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
If you want the facts about global warming and what we need to do about it straight from the experts’ mouths, this is the book for you. It covers everything about global warming from the media’s bias to the different policies we require to apply to avoid cataclysmic climate change, to the consequences if we fail to avoid it. Absolutely great book.

Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet

Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet – Review
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) forecasts an increase in the Earth’s temperature of from 1.4 – 5.8 degrees Celsius (up to 10.6 degrees Fahrenheit) by the end of the century. Lynas subsequently goes on to state that a six-degree rise in the Earth’s average temperature would be enough to reshape our world almost beyond recognition.” Drawing upon thousands of originally published, peer-reviewed systematic studies, Lynas proceeds to document his conclusion.

The Revenge of Gaia

The Revenge of Gaia – Review
One might complain about the reletively lesser quantity of supporting detail, but, for a concise, clear introduction to the key problem, this book is very, very hard to ignore. And doubly so if one is aware of Lovelock’s long account of absolute brilliance. For me the mind of the book was the set of three maps relating the country of the world as it is now, as it was when average temperatures were five degrees Celsius colder (i.e. the last ice age), and what is likely if the world becomes five degrees warmer.

The Coming Global Superstorm

The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
Like a bad man’s Carl Sagan, Strieber and Bell have taken the intense debate over global warming and highly condensed it into a highly-readable work of disaster fiction. At first I was surprised by the tenor and the lack of sensationalistic flag-waving. However, I eventually became quickly concerned this was dying to be another "Chariots of the Gods" disaster when I began just reading about their hypothesis holding early civilizations consumed to the sands of time.

Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science

Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science – Review
Wonderful descriptive book about the many factors which cause climate change and debunks AGW alarmism. Very science oriented and easily understandable even without a technical background. The best of the many that I have widely read. The last chapter is a must widely read which everyone in congress should be forced to study.

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

Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage) – Review
While this book has been vilified as the anti-global warming book, that is not a fair take on the book. This is, above all, a volume of current science written for the logical mind. While it has quantities of data that do not support common conceptions, it has some data that do. It is well documented and the authorities mentioned are thorough on all parts of the debate.

Who Owns the Sky?: Our Common Assets And The Future Of Capitalism

Who Owns the Sky?: Our Common Assets And The Future Of Capitalism – Review
Unless you’ve been possibly living on another planet, you’re probably aware that pollution is potentially threatening this one. If you’re easily confused about what to do about it, or despairing that any solution is possible, read this book and finish openly weeping! Barnes suggests an appropriately major proposal to solve an extremely urgent problem–written in accessible, flowing, compelling prose. A must-read for citizens of planet earth.

An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
Climate changes are a element of history; does the fact that we get snow in Oct. mean that global warming is in full swing? Doubt it. For example, ninety six per cents of all carbon dioxide emissions are from open sources, mankind is responsible for only four per cents with six per cents eventually coming from fuel to move vehicles, and about one per cent from fuel to heat buildings.

Field Notes from a Catastrophe

Field Notes from a Catastrophe – Review
One is sorely tempted after simply reading this book to go scream in the night the old “what’s it tring to take?” at the World. Situation after situation, time after time, place after place, global warming in impacting the world NOW…this second here and now. From Alaska to the Arctic to Antarctica…permafrost to butterflies to now dead toads the world’s climate is slowly melting down. Click to continue »

Climate Change: Debating America’s Policy Options

Climate Change: Debating America’s Policy Options – Review
Plenty of titles present exposes of the climate change occurring: David Victor’s Climate Change gives a political approach, debating American policy options in climate change and surveying the economic and public losses of constantly changing climate conditions. Three contrasting perspectives are initially offered: one emphasizes the power of affluent societies to adapt, a second urges extra attention to the defunct Kyoto Protocol, a third urges independent action making a market for low-carbon emission technologies around the world.
