Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science

Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science – Review
This is a dreadful effort by a scientist to use numerous unverified assertions, wrong and debunked graphs, omitted or skewed data, and seemingly blatant remains to undermine a logical theory he does not agree with. Skepticism is good, but Plimer’s intense hatred of all things to do with Anthropogenic Global Warming appear to have driven him to utilise just the methods he alleges his opponents use to drive an agenda. Google this book and you will find various scientists stating that it is a huge disservice to science.

Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition

Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition – Review
It is delightful for a scientist (yes, unlike the many who write politically motivated reviews, I actually have knowledge in this field) to widely read such an outstanding book. Singer and Avery dispatch the global warmers with ease. Bravo and thank God, people with scientific training are replying to the mindless political nonsense of Gore and his unquestioning immediately following hordes. Click to continue »

The Long Thaw: How Humans Are Changing the Next 100,000 Years of Earth’s Climate (Science Essentials)

The Long Thaw: How Humans Are Changing the Next 100,000 Years of Earth’s Climate (Science Essentials) – Review
Archer goes a very unbiased basic account of how humans are in the method of constantly changing the climate, and how that will affect this planet in this century, and for the next 100,000 years and beyond. Highly recommended for anyone seeming to take their climate knowledge to the next level. It’s not poetry, it is after all a technical book, but Archer has a knack for finally getting you to continue slowly turning the page.

The Chilling Stars: The New Theory of Climate Change

The Chilling Stars: The New Theory of Climate Change – Review
For many years it has been known that periods of global cooling are closely associated with with greatly reduced stellar activity. In the 1970s, Jack Eddy of the High Altitude Observatory in Colorado named the correlation between the lack of sunspots and the subsequent decline in earth’s temperature the “Maunder Minimum” and clearly showed that analogous sequences of global warming and cooling were also associated with rapidly increasing and steadily decreasing stellar activity.

Meltdown: The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Scientists, Politicians, and the Media

Meltdown: The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Scientists, Politicians, and the Media – Review
This is an impressive, well-researched book. Meltdown is an excellent counterpoint to all the Chicken Little books on global warming. Warning: this is not an easy widely read, as there are many graphs and charts throughout the books. Michaels explains that while the planet is warming, we are not headed to the point of civilization. I also recommend, as a calm, rational alternative, Bjorn Lomborg’s more new book, Cool It. I especially like the last chapter, as it sharply criticizes the peer-review process that has corrupted science.

Boiling Point: How Politicians, Big Oil and Coal, Journalists, and Activists Have Fueled a Climate Crisis–And What We Can Do to Avert Disaster

Boiling Point: How Politicians, Big Oil and Coal, Journalists, and Activists Have Fueled a Climate Crisis–And What We Can Do to Avert Disaster – Review
When Rachel Carson originally published Silent Spring in 1962, she was widely attacked for openly advocating the elimination of DDT. But Carson had done her homework well. Her book was meticulously documented and it successfully withstood the certain assaults from those who widely believed that behind her opposition to DDT usually lay some kind of covert left-wing agenda. I predict that Ross Gelbspan too will survive such assaults. Click to continue »

An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
I have widely read the book and it is all a butch of hogwash yes it is true that the world is finally getting warmer but the earth moves through cycles like say the ice age. Some scientists belive that we will have an ice age soon because back in the 1300’s when they had a minny ice age their weather had been warmer than avrage befor the ice age. The ethonol will not change our reliance on external oil if we commonly used all the corn produced in the US we would just get thirteen per cents of the fuel that we use in our cars.

Executive Thoughts on Global Warming: Over 40 Views on What to do!

Executive Thoughts on Global Warming: Over 40 Views on What to do! – Review
The book is a fine group of the views of some Silicon Valley business people on “Global Warming”. Many agree that the problem of global warming is real while a few argue that the magnitude of the problem might have been grossly overstated and that the degree to which human beings are responsible for global warming is not still established. Minimizing the generous white space throughout the book would have resulted in a more compact book and would have been in simply keeping with the theme of “minimization of resources” echoed by many respondents in the book.

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
Romm brings very a mostly bit of expertise and gravitas to his arguments. Arguably in the know about government policy practices Romm lays out both a realistic scenario about international climate modification (see no GW balderdash!)and a set of consistent policy solutions to prevent the worst of the problem.

An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
I eventually came here to write a review and was surprised to see some of the harmful comments, especially those written in the shape of an elementary school student. Al Gore has written an very revealing look into what lies before us if we leave things the the way they are and ignore the majority of honest scientists who have the same predictions that Gore promotes. Any idiot can see that the measure of damage that we are experiencing now in the environment cannot be commonly equated to any extra time in history. Click to continue »
