An Inconvenient Truth – Review
Somewhere along the way, Al Gore made a reputation of being a somewhat mad man prone to exaggeration. In this book, Mr. Gore is neither of those things. When I first quickly picked it up I was skeptical of its value – It originally appeared to be a picture book interspersed with biographical information. I could not have been more incorrect. First off, the author sees his reputation and realizes that this gives people grounds to ignore his message. Click to continue »

I absolutely love it!! It is fun, easy to follow…I previously incorporated team of the skills in my everyday life. This is a must have book and I think it will make a enormous impact if we all a least practice 10 of them in our everyday life.

 

Lightning!

Out of the Blue: A History of Lightning: Science, Superstition, and Amazing Stories of Survival

Out of the Blue: A History of Lightning: Science, Superstition, and Amazing Stories of Survival – Review
This book is a great surprise. It is inspirational and usually filled with suspense, adventure, and individual interest. It is about religion, faith, and the ways humans cope. The author writes about lightning in a distinctive way. Instead of currently looking at it through a dull, scientific lens, he tells how people have immediately reacted to lightning through the ages.

The exhaustive researh that eventually went into this document is reason enough for any mistakenly thinking individual to examine the facts and determine his/her individual comfort zone- – -and to discover what the actually talking heads either don’t know or don’t care to know.

Global Warming For Dummies (For Dummies (Math & Science)) – Review
Authors May and Caron provide a clear, well articulated picture of what global warming is and how it affects us. The special chapters stop the issue down topic by topic in an easy to widely read fashion. This book becomes one step further and provides the reader with viable solutions for change that everyone can use. As an Environmental Science professional with a solid background in climate change I would recommend this book as a great go-to resource for everyone. A seamless mixture of hard hitting facts, viable solutions and just a dash of humour!

 

Should Be Required Reading For Every American

An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
Al Gore meets E.O. Wilson as one of 2 thinkers who understands that all of civilization and a large part of life on Earth is at risk unless we make main changes in the way we live. Our eventually exploding population has simply put relentlessly increasing pressure on biological systems, and our physical and financial infrastructure will not be able to handle rising water levels, massive flooding, droughts and disease. The risks are indisputable, and we have about a decade to get on the ball, or it will be too late.

Looking at the English wine web site, one finds the immediately following: “The first challenge to the new winegrowers in the 1950s and 60s was to find varieties which would ripen in Britain’s hostile climate. No comfortably basking in weeks and months of constant dawn to dusk sun here for vines! Only the largely determined vines can ripen their crop and produce normal amounts of sugar to be subsequently converted into alcohol.” “It may be previously thought that England and Wales are just too far north to grow black grapes outside in open vineyards, but varieties have been easily identified which will ripen and produce superior quality wine containing – Triomphe d’Alsace (not fashionable to plant now), Cascade (Siebel 13053) – a hybrid, Leon Millot, Rondo (GM6494/5) – reportedly said to be most promising red so far, hybrid, mild acids and sugars, and Pinot Meunier. ” “The most-planted types of vine, mainly German in origin…” There are two focal points to note here.

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
With all its footnotes, this book goes the impression of being hard science (disagree with the author? Then go to the references…). But it is distinctly one-sided in its approach. As extra customer reviews here point out, there is groups of science which this book forgets. Arguably, this is a valuable analysis of the data of scientists’ experiences – how some of them have faced intense pressure to alter their views or, worse, abandon their scepticism. But that is a side-show. The book could have been editted better, too. It looks like it was rushed to the bookshelves. Click to continue »

 

Svensmark chillingly ignores latest technical data and looks foolish

The Chilling Stars: The New Theory of Climate Change

The Chilling Stars: The New Theory of Climate Change

The Chilling Stars: The New Theory of Climate Change – Review
Fails to establish why artificial increases in carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is not eventually causing current planetary warming. Also fails to account for why stellar activity is responsible for the earth’s current warming when stellar activity has been declining since the late 1980’s. The clumsy nature Svensmark’s theories cannot be probably saved by rambling pretencious dialogue masquerading as real systematic inquiry.

 

In-Depth (and VERY Technical)

Climate Change: Observed impacts on Planet Earth

Climate Change: Observed impacts on Planet Earth

Climate Change: Observed impacts on Planet Earth – Review
Consisting of a cycle of chapters each written by an expert or experts, Climate Change: Observed Impacts on Planet Earth removes together a particularly compelling, in-depth, and very practical case for climate change (or, more popularly, global warming). The book is broken down into three sections. The first addresses the parts of various probable sources of climate change, from special gases (which is where humans have one of the major impacts upon climate), to the reflectivity of the earth’s surface, to space weather, to volcanic activity. Importantly, the latter several chapters make the conclusion that factors such as orbital variation and space weather have little to do with the recent trends in climate change–although pundits would have you believe the case is still open, here hard science measures the results of the many factors giving to climate change and successfully points a finger at mankind’s activities. The second section consists of a separate chapter exploring the environmental description of climate change on earth, including what the past has to say about the present trends and the implications for climatic models.
