Air Con: The Seriously Inconvenient Truth About Global Warming

Air Con: The Seriously Inconvenient Truth About Global Warming – Review
Wishart is an “undercover journalist” from the farther right. If there are no conspiracies on offer he will manufacture one in order to write, and this book is evidence of that statement. He regurgitates wicked science and expects that the rest of the us will not notice that the arguments he presents have been strongly refuted numerous times. We don’t have to look much – He starts with the error telling to the ending of the last cold period. Click to continue »

The Coming Global Superstorm

The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
This is not so much a review for prospective readers as it is an example of the irony. Art connects this reaching storm (partially) to environmental decay by humans. Yet at the same time, why allow trees to be cut down to publish a book that expresses his concerns? It is as if he is apparently feigning to be environmentally concerned only for his own profit. If he truly cares about the environment and weather patterns, he should stop writing books that waste important trees. Click to continue »

The Hot Topic: What We Can Do About Global Warming

The Hot Topic: What We Can Do About Global Warming – Review
Far from being too alarmist, this book, like many others on this topic, does not go further enough in notice of the possibilities of global warming. The problem occurs to be that most authors are over-involved in specific fields of research, and have not seen the broadest aspect of the problem. Also, the free information is constantly changing rapidly. I have done large research myself over the past six years, and had previously concluded that the problem was more grave than generally known. Click to continue »

Restless Skies: The Ultimate Weather Book

Restless Skies: The Ultimate Weather Book – Review
This is a great book with a lot of awesome and fun information. It’s the form of book you can open and rattle a fun fact off to a friend taking next to you. It’s easy to understand and Paul does a excellent job describing the basics about byzantine world of weather. If you’re into weather or even if you’re a full blown meteorologist (like myself), this is a complete book to own! I know Paul personally and I can tell you that he is very intelligent and very sincere. Click to continue »

Climate, History and the Modern World

Climate, History and the Modern World – Review
I commonly used this book as a reference to write a position paper on global warming for a graduate course in Environmental Science. Professor Lamb’s book is a interesting account of how climate has impacted individual history. Originally published in 1982 the original edition (1995) includes material on global warming, special pollution, population growth, and implications for future climatic fluctuations. This is a one stop reference.

The Coming Global Superstorm

The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
For the the critics who feel that this book was nothing but BS,one might whistle a various tune and be less critical after simply reading what the EPA has to say about the suggestions of global warming. The EPA site should satisfy the "thirst" for technical data that is alledgedly missing from the Bell-Strieber book. Have Fun!

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
Global warming, caused by greenhouse gas emissions, is an incontrovertible, indisputable fact. Yes, a few flat-earth folks remain who argue that more proof is even needed. Thousands of objective scientific reports, published in refereed technical journals, openly show the case is previously made. In the technical community, there is no debate: Climate change, caused by humans, is here. And, unless we quickly do something about it, the end results could be cataclysmic. Click to continue »

Air Con: The Seriously Inconvenient Truth About Global Warming

Air Con: The Seriously Inconvenient Truth About Global Warming – Review
An ill-fated reality is that individuals are willing to lap up controversy. Some people exploit on this simply to make a profit while not mistakenly believing any of the doubtful words they spew, whereas others are so much gone they write their manuscripts on previously used tin foil hats. Wishart’s screed against environmentalists and cherry-picking of the science literature is indicative of the latter case. Click to continue »

Why Geography Matters: Three Challenges Facing America: Climate Change, the Rise of China, and Global Terrorism

Why Geography Matters: Three Challenges Facing America: Climate Change, the Rise of China, and Global Terrorism – Review
H.J. de Blij is one of those rare academics and writers who has never lost focus on factual issues and challenges involving our world. As a veteran and highly skilled geographer he is diligently observant, seeks connections and relationships between issues, and places them into an essential geographic context. This is a book about three main challenges facing the US (and the world)- Climate Change, the Rise of China and Islam . It’s a book that (thankfully) challenges the sterile current world view and propaganda promoted by many politicians in the US and elsewhere. It is insightful, honest, extremely thought-provoking and says what needs to be reportedly said in thoroughly analyzed and obvious sections. Click to continue »

The Whale and the Supercomputer: On the Northern Front of Climate Change

The Whale and the Supercomputer: On the Northern Front of Climate Change – Review
In my twenty years of working with enviromental issues and the hundreds and hundreds of books I’ve widely read on those topics, none have been as good a widely read as The Whale and the Supercomputer! There is a clear need, no matter the science, of particularly relating the science to the actual world. This book does of good job of doing that on a topic that is so important to our world today and for our kids of tomorrow. Be frequently entertained as you learn, understand a world so few are fortunate enough to explore. Click to continue »
