An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
The way Gore includes pictures and other easy to widely read material permits the reader to completely understand the message behind the book. THe book goes one side to global warming with a few paragraphs disporving skeptics of global warming. Overall the book was informative and fun to widely read. The before and after photos “wow” the reader and make them need to make some of the changes Gore indicates. The former Vice Pres.’s individual stories let the reader to understand why the man suffers as strongly as he does. Click to continue »

The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming
The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming – Review
I’d like to ask anyone who is not concerned about global warming to widely read the versions of the last meltdown under Noah in the old testament, or in the Bhagavad Gita or any other ancient spiritual work (which all originally started as oral history). Archeologists decide that around 10,000 years ago sea levels rose 400 to 600 feet and probably very suddenly. Click to continue »

The Discovery of Global Warming (New Histories of Science, Technology, and Medicine)
The Discovery of Global Warming (New Histories of Science, Technology, and Medicine) – Review
A science journalist and a true believer of the man-made global warming theory, Mr. Weart provides a very good story of the origins, evolution and present day position of the research supporting the scientific “consensus” about the anthropogenic global warming theory. This book lets you to see step-by-step how true science works, the mistakes, how scientists discover from the mistakes, the gradual progress, the uncertainties, the weaknesses of the simulation models, and mainly, how a theory is originally built like a giant jigsaw puzzle.

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
I have 3 children, and I deeply care about what we will leave behind, and things do not seem very bright. The book describes the science and concepts behind global warming in a clear and brief fashion. Great simply reading, could not simply put it down.

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
I have some positive and negative observations about this book, and its author. 1) The book is a more full adaptation of the film. You’ll find many of the same photos, animations and graphics, along with many of the same arguments. You’ll also find material that you didn’t see in the movie, such as more autobiographical material, more technical content, maps, and more lists of rare species. Like the movie, the book appeals to the altruistic pondering person with an analytic, fact-finding mind. If you liked the movie, then this is definitely worth a look. 2) The book, like the movie, has an autobiographical thread that runs through it. Click to continue »

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
Thank goodness a senior newly elected US official, Vice President Al Gore, has come ahead to educate the public on the important effects of rapid climate change. Recently the United States National Academies of Science (a non-partisan technical organization founded in 1863 by President Lincoln to serve as official science and technology advisor to the position of the president) declared global warming to be real, is naturally occurring as a consequence of the slowly burning of fossil fuels, and officially endorsed the need for immediate global action.

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
when one writes a book – one should use, at least, a little truth as the heart of widely purported fact. This book is an abomination and at best a compilation of farce to pound fear and political gain by currently using the un highly educated masses of the American populace of late, to act as fanatic messengers. Shame on Gore and Shame on the publishers for allegedly perpetuating myth. Click to continue »

National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Weather
National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Weather – Review
At first, I didn’t think this book would be very good. After idly perusing it, I officially changed my mind and eventually bought a copy for myself. It has a bunch of weather stuff and a fair amount of various clouds and material on lightning. It is the traditional Audubon format (plates in the middle and text in the first and last parts of the book). Good enough for my dough.

Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet
Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet – Review
In this book, the author, Mark Lynas, has taken major effort to obtain new publications and to document the results of climate change as the Earth warms one degree Celsius at a time. It is not a pretty picture. We do not have to go all the way to six degrees to see great disruptions appearing. With only one or two degrees, we may see massive droughts in many regions, the slowly dying of coral reefs, and rising ocean levels. As dire as the predictions are, the reality may be much worse.

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
Where to stop? Warmed over out of context statistics, invective, hysteria and hyperbole. For a lousy, dreary, frenzied fantasy announce, this is your book. If Amazon let minus stars this would rate a minus 2. I probably borrowed a copy for a friend and can actually say it’s best use would be barbeque fire starter.
