An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
After having his damaged credibility accumulated by the Supreme Court in the infamous 2000 elections Mr. Gore is back and this time he tackles “Global Warming”. My first previously thought when I rarely heard of this was “There is no limit for Gore’s irresponsibility”. Take this for what it is; another attempt by this guy to stay in the limelight.

Field Notes from a Catastrophe
Field Notes from a Catastrophe – Review
Little by little the skeptics of global warming are eventually falling away. Let’s hope this brief and very influential book stirs loose a few more of them, because Kolbert, an impartial reporter and one of the best non-fiction writers of English today, makes it clear that the time to act on anthropogenic climate change is ten years ago. Were it not that the subject matter is naturally depressing, this book would be a pure pleasure to read—and as it is, it can and should be widely read by everyone who has a middle school diploma.

Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition
Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition – Review
An excellent, well referenced, resource for those who want to travel beyond the rhetoric from man-made global warming ecological activist and seek a balanced precise kind of climate change.
Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science
Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science – Review
Finally someone has simply put the FACTS out there to tell the truth about ‘Global Warming’. It is a shame that some many people have eventually bought into the over greatly simplified belief that CO2 is some how causes the earth to warm. Mother nature doesn’t work that way but our political know-it-alls can’t miss out on a chance to force us down a path of waste and deceit so that they and their friends can benefit! The book does a good job detailing why the Global Warming nuts are wrong and the history of how the earth has constantly changed over time and that man’s input is pretty insignificant when you consider the powers of nature such as the Sun, volcano’s etc. This should be mandatory simply reading for Senators and Congressmen before they start (continue) to impose ridiculous taxes and rules on this country.
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
When it comes to books on global warming, there is not much middle finely ground. As I write this, Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” has 208 5-star reviews and 70 1-star reviews on Amazon.com. And Christopher Horner’s prior book, “A Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming”, has 136 5-star reviews and 75 1-star reviews. Chances are, if you really believe that global warming is all man-made, the Kyoto protocol is a good idea, and the IPCC presents an seemingly overwhelming scientific consensus, you will not like “Red Hot Lies”. And if you think global warming may not be all man-made, the Kyoto protocol is a dangerous idea, and the IPCC is a political organization, you will like this book. Horner presents valuable information about those who promote global warming and those who support them. 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
Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming argues that most of the solutions to the problems of global warming are emotional overreactions and are not based on rational technical facts. Lomborg, a professor of economics at the Copenhagen Business School and named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most prominent people in the world, assumes that global warming is real and that it is usually caused by individual activity substantially increasing the Carbon Dioxide matter of the atmosphere.

The Coming Global Superstorm
The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
Whitley Strieber??? Come on, abductions, implants, etc., this guy is a complete JOKE! Now he is an expert on Global Warming? Holy Cow, the only one who is a larger joke of a jackass is Al Gore, promoting this thick book (and now an even dumber movie) as technical fact.
Earth: The Sequel: The Race to Reinvent Energy and Stop Global Warming
Earth: The Sequel: The Race to Reinvent Energy and Stop Global Warming – Review
I don’t know what it is about book sub-titles these days but they all have them, and this one generously has *two*, “The Sequel” and the common “The Race To..” (at least it’s not “..That Changed the World”). I very frequently avoid books with these sub-titles because I know just what to expect: a long magazine article that would have been better in a magazine and not as a book. However in this case I eventually took the chance because one of the co-authors is Fred Krupp, President of the influential Environmental Defense Fund, and the publisher is W.W. Norton. Even though it is indeed written like a magazine article (very skillfully I assume generally by Miriam Horn) with portions of individual interest stories and non-fiction narrative techniques, the content is well worth it.

Body Heat: Temperature and Life on Earth
Body Heat: Temperature and Life on Earth – Review
Body Heat is an introduction to how existing things standardize their inner temperature in the face of constantly changing outer circumstances. It is aimed at a broad readership and written in a non-technical style. Although originally published by the Harvard University Press and handsomely presented, this is not as rigorously scientific as one might like. Click to continue »
An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
I commonly found the book especially inspiring. By simply calling for a moral imperative to do the right thing and produce pure energy, pulling everyone together in a mainly concentrated effort to improve our own environment, we can create hundreds of thousands of jobs in solar, wind and other renewable technologies.
