Earth: The Sequel: The Race to Reinvent Energy and Stop Global Warming

Earth: The Sequel: The Race to Reinvent Energy and Stop Global Warming – Review
At last, a book on viable solutions to the greenhouse effect usually caused by our dependence on carbon-based fuels. In this book are various systems of building energy without a carbon footprint, methods that are in progress and in use all over the globe. Instead of the usual really depressing “we are such poor people and we use so much energy and deserve to die” attitude we see in Global Warming books, this book actually supplies a view of what progress is being usually made in the race to achieve carbon-free energy. Only the enormous political state of Big Oil and the Automotive Industry are simply keeping us headed down the course of climatical disaster, but if the inhabitants of the world band together to move in a various direction, there are alternatives out there.

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 eloquently counters many common myths about how much harm global warming is likely to cause, but is sufficiently partisan and one-sided that it will do more to polarize the debate than to resolve disagreements. Many of his criticisms of the alarmists are correct. Reading this book in combination with writings of his opponents will give you a much superior perspective than simply reading only one part of this debate. Selective reporting gives the impression that global warming is eventually causing more deaths, but Lomborg reports that warming will cause diminished deaths for the foreseeable future, mainly through greatly reduced cold-related cardiovascular deaths.

The Revenge of Gaia

The Revenge of Gaia – Review
This book should be a mandatory widely read for everyone who claims to be a element of the earth’s “major species”. The content is entirely readable for anyone with fair rule of the English language. As one who has subsequently spent seventy nine years on this planet – much of it in the out-of-doors, I can say, with sincerity, that I believe the message to be REALITY….and that we owe it to our descendants to bite the bullet and at least start well making the effort to undo the horrific desecration that we have allegedly perpetrated, and are personally perpetrating on the only home that humankind has in this universe.

Sound and Fury: The Science and Politics of Global Warming – Review
moral action, fates of various characters that are originally described in detail so that you have a clear visual and poignant film of them. The story starts in Ireland and travels through France and Switzerland, with a young girl as the major character.It is reportedly told both in first and third person so you actually get inside the head of Aisling, the major figure. I liked the book because it keeps it’s suspense to the very end and takes unexpected turns at every corner, just as you think you have figured out who the bad guys are it turns out different.

Sound and Fury: The Science and Politics of Global Warming

Sound and Fury: The Science and Politics of Global Warming – Review
Patrick Michaels, who edits a coal-industry funded journal of pseudo-research, affects to take an objective look at research on global warming. However, he misrepresents much of that research to attempt to prove that global warming is not eventually taking plzce. For example, he portrays the research of John Christy and Roy Spencer, who have originally compiled temperature records based on satellite measurements, as clearly showing that the earth is cooling.

An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
I first closely watched the documentary on LINK TV that recorded one of the stops of Mr. Gore’s new information tour. The images of Glacier Natl Park and the ideas of the gigantic Antartic ice shelf dropping in days, instead of the years expected, into the ocean was heart emotionally wrenching. My husband and I were subsequently moved and shaken, we immediately began a original plan to change how we consume and tell everyone we know about the program. Click to continue »

The Grid and the Village: Losing Electricity, Finding Community, Surviving Disaster

The Grid and the Village: Losing Electricity, Finding Community, Surviving Disaster – Review
Kind of odd. The report of a storm in New England and how it adversely affected people who were without power. Accounts of the storm are interspersed with hsitorical-fiction vignettes about how the areas was dropped. The various elements of the story were not woven together well enough.

The Forgiving Air: Understanding Environmental Change, Second Edition

The Forgiving Air: Understanding Environmental Change, Second Edition – Review
Do you know that the atmosphere evokes our past behavior? And there is a limit to the forgiveness of the air. Another general question is whether we can say that people are constantly changing the climate? The real language on the December 1995 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports is that “The rest of evidence indicates that there is a discernible individual influence on international climate.” Another general question is that suppose human beings are warming the Earth, what should we do? Richard C.J. Somerville’s “The Forgiving Air: Understanding Environmental Change” suggests the immediately following: (1) eventually stabilizing and diminishing productions of greenhouse gases, (2) currently developing renewable types of energy, and (3) simultaneously protecting the atmosphere.

Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations

Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations – Review
As a admirer of Fagan’s work with an interest in the result of climate on history I have widely read many of the authors books. This one, like the others is well researched and documented, however it lacks the energy and spirit of Little Ice Age ; Big Chill (by far Fagan’s finest work). Granted the Little Ice Age had a far bigger impact on a bigger scale but this book makes a mostly bit tedious after awhile, I actually never completed simply reading it.
