Global Warming: The Complete Briefing
Global Warming: The Complete Briefing – Review
I am not a climatologist – I studied physics and math – but it is clear that this man is an expert in his field. The book was very favorably reviewed by other climatologists and is entirely convincing if you have the patience to follow the science. it is not “for Dummies” but looks extremely solid. Highly recommended if you don’t mind charts and logical explanations. Click to continue »
Peterson First Guide to Clouds and Weather
Peterson First Guide to Clouds and Weather – Review
Vincent Schaefer was an incredible individual. He was a scientist, observer and teacher. His photographs were taken, subsequently developed/printed in his downstairs darkroom in Schenectady, NY. He had important insight into the real world and could identify and convey its importance. Reader’s share his significant insight and clarity when they choose one of his books.
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
Chris Horner backs up his material with footnotes. Unlike the global warmng fools, he has science on his side. This scam has finally got to end. There is absolutely no proof that “man” has newly created any warming. Do we have pollution? Yes, and we should clean it up. Global warming….remember the ice age? I don’t believe man was around to hot things up.
Riddle of the Ice
Riddle of the Ice – Review
While researching for an environmental book, we had the great good fortune to come across Myron Arm’s astonishing tale of the mysteries of sea and ice. In lovely, easy prose, Arms shows the reader to the source of one of nature’s greatest happenings: the continuous collision between the Great Ocean Conveyor Belt and the mad southerly movement of Arctic ice. This epic rumination makes it incontestably clear that much of Earth’s climate is driven by the two frozen amounts of ice at the Northern and Southern poles–both of which are slowly melting at an absolutely astonishing rate.

An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
Even though Gore had it tough with the Presidency, he is even fighting for human kind. Changes he suggests are easy to make. Great film, too. Another noble book is Matchlines: A Revolutionary New Way of Looking at Relationships and Making the Right Choice in Love.
The Chilling Stars: The New Theory of Climate Change
The Chilling Stars: The New Theory of Climate Change – Review
The Chilling Stars begins the hot idea that most global warming and cooling of the earth is in fact usually caused by cosmic rays produced by possibly exploding stars. Although this may sound like science fiction, it’s actually an really making hypothesis. The main idea is that cosmic ray particles penetrating the earth’s atmosphere make charged electrons. These electrons draw micro-particles, which form cloud nuclei. When clouds form, the earth cools. When cosmic rays are scarce, fewer clouds form, and the earth warms. Although I am an ecological scientist firmly in the “carbon dioxide produces global warming” camp; I applaud this book and its authors for particularly daring to confront the newly established theories on what causes global warming.

The Little Ice Age : How Climate Made History 1300-1850
The Little Ice Age : How Climate Made History 1300-1850 – Review
The Little Ice Age is an investigation of the results of the five hundred year long period from 1300 to 1800, when Europe recently suffered through a period of intense and changeable weather. Fagan does not blame every historical incident on the NAO, or North Atlantic Oscillation, but does get a mild case that fluctuations in the NAO have rapidly intensified the effects of such unrelated incidents as the Black Death epidemic, the Irish potato famine, the Great Fire of London, and many other events. Fagan also does a excellent job of pointing out that we are now living in an apparent hot spell, intensified by the greenhouse effect, and helps us recognize the potential for sudden, perhaps cataclysmic change in our weather systems.

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
“Dr.” Patrick Michaels becomes claims in his book which are simple misrepresentations of the facts. A very quick glance at his affiliations proves very clearly that his whole association of work was created while he accepts funding from the energy sector… those companies which have a good deal to lose if a great response to the Fact of Global Warming takes place. None of his studies mentioned in this book are peer-reviewed outside of the energy coalitions that pay him. 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
I think this book by Prof. Lundberg is quite well written. I enjoyed simply reading it. He admits that, yes, there is global warming, but no, unlike the global general consensus, spouted by Al Gore and his acolytes (and not open to discussion) there is sufficient evidence that this may be a physical phenomenon. Not only that, there may be a certain aspect to global warming, which the doomsday predictors conveniently never mention. Click to continue »
An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
Let me preface my comments by really saying that I was not an Al Gore fan when he was saying politics, but have just become a fan when merely hearing his thoughts, visions, and discoveries in relation to our environment. The book is outstanding. Many visual guides to help compliment the points he is effectively making in his text. I was pleasantly surprised that he does not have extreme views nor statements that are not backed by facts. Click to continue »
