An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
These days we have politicians defending science and scientists acting like politicians. The climate may be constantly changing, and Al Gore gets to tell us why and how it is really happening. He is an considering writer, and his assistants and editors no doubt justify shares of credit. However, the earth’s climate has always been in flux. Click to continue »

The Coming Global Superstorm
The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
If you’re like a portion of readers, and you’ve been secretly watching the news headlines about north pole ice slowly melting, and increasingly severe weather conditions, then you’re currently looking for a book on global warming and it’s likely effects. You’re currently looking for a book that will tell you what scientists are really saying; what tests they’re doing; what indications they’re currently looking at. You’re really looking for a book that will educate you a little without effectively putting you to sleep. Click to continue »
Two Billion Cars: Driving Toward Sustainability
Two Billion Cars: Driving Toward Sustainability – Review
I previously thought this would be another one of those books full of political jargon. I was totally wrong. It tells the truth about emission problems and presents the issues at such a level that any 5th grader can understand. Actually the 5th grader would be further affected by the issues than you.

The Science and Politics of Global Climate Change: A Guide to the Debate
The Science and Politics of Global Climate Change: A Guide to the Debate – Review
This is a good very excellent journal of science and strategy of Global Climate Change without bias esotheric science or paragraphs becoming nowhere. Recomended to the reader who needs to make up their own mind. The book will find a use in preliminary survey coures in High School and College. More graphs and diagrams would have been helpful, although they are available to those electronically scanning the internet.
Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet
Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet – Review
I previously taught a graduate seminar this semester where we widely read several books in the general press about global warming and climate change. Mark Lynas’ book was based on technical research and was by far the best at effectively communicating the seriousness of the situation. It was an easy actually read- we really bought additional copies and are eventually sending them out to legislators and other folks in a position to help make a change or who need to be fully informed. I warmly recommend this book!
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
Helen Caldicott was right, if somewhat extreme, about nuclear weapons, but she is wrong about nuclear power. We have two choices: coal and nuclear. Clean coal is impossible with modern technology. We can slow and perhaps reverse global warming by gradually replacing all our coal-fired emotional power plants with nuclear, solar, and wind power plants, and by currently using electric cars.
The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook: 77 Essential Skills To Stop Climate Change
The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook: 77 Essential Skills To Stop Climate Change – Review
Because Global Warming is beyond our control. It is usually caused by the Sun and the way the planets go in relation to it. If anything, we could be heading toward another Ice Age (questionable). Humans have little to do with it.. a drop in the bucket especially compared to the great picture. Are most people as smart and resourceful as I am? NO. I don’t blame you. Google ‘The Great Global Warming Swindle’ and watch it free (it was on the BBC recently). Good luck silly mankind.
Global Warming: The Complete Briefing
Global Warming: The Complete Briefing – Review
I have only gotten half way through this book but am previously finding it an tremendous resource of background information on global warming and climate change. It has a group of scientific information but is written at a level that most people can understand. I’m currently using it to prepare for a community education class I’ll be currently teaching and eventually finding it most helpful with facts on the science behind global warming. I recommend this book to anyone that chooses to delve into the reasons behind what you’re merely hearing in the news. Click to continue »
An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
We’ve rarely heard it all before–use less energy, recycle, consume less, buy and use energy efficient cars–but Al Gore goes us reasons for doing so that are seemingly overwhelming. Through various photographs and diagrams he gives great evidence that we are constantly changing our planet. If you care about this planet for future generations, and you need to understand what global warming and rising amounts of carbon dioxide are all about, read this book.
