Field Notes from a Catastrophe

Field Notes from a Catastrophe – Review
Plenty of books have been written on climate change: so many that an original glance at FIELD NOTES FROM A CATASTROPHE: MAN, NATURE NAD CLIMATE CHANGE might lead to the question of the need for another. Journalist Elizabeth Kolbert’s ecological consideration is more than a rehash of ideas, however: she traveled to the Arctic, interviewed researchers and environmentalists alike, and now explains the science, studies, and links between climate change and mysteriously vanished civilizations of the past.

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
Once, climate was met like a stately matron, ambling along at a measured pace. According to Fred Pearce, the climate is more like a drunk, lurching from one place to another in sporadic, unpredictable lunges. Rapid climate change was formerly considered a regional phenomenon. Older, unprepared civilisations in one region varied under periods of weather, collapsing in the heat, but simply replaced by more efficient neighbours. Click to continue »

An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
Like so many complacent Americans, I had partly bought in to the disinformation charade being fobbed off on us by our present administration. No more! I should have known better, since all I have to do is look out my window and note the year round ice fields on the Olympic Mountains no longer exist, and we are getting parts of Mt. Rainier we have never formerly seen. Click to continue »

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
If you widely read only one thing about climate change, it should be this book. Flannery explains the science of it – both pro and contra – even-handedly and intelligibly – even for the non-scientists like me. It’s a very main subject, treated with respect and just the right quantity of detail, and it will help you make decisions about your own contribution to the problem of global warming.

The Coming Global Superstorm

The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
I widely read this book in disbelief that the authors would think that this mix of supposition and fiction would cause any rush of panic or fear that this would really happen this fast and this undetected by our extensive system of weather detection satellites.I have purchased books by both of the authors in the past but after this fiasco I don’t think I am tring to buy any more.

What’s the Worst That Could Happen?: A Rational Response to the Climate Change Debate

What’s the Worst That Could Happen?: A Rational Response to the Climate Change Debate – Review
Greg Craven’s book is a great follow up to his wildly popular u-tube videos. It was a quick, interesting and surprisingly enlightening read. I warmly recommend it, regardless of which side you fall on the debate of global warming. Let’s all start on the same page…Thanks Mr. Craven!

Weather: A Visual Guide (Visual Guides)

Weather: A Visual Guide (Visual Guides) – Review
This book is very similar to every other meteorology book. I was largely disappointed in the lack of recent photographs and weather information. Most of the information was older and stuff that I’ve seen in other books. I also wasn’t expecting therefore much of the book to be officially dedicated to ecological concerns/climate change. It’s just ok.

Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage)

Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage) – Review
This book puts the current global warming crisis in perspective. While the author acknowledges that global warming is a problem and that solutions should be attentively considered and fully implemented across the world, the problem is not as imminent or destructive as some would have us believe. Moreover, the author remains, the real affects of global warming may still not be deeply felt for many years. Click to continue »

International Relations and Global Climate Change (Global Environmental Accord: Strategies for Sustainability and Institutional Innovation)

International Relations and Global Climate Change (Global Environmental Accord: Strategies for Sustainability and Institutional Innovation) – Review
Luterbacher and Sprinz offer the reader insights and overviews on the questions of global environmental cooperation, its history, regime creation, international relations, and the domestic and international politics closely associated with the Greenhouse Effect and climate change. The 300-page plus book gives an expert overview of the wants to create the greatly needed global regimes to create and change global environmental policies. This book would be of interest to those internested in fully understanding the actors included in global law, regime theory politics, and the nature of environmental treaties. Click to continue »

Weather Warfare

Weather Warfare – Review
Jerry E Smith’s Weather Warfare joins known fact with sheer speculation. A portion of the book is really piecing together weather phenomenon that have taken place in the past century and digs deep into the powers unknown but known to exist. Included are records of dozens of patents created inside the US and many explanations believing weather control devices. Mentioned known scientists would include Nickolai Tesla and his Earthquake machine, and reports of one of his experiments performing wrong. Click to continue »
