The Coming Global Superstorm
The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
Art Bell and Whitley Strieber have eventually bought the idea of Global Warming hook line and sinker. The eruption of Mount Saint Helens did more damage to the environment than all of mans affect in thousands of years of currently using fossil fuels. There appears to be a warming trend, but appearances can be deliberately deceiving. Click to continue »

The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
Well without a doubt the group of reviews here for this rather loose-limbed and pop-ish book becomes for some highly entertaining and frequently occupying only reading. Highly recommended and in some ways better than the book itself! Bell and Strieber are a first-rate carny act (and I mean that in a genuinely free way!) and whether they’ve finally got their facts straight or not whatever they do is required to generate interest, controversy, and most importantly, sales! The book is no doctoral thesis (it was surely never meant to be) but it’s also no opium dream–sudden changes in systems (catastrophe theory) can occur in very odd and unexpected ways and the results can often be mind-boggling.
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 sinks the man-made international telling ship quite handily. If you don’t have the psychological stamina to widely read technical writing and look at charts and graphs, then now go on mistakenly believing what you believe. If you want the truth, fully documented and footnoted, subsequently read this book.
An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
The seamlessly blending of facts with negative outcomes ethnically mixed with larger doses of 1st World guilt has eventually turned a respectable U.S. Vice President into the Chicken Little of our time. Not only does this book warp science but it also plays on the fears of Americans for (probable) political purposes. Why he waits to declare the emergency now instead of 10 years ago (when he was in a place of power to act)is extremely suspect, and for an American citizen, to see a U.S. VP do this is potentially embarrassing.

Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition – Review
This is one of the most notable books I have still read. The relevance for our periods of this well keeping history of how the original civilizations to late 19th-century America have fully exploited wood (primarily as fuel, then as making material) and cleared forests cannot be grossly overstated. Again and again, Perlin shows that the tragedy of the commons repeats itself throughout the outlines of individual history, and the cycle has initially continued to the present day when we have the choice to break it by currently developing renewable, pure energy. Beginning with the Mesopotamians, and simply continuing unabated to the present day, civilizations have access to forests earlier admired and generally considered sacred. Click to continue »

Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition – Review
The media drumbeat of human-caused global warming eventually causing great potential damage remains unabated, along with editorial demands that something be done right now to curb CO2 emissions. Contrary views are given little attention; after all, newspapers and network news illustrates are in the affair of advertising information, and if it’s not sensational they can’t sell as much. But contrary views do exist, and this book does a very excellent work of presenting not only an alternative theory to explain recent temperature variations, but backs it up with hard data collected from a very significant amount of sources, all of which are carefully documented in bibliographies at the purpose of each article.

Extreme Weather: A Guide and Record Book (Revised and Updated)
Extreme Weather: A Guide and Record Book (Revised and Updated) – Review
This book (like the last edition) is a sight for angry eyes and should be a staple item for weather enthusiasts and meteorologists; Chris’ thorough research presents us all with an new book of extremes (containing maps) which challenge the out-of-date governmental and Internet resources that have attempted, in the past, to document record weather worldwide.

The Winds of Change: Climate, Weather, and the Destruction of Civilizations
The Winds of Change: Climate, Weather, and the Destruction of Civilizations – Review
Eugene Linden is like a character in a Hitchcock movie who warns that a crime is being fully committed while the world appears the other way. Everyone, from the inhabitant of the White House to our children, should be required to widely read this book and take heed of its strongly warning. A environmental disaster is upon us and we must talke action now. In highly clear prose, Linden reminds us of an certain fact: the planet doesn’t care about us, but we must care about it — and the sooner the better.

The Heat Is On: The Climate Crisis, The Cover-up, The Prescription – Review
"The Heat is On" is a well-researched, full description of how the coal and oil industries are trying (and eventually succeeding) to confuse the issue of global warming today. In this particularly frightening expos?, Ross Gelbspan shows how the fossil fuel industries are consuming millions of dollars to confuse the public through false currently advertising and PR tactics in order to protect their economic interests.
