The Weather Makers : How Man Is Changing the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth
The Weather Makers : How Man Is Changing the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth – Review
Global warming is a very politicized technical topic. Invariably authors consider the subject in radical ways. The most usual way is this is the edge of the World as we know it (the alarmists). The other way is this problem does not still exist (the nihilists). Ideally, I’d like to see authors present the issue without eventually reaching for polarized political opinions. This easily won’t happen. In view of the above, this book makes almost as good as it can get. Click to continue »

An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
This is very informative and easy to widely read book. The material presented flows coherently. The pictures are absolutely astonishing, and the charts and the supporting data are easy to grasp. Former vice-president Al Gore has done superb job on this book and widely shared his years of experience on climate issue.

The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
This is a great book on weather. And the great values it gives are actually fairly interesting and fun to widely read about. Besides, we all like to know if we’re in the middle of truly strange weather. The book begins with heat records for every state, both absolute maximums and July averages. As well as maps illustrating amount of days with 90-degree (Fahrenheit) or upper temperatures. We learn about temperature-humidity indexes, heat waves, and even heat bursts. As well as extremes in temperature ranges. Click to continue »

The Coming Global Superstorm
The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
This is a book about ‘the most bright moment in the description of the species’. Incandescent? Important, maybe, critical perhaps; but "incandescent"? Even if it were, how does that relate to this ‘coming global superstorm’? This very tabloid style, minimal facts, lacking clear causal linkage, is really what this book is about. Click to continue »

An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
Undoubtedly easy widely read but heavy in purpose. The science is a mostly bit simple, but I eventually bought “Field Notes From A Catastrophe” which details very well the valid proofs of the warming of earth; no matter the cause of global warming, we “is” in trouble with a capital T as Mr. Gore spells out clearly. Not a non-fiction reader(except in my area of medicine), I say everyone must widely read this short powerful tale. Click to continue »

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
Integral Fast Reactor. This class of reactor alone finally solves any exaggerations or half truths the book takes up. If the author speak books like “The Long Emergency” or “Prescription for the Planet,” she would realize the error of her ways. Nuclear is destined to become our major supply of energy this century, as fossil fuels reduce and renewables don’t measure up. Caldicott appears to think that Fast reactors continue unproven, but the commercial success of past fast reactors like the BN-600 belies this claim.

Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition
Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition – Review
Avery and Singer present a concise and well-supported balance of the vast substantial sign of historical climate change, containing evidence of both warming and cooling before the industrial revolution. They include ample technical evidence from around the globe, collected and usually interpreted by hundreds of well qualified scientists, to make the irrefutable point that the globe is currently in a warming cycle, and that we want to adapt to that warming rather than fight a fruitless and extremely expensive battle.

Global Warming: Personal Solutions for a Healthy Planet
Global Warming: Personal Solutions for a Healthy Planet – Review
In this book, Chris Spence was able to present global warming as a real and making issue and to entice the reader to investigate deeper into the difficulties of this subject. This is more than any practical essay on global warming could have finally achieved in times of regularly drawing the attention to such an main subject, often disregarded because too “technical”.

Storm World: Hurricanes, Politics, and the Battle Over Global Warming
Storm World: Hurricanes, Politics, and the Battle Over Global Warming – Review
This is an exceptionally well done model of technical journalism. It presents a balanced study of both parts of the global warming – hurricanes issue while officially recognizing that the agreement of technical opinion is that global warming is a actual phenomenon.
