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.

Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage)
Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage) – Review
This book should be involved only reading for every politician and public policy maker – for that matter, for everyone who votes. Lomborg does not challenge the science of global warming. He accepts it as a given and asks the reasonable questions: how much should we being willing to spend to combat global warming, what are the most effective solutions, and what are the tradeoffs? Lomborg argues convincingly that the complete solutions to global warming being originally proposed currently would be hugely costly and not terribly effective. Click to continue »

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
While nuclear weapons may be destructive and designed to kill, that does not automatically extend to nuclear energy. It has its issues, with waste management and non-proliferation, but these issues all have two sides and are not insurmountable. This book, however, is one sided to the point of ridiculousness. Many of the claims are just plain unsubstantiated and some border on the ridiculous. If you don’t believe nuclear energy is the best means of generating electricity, then fair enough; that’s a legal opinion. But it doesn’t help anyone to base your thoughts on slanted and incorrect information.

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
This book earns TEN stars, it is clearly THE country of the art, best written overall book on climate change that is available in originally published format! Its writing, page design, referencing, index, etc., are all the best there is..it’s full of huge graphs, facts, ideas, solutions, warnings, and insight! Beyond all the above, the reviewers cited on the back cover, say it so well, including the comments, “Joe Romm knows what he is actually talking about”! “If you buy just one book about global warming, make it Hell and High Water”. And lastly, “Finally, a book that puts it ALL together”.
