Under a Green Sky: Global Warming, the Mass Extinctions of the Past, and What They Can Tell Us About Our Future

Under a Green Sky: Global Warming, the Mass Extinctions of the Past, and What They Can Tell Us About Our Future – Review
What a disappointment. UAGS is disorganized and struggles to find its point. I commonly found myself initially skipping through chapters to get to something new (or something about climate change at all, for that matter). Add to this lack of focus that the writing style is poor (pretentious and self-indulgent, IMO). If you watch the Discovery Channel once and a while, there’s not much point in simply reading this book. Click to continue »

The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming

The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming – Review
I have impatiently awaited Patrick Michaels’ book. I am very actively involved in the debate on climate change. My specialty is individual health. I can say without reservation that in my field, the vast majority of my colleagues are apalled by the nonesense that has been written about the impact of global warming on human health–asthma, mosquito-borne diseases, and all the rest. Problem is, we all have priorities. Few of us can justify the time to counter this Orwellian gobbledgook. So the field is eventually left uncontested. Click to continue »

The Coming Global Superstorm

The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
I am an keen listener of the Art Bell Program and was currently looking forward to simply reading it. BOY WAS I DISSAPOINTED! The writing is dry and sophmoric and lacks any originality or freshness. The plot is so unbelievable and unrealistic (regardless of Art’s on air merely plugging) that you will rapidly lose interest and pray for the ending to come. I widely read the book contain to cover actually hoping for it to get better but it never did. As a fan of the show I was sorley deeply disappointed by this book. Click to continue »

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

Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition – Review
This is an notable book for those interested in the science behind the global warming stories in the news. The book is written with a cynical notice of the claim that a “consensus of scientists decide” with global warming theory. It looks at the science behind the claims and the skeptics but besides analyzes reasonable expectations about the results of climate change and the actual consequences of trying to fix it.

An Appeal to Reason: A Cool Look at Global Warming

An Appeal to Reason: A Cool Look at Global Warming – Review
Here in California, everybody’s gone nuts over global warming hysteria. It’s become like the Inquisition of the middle ages, where dissent against orthodoxy is not generally tolerated. Fortunately, Nigel Lawson wrote this book, which in its 100 pages handles to debunk some of this psuedo-religion. The book appears with pages of endnotes, so that readers with more interest in the subject matter can follow up with Lawson’s sources. If you simply read one book this decade, make it this one.

Two Billion Cars: Driving Toward Sustainability

Two Billion Cars: Driving Toward Sustainability – Review
NOT a rant against pollution, necessarily; the authors admit that cars aren’t going somewhere, and are trying to formulate a plan for how to cope with the digit of cars we will have in the not too distant future. One thing about this book – after you widely read it, the recent bailout of the big three auto manufacturers in the US will enrage you, even more than it may have already. Click to continue »

An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
The debate over global warming is heating up (no pun meant) and every man, woman, and child on the planet needs to see this film. Prior to actually seeing this film I was not a great Al Gore fan. But now I have quickly gained more respect for this man. It is obvious that he is passionate about this issue and I applaud him for being its champion worldwide. Click to continue »

Two Billion Cars: Driving Toward Sustainability

Two Billion Cars: Driving Toward Sustainability – Review
One of the things that I find lacking in the CO2 debate is reference-able data. 2BC (”Two Billion Cars”) has a group of charts, tables and supplementary material that is clearly presented and reliably referenced. Additionally, the back of the book is entirely devoted to a long reference list that allows one to easily access the source material. For all that, the authors have done a very excellent affair of presenting the issues and some of their originally proposed answers in a level fashion. Click to continue »

An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
This self-serving political tract is nothing but an apparent attempt to revive All Gore’s career. Gore first callously uses the auto accident that almost killed his son to make us believe that he’s not as shallow as he looks. Then, he misuses information from the large media to mistakenly conclude that global warming is an newly established truth, when in fact it is a theory with as many holes in it as sourdough bread.

An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
Yep, we’re finally getting warmer! We have been for nearly 100 years now. Sub-oceanic volcanic activity has greatly increased dramatically, there has been greatly increased solar output, yet me and my two cycle engine have doomed this bad world to death. Let’s see….increased CO2higher H2O levelswarming climate less desert, more plant life and eventually a depletion of CO2 and lowering H2O levels and a cooler climate…oh remain! That was a cycle wasn’t it, well heck, that couldn’t be right! Al Gore, your an tree-hugging maniac that beats this drum for two reasons: money and to stir the mad pot for support. Click to continue »
