Global Warming in a Politically Correct Climate: How Truth Became Controversial

Global Warming in a Politically Correct Climate: How Truth Became Controversial – Review
What a pompous, patronizing, opinionated piece of would be literature Mr. Mathiesen has given us. I was currently expecting more technical facts and was gave especially thirsty from it’s lack of real technical data. The work is totally amateurish, the tone conceited and boring. Nothing really new, just a collection of clich?s. Do us a favor, Mr. Mathiesen, whatever your day job is, don’t give it up, and leave literature to actual writers.

The Long Thaw: How Humans Are Changing the Next 100,000 Years of Earth’s Climate (Science Essentials)

The Long Thaw: How Humans Are Changing the Next 100,000 Years of Earth’s Climate (Science Essentials) – Review
The book is gradually relaxed in style, almost conversational sometimes, but nevertheless closely focused and packed with useful detail. It was a pleasure for a non-scientist like me to widely read. He appears to understand how to illuminate processes for the common reader. For example, his chapter on the supply of carbon in the atmosphere, the land and the ocean, and his description of the interactions between them in the carbon cycle, provided angles and information that quickly pulled together satisfyingly the bits and parts of my tentative fully understanding.

The Weather Makers : How Man Is Changing the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth

The Weather Makers : How Man Is Changing the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth – Review
In an entirely clear care of all the aspects of global warming from technical research and discovery through causes and effects and evaluation of present danger to the future of planet Earth, Tim Flannery has eventually left no stone unturned. One would have to be an ostrich to ignore the immediate stress of this situation, but at the same time the author does not leave the reader with a really feeling of hopelessness. Click to continue »

Natural Disasters

Natural Disasters – Review
This is not too bad of a book, but the author appears to be really struggling for content along the way. He spends totally too much time droning on about plate tectonics and earthquakes, when he could have approached a broader choice of topics. The title should probably be Geophysical Natural Disasters. There is no treatment of naturally occuring natural disasters at all. This is purely an outline of geomorphology.

Meltdown: The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Scientists, Politicians, and the Media

Meltdown: The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Scientists, Politicians, and the Media – Review
Michaels effort is very unconvincing to me. To admit that global warming is at least partly caused by individual activities, then to argue that it is no great deal and we can all adjust? How do you adjust when your house bears away? It is fortunate indeed that he will no longer be around in another 100 years, when the effects of atmospheric CO2 increases will be abundantly clear to all, because those apparently suffering as a result will not look benevolently on contrarian apologists for business as usual such as Michaels. He is of course called to his fossil fuel industry financed opinion.

A-Z of Global Warming

A-Z of Global Warming – Review
Mr. Rosser’s passionate and “normal person” approach to this subject is really refreshing. He explains concepts of global warming in plain terms and the key points at the purpose of each chapter are very helpful. Evidently, the author is also the artist. The drawings throughout the book are very appealing and almost tell the story all on their own. The book is just the right length and has nice feel to it. Click to continue »

Engineering Response to Global Climate Change: Planning a Research and Development Agenda

Engineering Response to Global Climate Change: Planning a Research and Development Agenda – Review
If you have a real interest in climate change issues you may want to make a major effort to find this book despite its exorbitant price and limited distribution. It addresses the critical situation in a straightforward fashion and in terms familiar and accessible to a common engineering or natural science audience, in brief. The analysis is succinct and fair, still going so far as to point out (as I myself try to do) that the worse-than-consensus scenarios follow much less attention than the better-than-consensus ones. However, the heart of the book is not the problem of climate sensitivity, nor the pseudo-issue of "whether to believe in global warming". The book focuses on rational responses and reasonable time frames in which to accomplish them. 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
Red Hot Lies peels back the politics and much left agenda to reveal only how far the global warming alarmists are willing to go to mislead the public. Their overall goal is to take control of much of the worlds economy and achieve their anti capitalist, anti American agenda. For those who are perplexed by the fact that we cannot get a valid forcast of the weather 48 hours from now, yet the Gore-aphiles can tell you with certainty that it will be 1.8 degrees warmer 25 years from now,you will find that the technology for neither is available with certainty.

The Little Ice Age : How Climate Made History 1300-1850

The Little Ice Age : How Climate Made History 1300-1850 – Review
This is a great book that I recommend to everyone. It is very interesting for anyone who loves history, and actually helps only put the current furor over global warming, increased digit of hurricanes, etc. in perspective. In this book, you will learn about how Europe is not as warm now as it was about 1,000 years ago when many vineyards flourished in England and people farmed at much upper elevations than today throughout Europe. This book has some somewhat specialist science information, but is mostly history. It is very interesting and detailed but not so overly technical that it can’t be enjoyed by the average person.

Climate of Fear: Why We Shouldn’t Worry about Global Warming

Climate of Fear: Why We Shouldn’t Worry about Global Warming – Review
No I have not widely read this book but I know that global warming will benefit all community of color. Therefore, you know who can be specifically excluded. People of color can intake a rise in temperature therefore we can survive…and we do not have to more to another planet to keep from "an increase in temperature". (hint,hint)
