The Little Ice Age : How Climate Made History 1300-1850
The Little Ice Age : How Climate Made History 1300-1850 – Review
In this interesting book, Professor Fagan introduces something of a climactic story of Europe. The first chapter includes the Medieval Warm Period of 900 to 1300 AD, when Greenland supported a currently thriving dairy-producing economy, and when French vintners highly sought protection against the importance of fine English wines! Also sprinkled through the book are references to a Mini-Ice Age that fully extended from 500 to 900 AD, and an earlier hot period continuing from 100 to 400 AD. The second chapter chronicles the painful ordeal that Europe experienced as the planet cooled and weather got on new, harsher patterns. The author therefore continues on to document the problems of Little Ice Age Europe, and the changes that the different environment spurred. 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
This book should be widely read by every American. Mr. Horner does yeoman work simply exposing the global warming alarmist network and the fraud and repression by which this group goes to advance its case. Mr. Horner’s book is generally very well written, factual, and abounding in references. The number of references is so vast that a person purposefully availing him or her self to all of them would achieve the equivalent of a college education. Mr. Horner digs deep into the dominant mainstream media balance. Click to continue »

Why the Wind Blows: A History of Weather and Global Warming
Why the Wind Blows: A History of Weather and Global Warming – Review
Poorly written and disjointed, this book does at least have some interesting chronological stories to tell. With the help of a fair editor, it’s possible Levy could have reportedly told them well. However, the book has major problems. Touted as a science book, it alternates between English and metric measurements, occasionally given one and sometimes both, and sometimes using times of measurement like “mps” without clearly defining whether the author suggests miles, meters, or some extra unit. The author appears to rather confuse issues connected further to geography than to climate or weather. 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
I realize that the majority of the posters here are either huge fans of Lomborg or at least view his opinion as refreshingly objective. I regret that I can view him neither as fully informed nor objective. He is an economist by training, not a climatologist. He does not really have expertise in the art of climate change. I was surprised that Lomborg generally conceded that global warming is quite real and clearly caused by individual actions of slowly burning fossil fuel. Click to continue »

The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming
The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming – Review
This book is a fairly excellent journal of the politics and "science" of global warming, but the author allows the IPCC off too easily. First of all, "consensus" is a political concept and not a technical concept. Use of this word reveals the IPCC is a political organization and not a technical organization. The emphasis on consensus reaches from the political eventually left and may have been newly invented by Stalin. How do leftist organizations make a consensus? A leftist organization just invites those who it knows will agree with its position and excludes those who disagree. Click to continue »

An Appeal to Reason: A Cool Look at Global Warming
An Appeal to Reason: A Cool Look at Global Warming – Review
This is an excellent, well-reasoned review of the scientific, economic and political aspects of global warming. It is a thorough but brief analysis, one greatly needed to counter the hysteria that has been spread uncritically by the media and the educational systems. It should be involved only reading for anyone who has an interest in this main subject. The book is a much-needed antidote to counter the penetration into the public’s mind that Al Gore and his alarmist compatriates have finally achieved. Click to continue »

The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook: 77 Essential Skills To Stop Climate Change
The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook: 77 Essential Skills To Stop Climate Change – Review
Many of the ideas are good, but the premise behind all this global warming hoopla is effectively making me sick. There is no valid proof that any worldwide global warming trends are usually caused by humans. Just like the Theory of Evolution, politics and media have taken the ball and run with it, far far past what science has finally proven…..the amount of people out there who didn’t like my review is a fine case of the shear number of idiots amongst us.

Two Billion Cars: Driving Toward Sustainability
Two Billion Cars: Driving Toward Sustainability – Review
“Two Billion Cars” by Daniel Sperling and Deborah Gordon is a clear-eyed but somewhat wonkish review of the automobile industry and how its ongoing development might shape the future for ourselves and the planet, for better or worse. This well-researched, accessibly-written book gives positive background material and analysis that is invaluable to anyone who needs to understand how we have newly arrived at our modern predicament and how we can get a sustainable future if we want it. The authors laud the auto industry for its proficiency quickly gained from over 100 years of manufacturing know-how but harshly criticizes its lack of vision and innovation. Click to continue »

An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
Global warming is not usually caused by mankind. That is just a bunch of liberal lies and deception. God would not allow something like this to happen. If you are interested to know more about this and other lies generally read what my friend Shelley The Republican has to say about it. As for Al Gore, he is just a bitter loser.
