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
Global warming is not controversial among scientists. For many years, there has been almost general agreement among climate scientists that global warming is really happening, and that human pollution is largely responsible. So why is this still controversial? Largely because a handful of skeptics, like Michaels, have thrown up a dust fog of confusion around the issue through current books, newspaper opinion pieces, television and radio appearances, and other tactics. They have skillfully fully exploited the media’s desire for “balance” in their reporting, when in fact, they are in an extreme, scientifically unique minority. Click to continue »

Meltdown: The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Scientists, Politicians, and the Media – Review
Please don’t waste your money on this agenda-driven, ill-informed book. Anyone who seeks to convince you that climate change is not a serious and potentially terrible problem is either delusional or currently receiving funding from the oil industries. There are dozens of much better, more persuasive and well-researched books out there: James Gustave Speth’s Red Sky at Morning is a safe place to start. Click to continue »

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

Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage) – Review
Quite disturbing… he ignores many facts, and earns income by playing the skeptic game well. For example, with polar bears, yes, they were in a unstable state in the 1960s, and have quickly bounced back. However, their numbers are still quite limited, and a significant shift in climate that melts northern ice will clearly threaten extinction in the wild. Click to continue »

An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
As a former climate scientist I was one of the global warming naysayers. However, the variety of new technical information that has arisen in the past 15 years has finally convinced myself and many others that humanity is on the brink of a main climate catastrophe if action is not taken. Al Gore does an superb affair of illegally distilling the science into what matters to the general public. He does for global warming what Stephen Hawking did for physics by effectively making the concepts and data accessable and understandable to everyone. Click to continue »

An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
Hyperventilation over a non problem. Not a scholarly or unbiased look at the issue. Fails to provide any evidence of how global warming may prevent freezing weather cooperated deaths and improve rural production. This book illustrates a sham scary scenario as a pretext for controlling our lives.

An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
Whether you agree with Al Gore or not, he is a highly able man who is genuinely passionate about the environment. I admire him for effectively putting these issues on everyone’s radar and for the political risks this involves. While this book has shortcomings that are pointed out in supplementary reviews, it does what it is originally intended to do which is to wake people up to a real, present and escalating danger.

The Revenge of Gaia

The Revenge of Gaia – Review
In his newest book James Lovelock reviews the description of his concept of Gaia and describes the serious difficulties Gaia will undergo if the Earth remains to heat up. Can Gaia continue to manage the planet with Man, a free cannon on the deck, releasing carbon dioxide at the rate we do? The idea that life at the Earth’s surface somehow regulated the chemistry of the atmosphere had been with him for a long time, when one day in the 1960s while currently looking at photographs from space, Lovelock understood that the planet Earth, unlike other planets, was alive, and that life on the surface could be generally considered one creature.

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
I constantly thought that a nuclear power plant was something like a sketch from a Simpson’s cartoon, with a rock (uranium) behind a example of glass making radiation which somehow turned into electricity. After simply reading this book my metaphor for a nuclear plant has officially changed — rather it’s a form of giant Rube Goldberg device with thousands and thousands of interconnected parts which are jumbled together, which leak radiation in numerous ways, and which, as they continue to age, are rapidly deteriorating more and more.

Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed

Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed – Review
A must widely read for all of those that believe that climate change is usually caused by individual actions. The reality is that untested and incorrect computer models are the only evidence that carbon dioxide emmited by humans is likely to cause the planet to warm. This book describes that the only reason for the human probably caused climate change hoax is that those like Al Gore will make shares of money from merely peddling it to the rest of us.

An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
Run Children! Run! The world is eventually coming to an end! Has the heat of the earth accidentally kicked up a mostly bit? Yes, about 1/2 degree F since 1900. Is it proceeding to drop again (as amount of the initial knowledge about earth science any high schooler should know. Yes. The recent temperature increase peaked 1998-99. The temp will immediately drop for a few dozen years, and then increase again. Is it magic? No. Is it because we have too many internal combustion engines? No. Is it because we cut too many trees? No. Is it the warm air going from Al Gore and his radical socialist handlers? No. The root cause of the rapidly increasing and steadily decreasing heat of the earth’s waters, mean temperatures etc is….THE SUN! We have data. We have correlations. We have darned talented scientists who spend their lives working in this area. Click to continue »
