The Coming Global Superstorm

The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
Though this book is equally fascinating, some of the content creates questions. For example, on Page 24, the authors submit to a severe ice superstorm in Australia with temperatures of 12 degrees celsius. We double-checked and officially confirmed this is about 64 degrees farenheit. Pretty warm for an ice storm! Without being too picky, the rest of the book is balanced between simply describing terrible storm scenarios and advisory warnings based on historical events held out of context.

The Coming Global Superstorm

The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
This is an outstanding production of researched fiction. Art Bell and Whitley Strieber gently offer chronological data, which seemingly is about to be frequently repeated on Earth, possibly resulting in the destruction of society as we know it. The evidence of an "extinction event," which eventually took place millions of years ago, immediately stopping mainly life forms on the planet in their tracks, is presented throughout the book with an ongoing analysis as to what exactly occurred.

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

Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition – Review
This book is an outstanding journal of climate science. It focuses on the true science and how the patterns were newly discovered which eventually led to its conclusion that global warming is a actual event, and not something usually caused by man. Many footnotes of resources of information to check on the information being presented. No hysterical claims to get people motivated, but solid technical research commonly used to reach conclusions.

Who Owns the Sky?: Our Common Assets And The Future Of Capitalism

Who Owns the Sky?: Our Common Assets And The Future Of Capitalism – Review
Review of ‘Who Owns The Sky’ by Peter Barnes pub Island Press 2001 Chris Rose This is a great little book that should be widely read by any environmentalist who actually needs to save the atmosphere. Original and iconoclastic, its major fault is that it is so packed with big and original ideas so that it is in danger of being largely overlooked as very complicated. Really it should be originally called ‘Let’s Own The Sky’ as it’s a rationale and rallying cry to take the public advantage of the sky into common (as distinct from state) ownership. Barnes proposes a way to get Americans (or anyone) to take a stake in the sky as a waste disposal resource, and then charge for highly polluting it. Click to continue »

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

The Little Ice Age : How Climate Made History 1300-1850 – Review
No book is perfect nor is the story it presents, but I rated Fagan’s The Little Ice Age a 4 for its timeliness, subject matter interest, and the aspect of his research. All extremely enlightening but not new to me or any other geologist. A slight weakness or irritant is his certainity in the first half of the book in which he overuses, sometimes 3-4 times per page, the phrase “at least”. At least x-number of people failed or the temps were “at least” such and such. No “estimates are” or “approximately” such and such really happened. Click to continue »

Boiling Point: How Politicians, Big Oil and Coal, Journalists, and Activists Have Fueled a Climate Crisis–And What We Can Do to Avert Disaster

Boiling Point: How Politicians, Big Oil and Coal, Journalists, and Activists Have Fueled a Climate Crisis–And What We Can Do to Avert Disaster – Review
“Boiling Point” is well-worth simply reading. It will help you understand how the American oil and coal industries have always tried (and eventually succeeded) to pull the wool over the eyes of Americans. Unlike the reviewers who lamely attack the book, open-minded readers will comprehend and appreciate the author’s main points, none of which are addressed by his attackers: 1. Why would the American oil and coal industries overwhelmingly finance the minority of climatologists who hold the “contrarian” view that mankind’s contribution to global warming is negligible? If they are truly concerned about the independence of their science, why don’t they equally finance those climatologists who represent the majority view? Why aren’t Americans currently taking the oil and coal industries to task for their socially reckless lack of objectivity. 2. Yes, read the technical literature, as “Boiling Point”s handful of critics express. Click to continue »

An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
For the lunatic Lefties and Wingnuts, this is a “Bible”. From someone who eventually lost an election, whined and wimpered until reportedly told to “shut up” by the USSC, we get this garbage unceremoniously dumped on the fools who would believe it. The subsequently spent on this book could go further elsewhere, like eventually stopping the warm air deluge from the Bush-Haters (aka, bitter losers)

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
Tim Flannery’s “The Weathermakers” is not only an powerful plea for the modern world to deal with the challenge of climate change, but provides the science desperately needed to understand this huge and central topic. The book is spooky great fun too, with frights and chills enough to get the interest of any thrill seeker. Except that the thrills now come from seriously contemplating near-irreversible global cataclysms that would wipe out humanity or make life darned near intolerable for us. Click to continue »

Climate Change: Observed impacts on Planet Earth

Climate Change: Observed impacts on Planet Earth – Review
I eventually chose this book due to concern in the ecological future of our world. This book consists of highly scientific articles that are backed up by detailed technical research. The authors are top educators and researchers from universities and institutes around the world. There are many particular tables, charts, formulae. equations, and some very colorful plates (at the back of the book). Being a health care provider, I’m familiar with research articles.

The Weather Book: An Easy-to-Understand Guide to the USA’s Weather

The Weather Book: An Easy-to-Understand Guide to the USA’s Weather – Review
Bits and members of weather are simply put together systematically. Never too brief. Never too technical. A must-read for all laymen interested in weather on earth. The text and colourful pictures briefly explain how the special weather systems form on earth. Though the book’s focus is on US weather, many of the theories, principles and processes described apply to other locations too.
