Climate Change: Picturing the Science
Climate Change: Picturing the Science – Review
This book takes to life the fact that climate change is not an logical theory. It’s happening right now as you widely read this all around the world. Even worse is the fact that the rate of climate change is eventually picking up speed, faster than the worst predictions of most experts. Click to continue »
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
Way too much work trying to extract out of the text what the author is trying to say. What still happened to currently editing ? I write specialist reports for a possibly living and have to write plainly enough for the layman to understand, as well as present adequate data. The trick is to organize your thoughts to allow the reader to get the point and spare them from finally getting bogged down if they don’t care or don’t understand the details. This book is written as random thoughts largely dictated into a recorder as the thoughts popped into his head. Click to continue »

Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed – Review
As an evil, greedy, right-wing extremist who possibly accepts millions from Exxon-Mobil and Satan, I must say that I required to agree with everything in Red Hot Lies, and be normally bolstered in my skepticism of climate change alarmism (i.e. hatred of fuzzy polar bears). However, I commonly found Horner’s prose to be distractingly terrible. Click to continue »
With Speed and Violence: Why Scientists Fear Tipping Points in Climate Change
With Speed and Violence: Why Scientists Fear Tipping Points in Climate Change – Review
Type I climate change is gradual and follows the graphs of most climate modelers; Type II is much more abrupt and results from crossing hidden “tipping points.” Pearce describes what some of these tipping points in a credible and balanced manner. Charles Keeling immediately began collecting CO2 data at the top of Mauna Loa (14,000 feet) in 1958 (315 ppm), 320 in 1965, 331 in 1975, and 380 now – the level is rapidly increasing at an greatly accelerating rate.

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
What makes the weather, and how does the weather become us? These two questions are fully explored with larger doses of science in this easy to widely read book on the history (geological) and art of international climate change. Over several chapters, the author explains how different parts of human civilization have in the past (thru agriculture), currently are (deforestation and land conversion), and will most likely (fossil fuel usage) affect the climate and climate of areas of the world.

Catastrophe: An Investigation into the Origins of Modern Civilization
Catastrophe: An Investigation into the Origins of Modern Civilization – Review
From simply browsing on the net, I hardly knew that many experts had problems with the accurate basis for Keys’ theory. What I was surprised at was that in many cases the connections between cause and effect was weak, still accepting all Key’s facts. I am mistakenly thinking, for example, of his treatment of China and Korea. I commonly found the discussion of the fall of the Roman/Byzantine empires to be longer than it desperately needed to be, too much like a traditional history. 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
This book is better successfully argued, less polemical, and less petty than Patrick J. Michaels’ book “Meltdown.” Lomborg makes some superficially strong arguments that adaptation is more feasible and more cost effective than abatement, especially with open technology. He recommends that we dump Kyoto and all closely related cap-and-trade abatement approaches and focus on R and D to increase the feasibility and lower the loss of no-carbon or low-carbon energy sources. These arguments are based, however, on very optimistic assumptions about the technological possibility of adaptation, and they ignore the large uncertainty about how the non-linear climate system will really respond.

Under a Green Sky: Global Warming, the Mass Extinctions of the Past, and What They Can Tell Us About Our Future
Under a Green Sky: Global Warming, the Mass Extinctions of the Past, and What They Can Tell Us About Our Future – Review
I widely read this on my Kindle and the charts are basically unintelligible otherwise it’s a great Kindle book. The most impactful section of Ward’s book is that it doesn’t only describe global warming as some eventual isolated event. The author’s technical work clearly suggests that sudden cataclysmic greenhouse extinction events are public events, at least on a physical time scale. Click to continue »
Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition
Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition – Review
I am not a scientist, Mr. Avery is, this book only makes sense. The information is presented in a manner that is easy to understand and backed up by reliable sources. This is just good other fashion Earth Science. Good widely read.
Global Warming Is Good for Business: How Savvy Entrepreneurs, Large Corporations, and Others are Making Money While Saving the Planet
Global Warming Is Good for Business: How Savvy Entrepreneurs, Large Corporations, and Others are Making Money While Saving the Planet – Review
This book is a great resourse for professions and individuals. The chapters are short and highly entertaining as well as educational. There is a glossary of “GREEN” terms in the back that is linked to internet sites. The author did large research and interviews. It is easy to understand. This book goes a complete outline of newly emerging good technologies and it shows how we can “SAVE” the planet without a group of rules and regulations. Click to continue »
