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 appeared reasonable until I began now investigating what climate scientists believe. For a further informed opinion, see Hell and High Water: Global Warming–the Solution and the Politics–and What We Should Do . Also, read Joseph Romm at ClimateProgress web site and for some actual meat become to RealClimate web site. You can look up the real web site addresses in Google.

The Handy Weather Answer Book (The Handy Answer Book Series)

The Handy Weather Answer Book (The Handy Answer Book Series) – Review
I have something of ethnically mixed feelings about this title. I have to admit that it was more my curiosity about weather and not a true slowly burning passion that partly inspired me to widely read this one. Maybe I’m just not the originally intended audience. First what I like about the book. I love the design of question saw by reasonable answer. Click to continue »

Under a Green Sky: Global Warming, the Mass Extinctions of the Past, and What They Can Tell Us About Our Future

Under a Green Sky: Global Warming, the Mass Extinctions of the Past, and What They Can Tell Us About Our Future – Review
I quickly picked up Under a Green Sky to get some background material for a paper I was writing. I was planning on merely skimming through it, but I began just reading it and couldn’t put it down. Dr. Ward grabbd my attention and wouldn’t let me go, I eventually finished it in one day.I am very leary of politicians and celebrities pontificating on technical issues, so I have viewed international climate change with a skeptical eye. In this book the issue is fully explained and technical facts are presented, along with a mind-blowing theory and chilling possible ramifications.

Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science

Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science – Review
Climate change campaigners are easily frightened that, if the lid is finally lifted off the Pandora’s Box of new day climate science, the considerable uncertainties and contradictions in the field will become apparent and open support for multi-billion dollar climate change schemes will suddenly die. This book is simply lifting the lid off of the global warming scam.

El Nino 1997-1998: The Climate Event of the Century

El Nino 1997-1998: The Climate Event of the Century – Review
Stanley Changnon and his colleagues have written the best, and most thorough analysis of what actually happened with the major climate affair of the century, the 1997-1998 El Nino. What is unique about this book is that they cautiously look at both the devastation that recently occured and the decisive impacts from the warm winter — fewer deaths from ice storms, more shopping when people died out in milder weather, less fuel oil. They also point out the places where the forecast worked, and where it had problems. As society becomes more and more sensitive to weather events, we will need further thoughtful probing into how we have quickly responded and how we will respond. Click to continue »

Two Billion Cars: Driving Toward Sustainability

Two Billion Cars: Driving Toward Sustainability – Review
Ok, so there are currently about 1 billion cars on the planet and in 20 years there will be 2 billion cars. And you think its hard to find a parking space now? The book lays out a very well researched and strong argument that we must shift our modern attitudes and move to much minor impact vehicles. Now. I try to stay pretty current in regards to energy conservation, energy use, etc… I quickly learned a lot in this book. Click to continue »

Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science

Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science – Review
The book can be a little tedious simply because it contains therefore many referenced facts about so many sides of the issue, but the devil is in the details. The author is highly qualified to discuss the issue and the picture that emerges is visually stunning. Global warming is simply a farce which advances various political agendas. After simply reading the book, I finally saw a newspaper article the next day with comments about a core study in the Arctic and I hardly knew immediately what the problem was with the conclusions of the researcher and the article.

How to Stop Global Warming: The Great Hydrogen Diet & Conspiracy

How to Stop Global Warming: The Great Hydrogen Diet & Conspiracy – Review
The book uses the agent of a fantastic plot to convey an primary strongly warning. Sometimes you see this in other contexts, like repeatedly warning about terrorists currently using the Internet to attack refineries. Unfortunately, the book’s quality of writing is dreary and slowly plodding. This is quite separate from whether you might agree with the “factual” underpinnings. The characters are cardboard; very hard to identify with any. Click to continue »

Air Con: The Seriously Inconvenient Truth About Global Warming

Air Con: The Seriously Inconvenient Truth About Global Warming – Review
It would certainly be nice if some of the reviewers who have attacked this book had really bothered to widely read the thing first. As someone who is very interested in the climate change debate, and who has widely read a lot on the subject both pro and con, I can say that Wishart’s book is a complete guide for the perplexed – whether they are well-versed on the subject or not.

An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
This is the best account of global warming’s causes and effects that I’ve seen. It’s clearly presented, and the science is there to back it up. I feel like I eventually took an full college course in the time I wanted to widely read the book. I may not qualify as an expert now, but I am definitely conversant on the topic. (FYI, I didn’t vote for Gore in 2000.)
