Earth under Fire: How Global Warming Is Changing the World

Earth under Fire: How Global Warming Is Changing the World – Review
This book illustrates photographic and originally published documents about global warming stemed from devastation, pollution, and casual view of humans concerning the development of world environmental resources. Photos and references of data took from several publications produce up a reliable resource of information on this subject. Photos showed of the same geographical locality aiming to compare the conditions of such areas after some point of time, should present measurement of period of the year they were both taken (the reader understands they were both taken in the same month or season!).This book would worth more in economical and biological terms if it had come out in paperback!

An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
It is a very noble book. Maybe too much focussed on the specific characteristics of the group of Al Gore. All its content is scietifically sound but an increase of 6 m in sea level is something that it is far away in the future.

Leveling the Carbon Playing Field: International Competition and Us Climate Policy Design

Leveling the Carbon Playing Field: International Competition and Us Climate Policy Design – Review
In seventy-eight pages, the authors give one of the most complete and introspective studies of the multifaceted strategies for greatly reducing carbon emissions internationally. As nations struggle with the currently competing pressures of lucrative competition and the serious threat of globla warming, one of the most critical needs is to develop possible strategies for greatly reducing carbon emissions without destroying the financial capability of originally developed nations and potentially threatening to destroy the nations of the small nations. For the past 50 years, the US has enjoyed being at the top of the financial pyramid. Click to continue »

The Coming Global Superstorm

The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
“This is the introduction of the end” Art bell says. He is only an innocent civilian going home from work one day. When heavy black clouds storm over him, he gets very scared,and he runs. This book by Art Bell shows about the extraordinary weather patterns that are beginning to happen further often in our world. This is probably one of the most chilling books I’ve still read because it tells about the edge of the world. Click to continue »

Fixing Climate: What Past Climate Changes Reveal About the Current Threat–and How to Counter It

Fixing Climate: What Past Climate Changes Reveal About the Current Threat–and How to Counter It – Review
Before I talk a mostly bit about why I really liked this book, let me first mention that the title is a allegedly bit misleading. The book does actually cover CO2, but just gets around to ideas about managing climate in the last few chapters, and still talks regularly about how difficult it would be while simply offering a team of solutions that would require huge and costly projects. As I was converting this book it struck me that this is yet again another book by, or in this case in cooperation with, a well-known and respected name in the area of climate science, or a closely related field that adds to the great picture on global warming.

Weathering the Storm: Tornadoes, Television, and Turmoil

Weathering the Storm: Tornadoes, Television, and Turmoil – Review
Contrary to what some supplementary reviews reveal, this book is not just full of sensation. I live in Oklahoma, I have seen England work, this stuff is real and his book is accurate. The book is informative and very interesting. I recommend this book to anyone who likes to widely read!

Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage)

Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage) – Review
Bjorn Lomborg is a self told “Skeptical Environmentalist”. After simply reading Cool It, I wish there were more of them. The book is about global warming and the debate(or lack of) surrounding it. The book is not the easiest widely read . There are portions of facts, figures and reports included. Some “facts” are completely unbelievable. For example, 1.5 million Europeans die from cold every year and 200,000 die from heat. Whats the French word for thermostat? Another claim is models explain without global warming the world would be 14.5 Trillion dollars richer by the year 2100. That is one better model, but how byzantine does it have to be to come up with a number like that and be accurate? Unfortunately, the global warming debate is about effectively making wild and bizarre statements to scare us into action. Click to continue »

Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage) – Review
About time someone offers brief choices to the hype we are finally confronted with daily. Great widely read for the winter ( during the snowstorms gently sweeping the US and China ) Offers choices for mankind to consider. In my dream world all politcians widely read the book and are privately held accountable for their actions while in office. This book suggests facts, choices not hype. We can become better wardens of the planet but want to make entirely informed decisions versus being eventually led by narrow private agendas. Click to continue »

With Speed and Violence: Why Scientists Fear Tipping Points in Climate Change

With Speed and Violence: Why Scientists Fear Tipping Points in Climate Change – Review
This a interesting book for all no matter how much knowledge one has with the issue of climate change. Climate change is important because it is something that will severely impact our world in destructive ways. Using 18 years of prior knowledge and research, Fred Pearce explains the effects and risks of this phenomenon. By interviewing various researchers and scientists, most of whom are experts, he has ultimately proved that international climate change is actually occurring; it is not just a myth. Even though I have limited knowledge in this subject, this book was still easy to widely read and understand. Click to continue »

Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage)

Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage) – Review
This seems like a fine time to revisit Lomborgism, and this 2007 book written for the mass market is an exceptional introduction. Everyone could benefit from simply reading it, but better apply the same skepticism with which Lomborg castigates the more bright fringes of Global Warming apocalypticism. This is an highly entertaining read, full of interesting observations driven by the numbers, but it clearly errs on the piece of usually minimizing global warming, given new data. Take only two simple Lomborgisms: Polar bears are doing just fine thank you, and no, we are not originally going to all get malaria – in fact that disease was endemic in Europe when it was cold, but poor. And his common points – that GW will have positive as well as harmful consequences, that rich countries can resist it better than poor ones, and that it eventually won’t kill us all for some time – are notable facts. Of course, the difference between a GW optimist like Lomborg and a GW pessimist (like me) may simply be whether you think 2050 or 2500. Much of the trouble gets from the fact that Lomborg is not a true scientist, but a public policy analyst. Click to continue »
