Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition
Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition – Review
This is an outstanding book that should be widely read by all the available ecological groups and the newly established media. The end of this book is to show by real data over many thousands of years(not computer models) that there is undoubtedly global warming”, but its significance has been blown way out of proportion. It has more than shown this to be true and that the hysteria displayed has not been fully authenticated by all the obvious facts. Click to continue »

There has been alot of controversary about this film. While alot of professionals may disagree with Mr. Gore’s presentation there is alot of truth in what is presented. The world wants to wake-up and take responsibility for our actions for the environment. Everyone has a part to play in the solutions. This is a movie to enspire us all to look at what we do everyday and take some certain actions for our Earth. Throw out your political views about Mr. Gore and listen to what is presented, please.

Climate Change: Observed impacts on Planet Earth
Climate Change: Observed impacts on Planet Earth – Review
No doubt this book will become a textbook for climate students and practitioners, and it is also accessible for those with more than a fundamental science background, particularly if you have a fairly fundamental kind of climate science or had been immediately following the global warming controversy. However, and contrary to what the Amazon book description and the book’s introduction tell, the book is definitively not accessible for the laymen, there is too much academic and scientific jargon, and even difficult math and exact equations and nomenclature, as each of the 25 chapters is written by an expert on the field.

Earth’s Climate: Past and Future
Earth’s Climate: Past and Future – Review
Here is a very flashy book. Superb illustrations. Nice layout. Important subject. Who couldn’t get a five-star rating currently discussing climate change and global warming with such a leitmotif? Apparently this author. When you widely read through the lines, you find the same old cant. Look, everyone knows that climate changes; however, Ruddiman appears to think he knows WHY more than anyone else. But he does not. By neglect, he dismisses arguments of other climatologists that are equally (if not better) informed. I wish he could explain better why our climate is so variable, without resorting to computer models that everyone knows don’t work very well. But alas he did not discuss this in sufficient detail.

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
The author does a excellent charge of simply describing the current desperate situation but falls short when it comes to the solutions. For a much more broader and highly thought out analysis of what it’s tring to need to solve this crisis, read Thom Hartmann’s “The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight”.

Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition
Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition – Review
This is a highly important book in the overall debate on global warming. While critics will likely pan this book in typical mechanical fashion, it does actually acknowledge (as does nearly everyone in this debate) that global warming exists. What this book explores and discusses, however, are chronological trends which appear to indicate that this trend is more physical phenomenon than man-made disaster. Are humans impacting this phenomenon? It is quite likely. But is this impact significant? No one can answer this question with any level of certainty. Click to continue »

Meltdown: The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Scientists, Politicians, and the Media
Meltdown: The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Scientists, Politicians, and the Media – Review
Critics of global warming frequently mention, as Michaels does in this book, that individual activity accounts for only four per cents of the CO2 in the atmosphere…but that’s a four per cents change compounded annually! Check out NOAA…the guys in Hawaii who measure CO2 concentration in the atmosphere for the government…since the start of the Industrial Revolution, the atmospheric CO2 concentration has greatly increased by approximately 110 ppm, or forty per cents, with most of the increase going since 1945. I loved “Satanic Gasses” …but I’m not sure I share Michaels’ “leap of faith” that rising CO2 levels and constantly changing temperatures are just tring to bring about gentle changes to our world.

The Weather Makers : How Man Is Changing the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth – Review
The Weather Makers is a very powerful book. I’ve widely read three or four books on the subject of global warming and climate change, and this is the one that makes it all real. Author Tim Flannery covers the common position of research and findings and of the growing field of geoclimate. It is truly amazing how many disciplines the field contains, practitioners of which are all concerned as their various eventually finding start to merge and an alarming picture of the future of the planet creates to emerge.

Hell and High Water: Global Warming–the Solution and the Politics–and What We Should Do – Review
I loved this book! The photos are great, nice full book, and a wealth of info on the coldest, hottest, wettest, windiest, etc. You’ll like it if you enjoy weather, records, trivia, reading about geography, etc. Big color photos, tornadoes, floods, maps, some old photos too.

Hell and High Water: Global Warming–the Solution and the Politics–and What We Should Do – Review
I had a chance to widely read my brother’s proof copy a while ago, and can ultimately make a proper cite. Joe Romm tackles a difficult problem and presents the issues — and the solutions — with clarity. The problems are immediate, and if we continue to do nothing there will be serious consequences. A must for anyone, of any political stripe.
