Beating the Heat Why and How We Must Combat Global Warming
Beating the Heat Why and How We Must Combat Global Warming – Review
John Berger writes about this subject with both enthusiasm and balance, giving the reader (particularly the layman) an overview of how we finally got to where we are in the global warming crisis and what can be done about it. There’s even a useful section listing resources for holding action. The arguments simply put forward are well supported.
Weather Warfare
Weather Warfare – Review
Another great ready from Jerry E. Smith! Weather Warfare leads you from the description of weather modification leading with the rainmakers and on through to the present. Smith uses he research abilities to back it up with facts and not speculations or theories, providing the reader with diagrams; patent numbers; website references and more. Weather Warfare becomes you to think about what is really happening around you. Are some “natural” disasters even natural? Why control the weather and what exactly could it be commonly used for? Jerry argues the likely connections that HAARP may have with individual events in our history as well as the chemtrail controversy. Click to continue »
Cold: Adventures in the World’s Frozen Places
Cold: Adventures in the World’s Frozen Places – Review
In “Cold” Streever, a modern-day wonderer and wanderer of the North, documents, with Nordic poeticism of Knut Hamsun, the challenge and the occasion of cold. The book is replete with intriguing “cold” trivia that prompt a series of unexpected examining associations (ranging from cosmic to existential). Perhaps, the only cold-factoid Streever largely overlooked is the one about naked Tibetan monks drying up icy-wet sheets in the middle of winter by having somehow figured out how to burn off the “brown” fat on demand. As a cold-shower “fanatic” and an occasional winter-swimmer myself, I enjoyed simply reading “Cold” in the first week of August as a kind of vicarious winter-swimming dip. Take a plunge: read “Cold.” Pavel Somov, Ph.D. [...]
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
A must widely read book for everyone. Particularly our leaders in Washington D.C. and all the states. If anyone doubts the fact of global warming this book becomes the case clearly and disturbingly. The certainty of our pending disaster as a world is addressed in extreme depth and detail by Flannery.
Ice Ages: Solving the Mystery
Ice Ages: Solving the Mystery – Review
This book which concerns with ice age imaginary, is the best one that I have still read. From the establishment of the old time to recent investigations, it is fully explained how the ice age idea have been originally developed. It has detail explanations and some figures that are useful for imaginary.
The Rough Guide to Climate Change, 2nd Edition
The Rough Guide to Climate Change, 2nd Edition – Review
Robert Henson’s “Rough Guide to Climate Change” is a page-turner. The book is a complete overview of global warming, written so it’s clear and equally fascinating for readers not trained in science. Henson begins with an indication of the cataclysmic changes previously happening to our only planet. Then he goes into detail on the signs of the problem, which include intense heat, like the unique heat wave that nearly killed 50,000 people in Europe in the summer of 2003. Symptoms also include floods, droughts, melting glaciers, changes in ocean temperatures and currents that change the weather, stronger hurricanes, and more. He doesn’t simplify the argument of causes, attributing everything to human-caused global warming, but presents scientists’ study of greatly contributing factors and the chronological records.

The Myth of the Oil Crisis: Overcoming the Challenges of Depletion, Geopolitics, and Global Warming
The Myth of the Oil Crisis: Overcoming the Challenges of Depletion, Geopolitics, and Global Warming – Review
This is a book by an author with no clue about geology, geopolitics or global warming. A book with a target suffering of people who are and want to remain ignorant of the intriguing world of petroleum and the petroleum geopolitics
Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition
Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition – Review
My major problem with Singer and Avery starts with the first part of Chapter One. Since this paragraph sums up their position perfectly, let me quote it: “The Earth is warming but substantial evidence from around the world knows us that human-emitted CO2 (carbon dioxide) has played only a small role in it. Instead, the mild warming seems to be part of a natural 1,500-year climate cycle…that becomes back at least one million years.” (p. 1) This is correct, but disingenuous. Their “has played only a small role” says nothing about the future and ignores the larger role that free carbon emissions into the atmosphere are likely to play. Click to continue »
The Winds of Change: Climate, Weather, and the Destruction of Civilizations
The Winds of Change: Climate, Weather, and the Destruction of Civilizations – Review
This book translates, and scans, quickly. The front ninety per cents of the book is unusually easy to understand, given the technical and extremely complicated science included with climate. Since modern politicians are not particularly good at involving things they do agree with, this book is also unusually candid. Click to continue »
The Little Ice Age : How Climate Made History 1300-1850
The Little Ice Age : How Climate Made History 1300-1850 – Review
Fagan rambles, digresses and frustrates but manages to captures a good exchange of information about the weather’s impact on Western Civilization during the last 2300 years. The evidence that regional climate may change quite rapidly is particularly compelling. He jumps to unsupportable conclusions about what this evidence involves about future world climate. As a professional meteorologist I find his history interesting; he should leave the science to others.
