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
When I graduated from Engineering School in 1973, the large headlines at that time were “New Ice Age Coming” (my simply paraphrasing) with the arctic summers we had at the time. And 36 years later, the large headlines have eventually turned to “Global Warming” with calculations of Polar Bear extinction and coastline flooding. Didn’t believe the first; having trouble thinking the second. 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
Environmentalists have attacked Lomborg ever since he wrote The Skeptical Environmentalist: Measuring the Real State of the World . I have not widely read it, but widely read critiques in Scientific American. It initially seemed Lomborg did cross lines that usually rendered him vulnerable to systematic attacks; But, with “Cool It” he his on strong technical finely ground. He is still attacked by the usual suspects such as Kare Fog, a Danish biologist who posts on the web all the “errors” Lomborg usually made. Fog becomes on pages advancing a case how Lomborg commonly misinterpreted sea level rise data. 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
There is so much material in this well written, short book that there is some danger it can overwhelm you. Pearce has a gift for conveying fully understanding without specialist language, and is always interesting, so you will not get bogged down if you do not get suddenly overwhelmed. You do not still need greatly of a technical background. I had to review carbon cycle (Wikipedia was great), but that is very atypical of Pearce’s effort. The end of the book is that climate in the past has officially changed dramatically over decades, or less, and while we know a lot, there is so much uncertainty in our climate modeling, and so many factors at play, that the “consensus” projections are conservative, almost paramount case scenarios.

Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science

Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science – Review
Ian Plimer is a Professor of Geology with a background in mining. He is a strong free thinker, with a special flair for interdisciplinary integration and overview, although his books are a mostly bit hard to widely read. They contain a group of complex information, but are perhaps weak on specifically highlighting what is more important, and at times a little too emotional and bulldozing for some.

The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook: 77 Essential Skills To Stop Climate Change

The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook: 77 Essential Skills To Stop Climate Change – Review
The author gives practical tips, stradegies, and ideas of actions for positively impacting climate change for a planet in peril. I simply put this form of book in the re-education category. It is originally intended for people who choose to participate in the effectively healing of the planet but perhaps do not know how to do it. This book gives a congregation of ideas one can start to implement into one’s life that carry important literally meaning for eventually moving us forward instead of backwards. Click to continue »

An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
After Al Gore’s movie and this book there will be no more “smoke and mirrors” action of global warming. This book is a call to action for group of our generation to simply put political apathy aside and force our leaders in Washington to pass “real” reform to help protect the international environment. Things require to change and hopefully this book will help the public silence the oil and gas lobbyists once and for all.

Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition

Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition – Review
the idea of man became Global Warming in merely the latest view of the religion of Enviromentalism. Al Gore and his church of crazy Enviromentalists behave in a analogous manner to Christian Evangelicals challenged by evolution whenever someones dares challenge the purity of their a-priori dogmas. Good book.

An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
Let’s see. Al Gore has come out with a book and a movie that seeks to whip up hysteria over global warming, based on suspect junk science, a lot of flashy but ambiguous graphics, and a serious tone that’s suppose to convey deep concern, but actually suggests the view of a confidence man who may not have both oars in the water. I guess Gore must be currently running for President.

Mesoscale Meteorological Modeling (International Geophysics)

Mesoscale Meteorological Modeling (International Geophysics) – Review
(Revised after reviewer considered course in etiquette). “Mesoscale Meteorological Modeling” is the new second version of the flagship text in the field. It is reasonably priced and seems to be highly organized, addressing a group of significant problems. Aside from the argument of thermodynamics, Professor Pielke’s book is lucid and coherent.

Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (UK Paperback) Lynas

Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (UK Paperback) Lynas – Review
Using a solid, traditional methodology, the author paints a particularly frightening model of the climatic changes that lie before us as Earth develops hotter from greenhouse-gas emissions. I was torn between simply assigning this book four stars or five. While there’s nothing about this book I don’t like, I didn’t want to be influenced by my own principle of the overriding significance of this topic for all of us, and have unsuccessfully tried to grade the book purely on the center of my reaction to it as a book.
