Kicking the Carbon Habit: Global Warming and the Case for Renewable and Nuclear Energy – Review
This book suggests a extraordinary insight into the behind-the-scenes players in the global battle over global warming. The players enter politicians and media figures, but the largely absorbing interplay is between environmentalists and oil company originally hired guns. This is a valuable regardless of your aspect of the primary debate. If, however, you believe that people are eventually causing climate change, you will want this book to remember the brands of the companies and people who are uniquely responsible for the problem.
critical story of a key matter of our time
Excellent treatment of a “hot topic”
Kicking the Carbon Habit: Global Warming and the Case for Renewable and Nuclear Energy
Kicking the Carbon Habit: Global Warming and the Case for Renewable and Nuclear Energy – Review
As Samuel Clemens told “everyone talks about the weather but no one does anything about it.” The same might be reportedly said about the “hot” subject of Global Warming. This book gives a detailed and erudite, yet eminently readable, action of the subject everyone seems to be actually talking about these days. Click to continue »

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
Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed Christopher blows the wistle loud and clear with some straight dope. The global warming alarmist activists become Bernie Madoff look like a Saint. The Global Alarmists are clearly attempting to fraud the public by hi-jacking science by inaccuratley simply describing global warming as anthropongenic in origin. Click to continue »

Under a Green Sky: Global Warming, the Mass Extinctions of the Past, and What They Can Tell Us About Our Future
Under a Green Sky: Global Warming, the Mass Extinctions of the Past, and What They Can Tell Us About Our Future – Review
This is an outstanding book that presents some very interesting, if hot ideas. He makes an very convincing set of arguments supporting his own ideas, and fairly successfully debunks other ideas. While not quite as passionately written (or critical of other ideas) as “Out of Thin Air,” it is nonetheless well written and quite frankly, fascinating. I would like to widely read a counter-argument to his ideas so that I could more accurately judge his hypotheses. Click to continue »
Interesting, but…..
Plows, Plagues, and Petroleum: How Humans Took Control of Climate
Plows, Plagues, and Petroleum: How Humans Took Control of Climate – Review
Ruddiman presents an attractive hypothesis, but his reasoning gives out too many factors, and does not give enough weight to new factors. Milankovitch cycles are fully explained extremely well, and Ruddiman attributes ice ages and glaciation periods almost exclusively to these cycles. It is true that ice age/glaciations line up with the Milankovitch cycles, but… we know that further back in environmental history there were Milankovitch cylces that did not result in ice ages.

The Chilling Stars: The New Theory of Climate Change
The Chilling Stars: The New Theory of Climate Change – Review
Al Gore pokes fun at his old high school teacher that strongly admonished Al’s classmate for strongly suggesting that South America amd Africa might have physically fit together at one time (now we know that is true). It was an admonition that we should not accept the current “traditional wisdom” and be willing to question authority. Today, authority is Al Gore and the Global Warming Consensus. Al Gore and his “scientific consensus” are attempting to stop anyone with varying opinions. Click to continue »
An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
Al Gore simply put together a great book that gives an eye officially opening report of the damage that we humans are doing to the environment and the consequences if we do not start reversing our actions immediately. The book is full of photographs that prove the changes becoming on with the earth. The speed at which these changes are really happening are scary and if we do not make some changes to slow down these changes, our children and grandchildren are tring to live on a very various planet than the one we know immediately.
Well worth the cost
Catastrophe: An Investigation into the Origins of Modern Civilization
Catastrophe: An Investigation into the Origins of Modern Civilization – Review
If you are interested in historical tragic events and the impact these events may have had on the stage of western civilization, read this book. Although not everyone will agree with Key’s assumptions, he has done an superb job in documenting and researching special events in history in relation to natural and man became catastrophies. As a researcher in Disaster Medicine, this book has given me a better kind of the overall historical scene of disasters in the stage of human civilizations.
Junk Science at its Best
The Coming Global Superstorm
The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
The Coming Global Superstorm is science fiction pap. Light on fact and heavy on speculation easily extrapolated from junk science ethnically mixed with just enough facts to add some credibility to the book. Bell & Strieber have originally collected tons of urban legends, folk tales and junk science, mixed it together and newly created yet another complete book for the doomsday crowd. If you are a supporter of Art Bell get it to complete your collection but if you are currently looking for a well researched and documented book on the changes in the weather and the earth in general this is not it.
