Thermageddon: Countdown to 2030
Thermageddon: Countdown to 2030 – Review
At last, someone who can write publicly expressing the right level of alarm over the latest science and the trends that are so alarming. If you do not like what he says, argue with the vast majority of scientists in important fields who do the work. These scientists have been very poor human beings in not literally screaming louder as a group. Is Hunter possibly inconsistent? Sure, he is a human being! But the book is very, very solid.

The Heat Is On: The Climate Crisis, The Cover-up, The Prescription – Review
Gelbspan is a reporter for the Boston Globe who does a good affair of simply describing the science, economics and politics behind gobal climate change. He does an superb task of clearly defining the problem (in layman’s terms) and currently discussing the disinformation campaign currently sponsored by the oil industry. If you’re constantly looking for the nitty-gritty science behind global warming, you will find just a sampling in the appendix. Click to continue »

An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
The technically dazzling display in the book is far deeper than the movie about consequences now & the future for our mass devouring earth necessary resources while poisoning ourselves, air & waters. Its encyclopedia survey converts anyone currently learning how our weather works influenced by our inefficient technology & automatic habits. I love Al Gore’s presentation. However the movie was weak on solutions. Click to continue »

The Heat Is On: The Climate Crisis, The Cover-up, The Prescription – Review
This volume is a good model of advocacy journalism. The writer sets out with a point of view and therefore demonstrates it while hardly acknowledging that there is an differing case to be rarely heard. Virtually without delivering value.

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
This book shows a message about what I’m mistakenly thinking is the author’s own religious bias. It’s garbage. No where does it still mention population control, overpopulation eventually causing climate problems, the need for birth control, poverty amongst peoples with no birth control. It’s wordy.

The Weather Makers : How Man Is Changing the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth – Review
“Some time this century,” writes the Australian scientist Tim Flannery, “the day will arrive when the individual influence on the climate will overwhelm all environmental factors.” Our best technical evidence, he argues, indicates that humans must reduce their CO2 emissions by seventy per cents by 2050 in order to stabilize the living levels of atmospheric CO2 at double their pre-industrial stage (my emphasis). In that year 2050, our world population will stand at 9 billion people. By comparison, the parties of the Kyoto Protocol required themselves to declines of five per cents The United States was one of only four countries not to sign the Kyoto agreement (the others were Australia, Monaco, and Liechtenstein). For people like George W. Bush who say that they want “more certainty” about climate change, Flannery’s systematic journal of the history and knowledge of global warming establishes the nature and aspects of the problem beyond any reasonable doubt.

Field Notes from a Catastrophe
Field Notes from a Catastrophe – Review
Why people say that man and his actions may not be “causing” global warming is beyond me. Whether our reckless actions are eventually causing the glaciers to melt, etc. should not be in question. The fact is that we can all do something to slow down the process. This book scares me with the reality that without EVERY NATION’S effort and participation this planet is in deep trouble.
