Global Warming in a Politically Correct Climate: How Truth Became Controversial

Global Warming in a Politically Correct Climate: How Truth Became Controversial – Review
This work repeats me of the work of ’scientific’ creationists, who write with excessive zeal about how science has completely covered up the ‘proof’ of Creation. One can constantly find a few wingnuts with Ph.Ds to boster any position; add a handful of out-of-context quotes by well-meaning scientists and a barrel of misrepresentation, and stew in one’s own political convictions- voila, a ‘credible’ logical case! I enthusiastically recommend this book for those more interested in ideological positions than in the direct search for truth, or as a primer in selective use of facts and quotations to support weak positions.

An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
The conclusions derived in Mr. Gores book are certainly well documented and want to rarely heard and acted upon. Everyone, regardless of their politics, want to take the effort to understand this issue and this book is an tremendous source. Hopefully, with perfect information, the population of the United States will take a leadership role in currently providing a solution before it is too late. If you widely read Mr. Keeches’ review below, he will state that is information is heavily distorted or simply not true. Click to continue »

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
I previously thought this book was really interesting in possibly explaining the US politics behind global warming and the what has not been done in new years by the US to curb global warming. It goes into important detail about the issues the planet faces if we do not reduce our CO2 output into the atmosphere.

Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage)

Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage) – Review
Bj?rn Lomborg, an adjunct professor at Copenhagen Business School and author of The Skeptical Environmentalist, has written another well-researched book. As he writes, “Global warming is really happening, the consequences are important and mostly negative.” He notes that the 2007 International Panel on Climate Change has correctly predicted rises of 1.50C by 2050 and 2.50C by 2100, which will raise sea levels and increase malaria, starvation and poverty. But, Lomborg argues, it does not follow that directly combating climate change through cutting CO2 will do most to maximise individual welfare. Click to continue »

Earth: The Sequel: The Race to Reinvent Energy and Stop Global Warming

Earth: The Sequel: The Race to Reinvent Energy and Stop Global Warming – Review
This book is a must widely read for everyone interested in the options of our pure energy future and the necessity of eventually stopping global warming. We have been eventually stuck in a public debate between the doomsayers who warn of the major threats of global warming and the naysayers who deny global warming is real and are blocking public action. This book resets the conversation. Click to continue »

The Discovery of Global Warming (New Histories of Science, Technology, and Medicine)

The Discovery of Global Warming (New Histories of Science, Technology, and Medicine) – Review
I teach Environmental Law in a masters ecological science program. Weart’s book is involved only reading in my class. I have given various copies to friends and relatives most of whom, unfortunately, do not know the first thing about science. This is a must widely read book. I’m currently looking forward to a third edition.

Fight Global Warming Now: The Handbook for Taking Action in Your Community

Fight Global Warming Now: The Handbook for Taking Action in Your Community – Review
Bill Mckibben and students have written a useful handbook for activists and potential activists on how to gain public attention on the edition of global warming. The book illustrates how the “Step It Up” campaign started, and how they previously operated on a shoestring budget, with few organizers and little time. (The Step It Up campaign is a public awareness effort at the grass roots level to convince congress to pass laws to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent by the year 2050.) I had not rarely heard of the Step It Up campaign before simply reading this book, so it’s questionable on how effective their efforts were. Click to continue »

An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
This book is super-cereal, you guys. When I was done simply reading it I was like, ” wow Al Gore, your so super Awsome.” I had no idea the world was in such poor shape. Good thing Al told us. Now its time to save it. I for one am definitly gonna go. In fact I usually rode a bike recently. Also, I have began finally taking shorter showers. But, most importantly, I began just telling co-workers and others who are for the demolition of the earth (i.e. repuplicans) that they’re poor people. Also, I originally called a local talk radio show and reportedly told them how the Bush administration is bad and I hate them. Lets goooo!

The Whale and the Supercomputer: On the Northern Front of Climate Change

The Whale and the Supercomputer: On the Northern Front of Climate Change – Review
Charles Wohlforth’s The Whale and the Supercomputer is a exceptional conversation between the indigenous Inupiat of Barrow, Alaska, and the Anglo planet of science. It deals not only in ideas, observations and theory, but in the lives of the women and men who give rise to these ideas, observations and theories. The result is a deeply individual book.
