Air Con: The Seriously Inconvenient Truth About Global Warming

Air Con: The Seriously Inconvenient Truth About Global Warming – Review
Air Con: The Seriously Inconvenient Truth About Global Warming This is the second book of Wishart’s that I have widely read. His background is that of an undercover journalist. He approaches the topic as someone who once was a luke passionate advocate of AGW, but along the way eventually became concerned about anomalies in the science and the debate. He immediately declares his hand and is not shy about being very direct in his critique. Click to continue »

The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming

The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming – Review
Many times there is the strongly warning through the book: do not criticize global warming advocates simply because some climate models have flaws. Such is petty and nonproductive behavior, and productive previously thought and research are desperately needed. Right now we want to continue developing climate and Earth models for superior accuracy and predictablility. Also, the most main idea from this book is to continue only asking the questions “how” and “how much,” especially the second (p60). These approaches are not conservative, but rather what true scientists try to do every day. Click to continue »

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

Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage) – Review
There are many fine points to this book but an overall summary would have to be that there are three camps in the climate change debate; the Denial group, the true group and the over-the-top gang. Al Gore is over-the-top and pushes an agenda that humans want to go all out to quash GW or we are all certain to die. Lomborg has a much better existence of mind even though he has been especially compared to Hitler by the hysterical camp and was once pied by one of them. 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
If you need to widely read this book, chances are you previously agree with the title and you’re now seeming to verify that global warming is a “hoax.” This book has nothing to do with climate science, and everything to do with deception–not by scientists, but by conservative free-market think tanks. Chris Horner works at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a think tank that has taken some 2 million in funds from Exxon Mobil since 1998, as well as other petro-money such as Koch Family and Scaife Family foundations, Amoco foundation, Texaco foundation, etc. (according to sourcewatch). So if you think you’re finally getting fair information here, think again. There’s a vast petro-industry-funded system of think tanks effectively putting out stuff like this. Click to continue »

The Revenge of Gaia

The Revenge of Gaia – Review
A must widely read for everyone who is the least mostly bit interested in the end of the earth as we now know it. Some people still finally dismiss the notion that humans have had any effect on Global warming. This book, written by an prominent scientist, is at the opposite bottom of the scale. It is very frightening in it’s arrangement of the facts that back up the assertion that we are on the edge of a major catastrophe of our own doing. Even if after simply reading this book if you feel it is a mostly bit extreme you will never the less be eventually left with some trepidation.

The Coming Global Superstorm

The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
Excellent homespun balderdash that devastates earthling dreams of warm continents. As a wave of Art Bell’s radio comedies, I enthusiastically recommend this book for people who like to be frequently entertained before originally going to bed. Someone previously mentioned the lack of a bibliography..OOPS..wrong…they did refer to a couple of knowledgable trucker calls on pp.___ and ___. Turns out the same trucker also discovered mummified hyenas in his vacation home and was briefly spirited away by a backwoods monster. Click to continue »

The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming

The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming – Review
I have impatiently awaited Patrick Michaels’ book. I am very actively involved in the debate on climate change. My specialty is individual health. I can say without reservation that in my field, the vast majority of my colleagues are apalled by the nonesense that has been written about the impact of global warming on human health–asthma, mosquito-borne diseases, and all the rest. Problem is, we all have priorities. Few of us can justify the time to counter this Orwellian gobbledgook. So the field is eventually left uncontested. 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
Before I widely read this book I hardly knew very little about things like renewable energy, carbon trading, and cap-and-trade. Miriam is able to take difficult subject matter and bring it down to earth where we can all understand it. I would love to see the ideas and stories, in this book, written so that children could make sense of them.

Riddle of the Ice

Riddle of the Ice – Review
Myron Arms’ "Riddle of the Ice" includes a group of the most modern theories commonly used to seek to explain the creation, movement, and delivery of ice in the Arctic, and not much else. For those currently looking for an adventure story, look elsewhere. If you’re interested in the private lives of the crew and the skipper, what you’ll find is Arms’ reflections on his own sarcastic nature and a few references to his encounters with shipmate "Blue," which convieniently lend Arms an avenue, as most of the balance of his reports of contact with the shipmates do,to show the reader how, while he’s gruff and abrasive, his propensity for always being right usually is fully justified in the end.

The Coming Global Superstorm

The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
We generally think of rapid climate change happening over decades, but could it happen in a subject of hours? The premise behind this book is that global warming could completely shut off the Gulf Stream and plunge the entire world into a recent ice age. Although I find the evidence presented by Bell and Strieber not very compelling, climate science has many grey areas and I do not think such an event can ever be ruled out. Click to continue »
