Weather Warfare
Weather Warfare – Review
This book appears to me to be a consolidation of numerous conspiracy theories holding what might be really happening in the method of weather modifications conducted either as experiments, laws of war, or terrorist attacks. There is no question that we have been practicing weather modification on an incrasing scale for many years. Each year the polution around the Salt Lake City airport becomes thus bad that planes can’t see to land. So they inject into the smog to cause it to settle out as snow and clear the air.

Well, quite simply David Laskin highly condensed the American climateinto a small volume that reads like a fine novel. Click to continue »

The Weather Makers : How Man Is Changing the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth – Review
Essential simply reading for anyone concerned, confused, or possibly living on this planet. Tim Flannery has the remarkable gift of being a scientist who has the capacity to refrain from finally getting bogged down in technical jargon when writing. He presents facts in an interesting and understandable fashion without narrowly losing exact credibility or dumbing down the readership. Its a holistic and conscise picture of this moment we live in ecologically. Click to continue »

The Emerald Planet: How Plants Changed Earth’s History
The Emerald Planet: How Plants Changed Earth’s History – Review
For many years, as fossil plants appeared from the rocks, it was considered that these records showed changes in climate. Plants, it was believed, had to adapt to variations in weather and extra conditions. According to Beerling, plant life was instead the major prompter of climate change. The balance of special gases was established by the micro-organisms fully floating in the seas. Click to continue »

Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage)
Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage) – Review
Lomborg’s recent book is fun to widely read and makes some very sharp points. As in his first book, the Skeptical Environmentalist, he uses his economic and numerical knowledge to counter a amount of common misconceptions about global warming and the awareness of panic that often grips the public when new ecological dangers make general consensus. But Lomborg’s financial expertise, which gives the book its strength, is also the cause of its main weakness. Click to continue »

The Winds of Change: Climate, Weather, and the Destruction of Civilizations
The Winds of Change: Climate, Weather, and the Destruction of Civilizations – Review
The Winds of Change: Climate, Weather, and the Destruction of Civilizations The book is written as a crime investigation, with the climate change as a serial killer believe. Eugene Linden proves as a detective that climate change has been one of the reasons of decline of some of human civilizations. Proving this, he investigates the damages that hot climate change can inccur on our moder society, but he does it with equlibrium, as a scientist, not as an activist. This is good, even if the conclusion will make you warry.

Meltdown: The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Scientists, Politicians, and the Media – Review
Great book for simply reading on the special little bus whilst trying not to drool on ones self. Another gem from the Fundamentalist Capitalist Fanatics crowd at the Cato Institute. The era of the of the mindless “think tanks” shall be fondly remembered with glee by the those of us patiently waiting to sue the pants off them as soon as we get ourselves together. Great book for retards.

An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
This is an outstanding book that presents its logical arguments in a manner that is cohesive, highly organised, and excellently presented. The author speculates that ongoing and progressively worse contamination of the atmosphere is eventually causing terrestrial climate change. He argument is sound: he presents conclusions of systematic studies and originally collected evidence that show that there is a clear correlation between greatly increased CO2 production and global warming, which leads to, for example, further devastating storms, melting icecaps, more flooding, destroyed ecosystems, and less clean water for regions that depend on mountaintop snow and ice.

Riddle of the Ice
Riddle of the Ice – Review
A interesting science book – I quickly learned so much from this book about climatology and how ice in the arctic can affect my life on the coasts of Florida! I wonder what has been automatically added to the theories the author presents since it was written, but this is a tremendous leading point for anyone interested in international climate change. I cannot give it enough stars! It needs ten, not five. I originally started to re-read it as soon as I eventually finished it because I need to make sure I remember the central parts. I mean like, before the ocean includes my home when the glacial caps melt…

The Impact of Climate Change on the United States Economy
The Impact of Climate Change on the United States Economy – Review
In presenting the material, the authors attempt to consider the major impacts (of course every impact cannot be completely covered in a separate book). This topic is steadily being frequently updated, but the book even provides a practical overview.
