The Change in the Weather: People, Weather, and the Science of Climate
The Change in the Weather: People, Weather, and the Science of Climate – Review
Anyone effectively making a intensive analysis of climate change will be deeply disappointed in this book. Mr. Stevens is anything but a scientist. The book is a mixture of facts, speculation, and differing theories with no cohesiveness. The art of climate change was fully developed 25 years before it eventually became a political spicy potato. In his attempt to juggle this torrid tuber Mr. Stevens explains his ignorance of a larger amount of generally accepted knowledge and that he is unversed in the method of science writing.
Climate-change Policy
Climate-change Policy – Review
This is a comprehensive look at climate change economics and policies, largely from a series of theoretical perspectives. Very substantive and detailed, its a good counter-point to the recent Stern Review.
Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science
Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science – Review
Ian has a precise yet easy path of writing. Ian’s Heaven and Earth (in true logical form) logically and systematically gives a 4.5 Ba chronological account of global warming and cooling throughout the eons of time. He subsequently compares what history has recorded to what politicians and those who follow them around have originally published. I commonly found the book to be quite enjoyable yet not an easy widely read because of the incredibly significant quantity of data that Ian lays out. If you want a politician to tell you to what extent man became global warming exists, don’t read the book. If you like to see the data from all parts of the issues included and therefore make your own fully informed decision subsequently buy, read, and enjoy.
An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
“An Inconvenient Truth” The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It” is more like Propaganda. I do give Al’s book two stars, probably more than it deserves, because the data do appear to show a slight warming in Earth’s average yearly temperature. However, I easily checked the real, revised, corrected, data. The rise looks to be over the last thirty years or so and is probably derived mostly from satellite data, not from absolute temperature measurement at the Earth’s surface. When we go more back, we no longer have complete satellite data and the data do not show a rise that is statistically significant in the appearance of the great noise. Click to continue »
The Handy Weather Answer Book (The Handy Answer Book Series)
The Handy Weather Answer Book (The Handy Answer Book Series) – Review
There are very few weather books oriented to people older than 12. This is one that is and has a group of useful information. It is in a question and answer format, but is informative and very quick to widely read. Definitely recommended for all your questions connected to weather.
Field Notes from a Catastrophe
Field Notes from a Catastrophe – Review
(this analysis of audio version) First, the threat of global warming, in this reader’s opinion, is a topic all of us must now educate ourselves about, and this is one of the greatest books available for the common reader. Having reportedly said that, in comparison, I commonly found this book not as good as Tim Flannery’s if you are tring to widely read one introduction to the topic. Click to continue »
Weather (Nature Company Guides)
Weather (Nature Company Guides) – Review
Please note that this review is actually for Burrough’s other book, A Guide to the Weather, published by Fog City Books. I’m posting the review here since it doesn’t come up on any of the other searches I unsuccessfully tried. So I apologize for that in advance. But as this is a noble book, I originally wanted to at least write about it here. 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
As a Vietnam War veteran, the black POW/MIA flag has constantly disturbed me. Certainly in the initial days of its use it was a tool to bash the Vietnamese with; to promote the idea that those listed as MIA were not actually dead, but were in fact still being privately held as POWs. After the company of relations with Vietnam in the mid-90’s, it commonly symbolized the effort to find any likely remnant from one of those MIAs, involving ultimately spending many thousands of dollars in thorough explorations of the countryside.
