The Discovery of Global Warming (New Histories of Science, Technology, and Medicine)

The Discovery of Global Warming (New Histories of Science, Technology, and Medicine) – Review
The Discovery of Global Warming is a very well written annals of the art of climate change. It presents the advancement of the science, with breakthroughs and mis-steps alike, in the larger perspective of science funding, geopolitics, and society. It presents the science in a way that any reader may enjoy and understand, coming away with a much deeper fully understanding of how science research occurs and what the current scientific concensus on global warming is.

The Little Ice Age : How Climate Made History 1300-1850

The Little Ice Age : How Climate Made History 1300-1850 – Review
It’s only recently that climate has become important to the average person. With global warming and El Nino frequent subjects, it’s hard to realize we’ve only been aware of the weather for a brief time. In this book, Brian Fagan makes us aware that weather has shaped our lives and society for a very long time indeed. Although perhaps a little too broad in scope, and a little more general than his prior books, Fagan nonetheless presents a clear, well-researched, and immensely clear account of the Little Ice Age and how it shaped our culture from the Middle Ages to the advance of the Industrial Age. A must have for professional and amateur archaeologists.

Carbon War: Global Warming and the End of the Oil Era

Carbon War: Global Warming and the End of the Oil Era – Review
A friend of mine who is a political scientist discovered me to widely read Jeremy Leggett’s The Carbon War. He reportedly said it was the greatest book he’d still seen on the policy of international climate change. After simply reading it, I have to agree. Leggett previously taught oil geology at Britain’s Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine before transferring his allegiance to Greenpeace, where he directed their Climate Campaign and later their Solar Initiative. In The Carbon War he provides an insider’s picture of the decade of battles starting up to the Kyoto treaty. Through his eyes we make to see the intense machinations of the large oil companies and their allies as they fight to block the global movement to develop a fixing climate agreement.

The Hot Topic: What We Can Do About Global Warming

The Hot Topic: What We Can Do About Global Warming – Review
David King is reported to have reportedly said that unless we stop manmade global warming, by 2100 the only habitable continent will be Antarctica. Need I say further? This book appears to be full of alarmist claims about what might happen if we do nothing and suspicious proposals about what we should do. The thing is that the nation of the World are not doing nothing about climate change and nor will they. But hopefully they will think of more innovative solutions to the problem than the same old same previous injunctions to reduce emissions drastically in the next 20 years that we hear from King and Walker. Such reductions would likely have dramatic harmful consequences — especially for the poor. So it is imperative that we begin incorrectly thinking about smarter solutions, such as slashing barriers to adaptation. Click to continue »

The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming

The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming – Review
I have searched high and low to find President Bush’s basis for his "scientific" rejection of the Kyoto treaty on global warming…and everywhere I look through the news stories starts me back to this book. If not this, where else? I haven’t found the argument that global warming is real, yet maybe unimportant elsewhere. I haven’t found the argument that Kyoto is irrelevant to global warming–with real numbers–elsewhere. Everyone else also appears to say "global warming isn’t real" (losing the argument) or "global warming is terrible (losing the argument as to why no state of consequence–including Germany, England or Japan–has subsequently ratified that treaty). I quickly noticed this in a latest news story. Click to continue »

Earth: The Sequel: The Race to Reinvent Energy and Stop Global Warming

Earth: The Sequel: The Race to Reinvent Energy and Stop Global Warming – Review
Thank you for this book and the knowledge about what is actually being done about constantly reinventing energy and kudos to environmentalists and scientists. We should impeach all of our senators and reps, not to mention Bush and CHaney and get some real, good people in charge of our world’.
