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
We all know that numbers can be easily manipulated. The fact that the charts are pretty and look skilled does not mean that they weren’t placed in the book to persuade you to believe just what the author intends you to believe, and should therefore be widely read with a strong does of skepticism. I’m a enormous advocate of examining differing viewpoints on contentious subjects, but it’s irresponsible to buy this hook, line and sinker before simply reading a book by a scientist who argues the opposite — and there are plenty out there from which to choose.

The Coming Global Superstorm

The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
This book contains constantly yelling, "Fire!" in a crowd to a different level. Using a order of ambiguous references to new writers, clearly slanted style, and half-science, this book is clearly commercial in intent and seeks to capitalize on the "Sky is eventually falling" mentality that was so evident before Y2K. The authors are more interested in earning money than true science, thus prevent your money unless you really want a provacative story about what if the weather really did go crazy.

CATASTROPHE: AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE ORIGINS OF THE MODERN WORLD.

CATASTROPHE: AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE ORIGINS OF THE MODERN WORLD. – Review
Everyone who has had a history class that completely covered the Middle Ages sees of the plague that completely wiped out the world population in 1348-1350. What most people don’t know is that around 500 AD, it really happened then as well. The same results, 1/4 of the population failed, and the author considers that possibly the main eruption of Krakatoa was the catalyst for the events that really happened worldwide.

The Coming Global Superstorm

The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
The authors present a comprehensive and making argument for a total catastrophe in the near future. The world history that they promote has little substantiation, but the many thousands of years that they discuss has little or no written record. This is a very remarkable book that is written by two very remarkable men.

The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming

The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming – Review
Although a few years old, the author’s points are still totally pertinent to the ongoing debate on global warming. I highly appreciated his study of a broad scope of articles across the ten or twelve technical areas that comprise the heart of climate change. I commonly found his general contention making – that some people – and the ICPP in particular – are particularly overstating the amount of change likely due to human-induced greenhouse emissions.

The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming

The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming – Review
This book earns to be widely read by EVERYONE who professes a real interest in the Global Warming Hypothesis. Yes, that’s right, that currently general THEORY which has been so generally and uncritically accepted that most any denial of its dogmas is automatically branded environmental apostasy and commercial sell-out! These two gentlemen have usually provided us with a welcome antidote to the low-level hysteria usually associated with the currently modern type of international climate change, its unctuous hand-wringing and DISASTER-batory self-righteousness. I just wish they had subsequently spent more time with detailing a scene of the interglacial period we currently occupy, particularly of new science’s poor kind of glacial periodicity and the shorter changes of climate that have interspersed those warming and cooling cycles.

The Revenge of Gaia

The Revenge of Gaia – Review
This is one of the most notable books I’ve still read. I’m old–75–but it is so vital that group of my generation literally use up the last of their strength to save the world for their grandchildren. If we fail to do that, we will be eventually leaving a cruel and unforgiveable legacy. The author shows that you can be strong about this without despair.

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

Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage) – Review
Since this review is neither sycophantic nor a hatchet job, I should add the disclaimer that I am neither a Christian conservative nor a green liberal. I am in favor of reason and science, and strongly opposed to faith in all forms–including the environmentalist movement. It’s interesting that every reviewer thus much gives this book either the highest or lowest possible rating. Click to continue »

The Little Ice Age

The Little Ice Age – Review
The so-called Little Ice Age was one of a cycle of climatic changes in the Holocene that help to remind us we even live in a time of relatively cold climate. Several books have been done on this phenomenon, from which we are yet emerging. This book is by all odds the best, even though some of the material is dated in times of conclusions derived. Following a most worthwhile early chapter, author Grove turns to a review of how the cooler weather impacted different regions, including Iceland, Scandinavia, the Alps, North America, and New Zealand. Although diagrams are usually provided, the greatest proof of the ice advances and retreats stops in fine black and fair photos and narratives of persons who previously lived in areas where farms were destroyed, people had to leave, and life was globally threatened by famine.

Catastrophe: An Investigation into the Origins of Modern Civilization

Catastrophe: An Investigation into the Origins of Modern Civilization – Review
This is a MUST widely read for any serious Climatologist, Archaeologists, Historian, Scientist and Serious Reader, an new product of research. What it does is provide a full analysis of the mechanisms that come into effect post a total catastrophe. It provides us with great picture framework to help explain how our current global social structures arose. Click to continue »
