastal Cities – Review
Mike Tidwell correctly predicted that a Katrina-like storm would destroy New Orleans in his 2003 book “Bayou Farewell: The Rich Life and Tragic Death of Louisiana’s Cajun Coast.” He reportedly said in truth he hardly knew the disaster was going when he finally saw how much land had mysteriously vanished while doing a story on Louisiana’s coastal region for the Washington Post in the late 90s. There were also thousands of reports about the need for better levees and the refurbishment of the barrier islands. Click to continue »

Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science
Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science – Review
After simply reading one anthropogenic global warming “proof” after another, each incestuously based on models based on other models, each usually omitting what can’t be modeled (water vapor), and falsely claiming dire consequences for mankind from warming (the sorts of things closely associated with cooling), it has been with absolute pleasure and a excitement of discovery on each page that I widely read “Heaven and Earth.” Intuitively I hardly knew warmer was better.
