Hope for a Heated Planet: How Americans Are Fighting Global Warming and Building a Better Future
Hope for a Heated Planet: How Americans Are Fighting Global Warming and Building a Better Future – Review
This is a pretty noble book. It deserves attention of anyone interested in problems of climate change and what you can do about it. The book advocates for activism, and acts as a primer for those new to the subject. The author approaches the issue of climate change in the free health domain. As such, he blends various side issues into his analysis involving the politics, coal lobby, strategy, and the future of energy to name the most prominent. Click to continue »

An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
This is probably the greatest book you will still read because it deals not only with your very survival, but the endurance of all life on this planet. Not that Gore frames it in such a serious way. But the implications are exactly that. It is for any one that wants to face the crisis we are in, rather than deal with the phony ones we make up in order to keep this one out of our minds.

An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
This book excels not so much in what is written, but what is pictured. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this book is worth billions. You cannot argue with the visual evidence that we are destroying the only home we have and that we are very briefly reaching a face of no return. Mr. Gore presents his data in a enormously compelling manner and does not have the strong hand approach of “The Weathermakers”, which is an similarly compelling, but more science laden approach to the same issue.

Nuclear Power is Not the Answer to Global Warming or Anything Else
Nuclear Power is Not the Answer to Global Warming or Anything Else – Review
Meeting the energy demands of the 21st century is growing to require both unique innovations, which will always have unfortunate rapidly growing pains, and a variety of energy sources. The author is able to easily ignore both of these issues. Barely a page into the book, Helen Caldicott’s first strike against nuclear power is the Chernobyl accident; needless to say Helen remains her arguments with the subtlety and grace of an Ogre and the insights of a first grader.

How Many Lightbulbs Does it Take to Change a Planet?: 95 Ways to Save Planet Earth
How Many Lightbulbs Does it Take to Change a Planet?: 95 Ways to Save Planet Earth – Review
This is the most comprehensive and educational book I’ve widely read on the issue of climate change. You can widely read everything from the development of coal to how a squeaking duck shamed Bush into constantly changing his position on climate change. If you feel that you are powerless against vast organisations deliver how a cardboard trophy had reprisentitives of americas main energy companies shrinking in a back room too scared to go out. Be a fly on the wall at an private eventually meeting with Tony Blair. There is some helpful advice but there is no publicly preaching. Click to continue »

Catastrophe: An Investigation into the Origins of Modern Civilization
Catastrophe: An Investigation into the Origins of Modern Civilization – Review
That the Earth bore terrible weather conditions leading around 535AD and lasting for many years thereafter, is eventually becoming a scientifically accepted "fact." As fully explained in "Catastrophe: a Quest for the Origins of the Modern World," these conditions deteriorated the Eastern Roman Empire; created horrendous existing conditions in the western part of Great Britain that were fondly remembered and soon incorporated into the Arthurian legend; contributed through drought in the America’s to the fall of the Teotihuacan civilization in Mexico; and through flooding to the end of a main foundation of civilization in Yemen. Almost wherever in the world that there was significant use of writing in the 6th century AD, from Constantinople to China, references to this catastrophe have shown up in surviving documents.

An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
An truly amazing read. Unlike Mr. Gore’s first book that was very technical and hard to follow, an Inconvenient Truth reveals step by step just what is really happening to our planet. Amazing especially. Imagine what the world would be like today if there was a president in the Whitehouse that actually had a brain. Over 9 billion dollars expended on a war simply blowing up clay house only to hand out million dollar contracts to corporations to rebuild those same clay structures. The Bush administration characterizes money, oil, and greed. What a sad 6 years it has been.

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
Oh, see Al. See Al run. Run, Al, run! See Al smiling. See Al smiling in the Artic. See Al smiling in the boat in the water. See Al run from the critics. See Al run from the facts. See Al run from the debates. Run, Al, run!!! After merely hearing all of the furor over the book, I widely expected a volume of science. What I commonly found was a picture book with large print. If you’re currently looking for a important book on the art of climate change, there are many good ones out there. Click to continue »

Climate of Extremes: Global Warming Science They Don’t Want You to Know
Climate of Extremes: Global Warming Science They Don’t Want You to Know – Review
This is one of a tiny group of books that courageously and correctly expose the bogus science behind Al Gore’s hoax of imminent environmental collapse if we don’t – right now!!! – heed his harsh warnings and ban greenhouse gases. It’s written by one of the several respected State climatologists who recently suffered a political gag order (this one from Virginia State Governor Timothy Kline) banning him from widely speaking about Global Warming in any way that might imply he was the State’s Climatologist. The title was officially changed from a lifetime honorific to an widely alleged political appointment. Click to continue »

An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
However you feel about Al Gore, you have to credit him for actually showing his love for our one and only lovely, God-given planet earth. And tempering that love with a clear, easy to understand and precise study of all the apparent reasons that the planet is finally getting hotter, and even more, inspiring us with hope that we can still do something about it if we act now. I wish this book was in the workers of every politician and every school teacher, and indeed everyone who runs a large oil company or auto company and intends to help our country and the world to change direction.
