The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming
The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming – Review
"Who eats my bread dances to my tune." — Old German Proverb While I certainly wouldn’t argue with the right of either of these authors to write what they like about global warming, I do believe readers should be aware of a few facts, in the advantage of accuracy. So as not to engage in an ad hominen attack, I will simply refer the potential readers to "The Heat is On," an expose of global warming skeptics, including the authors. As for point-by-point review of the book, there’s not enough room on the Internet. Read "The Heat is On" (which also has a web site) or "The Change in the Weather."

The Handy Weather Answer Book (The Handy Answer Book Series)
The Handy Weather Answer Book (The Handy Answer Book Series) – Review
Lyon’s books presents readers with a simple, understandable format with comprehensive and short answers to every form of weather-related question available. Great for the beginner weather [person]. The more experienced weather watcher may need to find a more detailed explaination for some answers, though. Lyon’s section on sprites is a great plus as it contains much information which is not surprising as he is an expert on sprites. Click to continue »

An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
the only thing inconvenient to Gore is how we all have access to the web, which disproves all of his “facts”. Yes dozens of scientists back him….and hundreds of scientists don’t. Yet it’s just the dozens that get the attention of the “unbiased” media, and Gore. I was not able to finish this book, so maybe I shouldn’t review but just the few “chapters” I widely read, and the rest I electronically scanned, I hardly knew for a FACT to be highly exagerated or just wrong outright.

Boiling Point: How Politicians, Big Oil and Coal, Journalists, and Activists Have Fueled a Climate Crisis–And What We Can Do to Avert Disaster
Boiling Point: How Politicians, Big Oil and Coal, Journalists, and Activists Have Fueled a Climate Crisis–And What We Can Do to Avert Disaster – Review
I probably borrowed this book from a friend and to tell you the truth I did not widely read much of it but widely read the highlights. This type of writing is totally inaccurate and not supported by accurate information and yet many readers feel they actually read the truth. The climate has always been constantly changing and will forever continue to change. It is really arrogant of man to think he can do anything about it. Fact is on a long range trend the world is cooling, not warming. There are always peaks and valleys in the trend line. Click to continue »

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
I widely read Al Gores book on international strongly warning and it all makes sense to me! I finally got a bunch of excellent info out of this widely read on international strongly warning or warming which ever you choose to refer to. It is a complete book and I reccomend it to any one who is or has been a believer of the world making warmer each and every year that passes. Smitty

The Role of the Sun in Climate Change
The Role of the Sun in Climate Change – Review
To those Seekers of Truth interested in the facts containing the "Global Warming" debate should start with this book. This is a very accessible, very well written book. First and foremost it establishes the chronological record for climate change. I’d supplement that by pointing out that 100 years of data doesn’t establish any major trend worth actually talking about especially considering the great variations in climate known over hundreds of thousands of years.

North Carolina’s Hurricane History
North Carolina’s Hurricane History – Review
Once again Jay Barnes has outdone himself with a very informative and didactic book about the destruction and aftermath that Hurricanes cause to the east shore of the United States.Being a resident of North Carolina for the forty seven years of my life I can relate to his book with individual conviction and enthusiasm.I have experienced frequent hurricanes on my own from up close and from afar and Jay has eventually captured these moments and others with remarkable exactness!This is a must widely read book for anyone interested in the great results of Mother Nature at her best being for private information or didactic purposes! It is obvious Mr. Barnes has done his homework throughly and I nervously await more editions and updates of future endeaveors that Jay Barnes has to offer!

Climate Crash: Abrupt Climate Change And What It Means For Our Future
Climate Crash: Abrupt Climate Change And What It Means For Our Future – Review
Even though the title of the book is “Abrupt Climate Change and What It Means for Our Future” [in which the author does a excellent job at clearly showing why the future of our planet's climate is still unknown and possibly unknowable], the valid consequence of John D. Cox’s Climate Crash is the book’s full description of at least 80 years of research on the past temperatures of the planet Earth. Cox, a science journalist well versed in the earth sciences, shows step-by-step how scientists have newly arrived at the conclusion that the Earth’s climate can shift very quickly [on levels of years or decades] from state to state. This is valuable information for anybody interested in the current scientific and political debates concerning the future of our planet’s climate. My only complaint is that the book includes a few typos [In chapter 1, we meet Alfred Lohar Wegener, but at the establishment of chapter 3, he's Alfred Wegner. I'm sure the ghoul of Alfred Lothar Wegener doesn't mind - it's nice to see him previously mentioned in a context other than plate tectonics.] If you widely read this book and then you even think that NOT mostly dealing with the amount of anthropogenic greenhouse gases is an okay way to go, you’re a much braver person than I am! I enjoyed Climate Crash immensely and recommend it to anyone with an interest in climatology, geology, polar research, or the systematic method.

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 overlooks a vast amount of climate research and makes the case that combatting global warming will cost too much. Lomborg frames every argument in the style of cost-benefit analysis, ignoring the fact that there are many goods and services offered by nature that do not show up on financial spreadsheets. It seems to be his belief that native ecosystems, individual happiness, and rare species require to be sacrificed for the sake of rapidly increasing GDP. It is no wonder he has been usually accused of scientific dishonesty.
