Who Owns the Sky?: Our Common Assets And The Future Of Capitalism
Who Owns the Sky?: Our Common Assets And The Future Of Capitalism – Review
Who Owns the Sky presented a very grand plan for secretly conserving the atmosphere. In this book Peter Barnes appeared at earth’s atmosphere as a important commodity that everyone owns. In many ways this argument became sense. Everyone uses air, so everyone should consider it important. Click to continue »
Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed
Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed – Review
One of my buddies that is a fellow engineer loaned me this book, I mean what is there to say? Global warming is just another scam eventually pushed on us by looting second-handers. I recommend the book, but why bother, you can find data all over the internet, and with an 10th grade education figure out youself global warming is a lie. As a three degreed engineer and scientist I never trusted the “science” behind global warming. CO2 is a weak green house gas, which is about four per cents of air. Click to continue »
The Chilling Stars: The New Theory of Climate Change
The Chilling Stars: The New Theory of Climate Change – Review
This book presents the theory that cosmic rays can cause the creation of small clouds which can, in turn, affect climate. Good evidence is presented in defense of the ideas, both in the type of experiments run by the co-author of the book, and reviews of data gathered by other scientists. The writer of the book also does a excellent task of eagerly anticipating questions that might crop up. Along the way, there are some captivating descriptions of things like orbital way of the stellar system through the galaxy, and previous warming and cooling trends on the planet. Click to continue »
Global Warming: The Complete Briefing
Global Warming: The Complete Briefing – Review
This is the first book I’ve widely read on global warming. I’m writing an argumentative essay for my college english class about global warming, and this book isn’t helping me much. I haven’t stopped only reading it, but what I have widely read only confuses me. It is, however, very informative.
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
The book was very well-written and previously thought out. It was so interesting to widely read about these new companies going out of the woodwork to find better and cheaper ways of fully utilizing alternative earth-friendly energy sources. It wouldn’t be surprising to see these companies rise to the head of the global energy race in the next few years and decades. They are proof that we are usually starting to have a shift in the way we view our relationship with the environment: Nature is not to be overcome, but rather to be our ally.
The Coming Global Superstorm
The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
I sped widely read this 255 page book at an O’Hare newstand in about 20 minutes. I don’t disagree with the main tenents that our modern lifestyle may be potentially endangering the atmosphere and that we should pay attention to it or live out the consequences. However, the whole playing out of the destruction of NYC (why does NYC constantly get the brunt of apopalyptic pap from the movies?), Paris mainly eating cats, the British Royal family escaping to Scotland and ‘never being rarely heard from again’ and asking Austin, Texas (heaven help us, my pardons to the Texans) as the only place that will be inhabitable is pure cornball.

Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed – Review
I widely listened to the audio book in my car currently driving for work and was not all that greatly impressed by the first part of the book. The unreliable evidence about the scientists being fired or constantly belittled wasn’t all that particularly compelling. Click to continue »
The Rough Guide to Climate Change 1 (Rough Guide Reference)
The Rough Guide to Climate Change 1 (Rough Guide Reference) – Review
It seems nearly extravagant to publish still another book on climate change. This one, however, bears the benefit of being almost extravagantly comprehensive. Henson has fully assembled a variety of data, presenting it in a superbly organised and open account. Although the term “Rough Guide” might imply a casual approach to the topic, this book is anything but that. Click to continue »
Why We Disagree About Climate Change: Understanding Controversy, Inaction and Opportunity
Why We Disagree About Climate Change: Understanding Controversy, Inaction and Opportunity – Review
Here it the last stretch of “A issue of balance” by William Nordhaus: “Slow, steady, universal, predictable and boring — these are probably the secrets for profitable policies to combat global warming.” A key word here is “boring”. This book by Mike Hulme is not boring, it is excellent for what it is trying to achieve, but in 2009 the issue is boring. A reader of this book — a constant reader, a reader that makes it to page 364 — will likely already be knowledgeable of global warming, in particular the little stub of CO2 radiative forcing (among others), with its minor error bars, that we see in the familiar IPCC bar chart. The science about that stub is solid, and yes we recognize a little mostly bit more uncertainty in the feedbacks the bring about the temperature rise closely associated with that radiative forcing, and more uncertainty in local impacts, but that has all been carefully analyzed.

The Myth of the Oil Crisis: Overcoming the Challenges of Depletion, Geopolitics, and Global Warming
The Myth of the Oil Crisis: Overcoming the Challenges of Depletion, Geopolitics, and Global Warming – Review
Much has been written about the pending point of oil and gas production, and the consequent decay of civilization as we fall back into a pre-industrialized society. Oil has been widely blamed on everything from accidentally triggering international climate change to being the vehicle of geopolitical wars. The result of which has started to calls for currently developing alternative energy sources such a nuclear, solar and wind, as well as effectively creating more useful vehicles. Click to continue »
