Short description

The effects of climate change and global warming concerns everyone and many people are becoming worried about the possibility of melting ice caps causing sea levels to rise.Do wind farms solve all the problems? This book endeavours to explain (without being too technical) the different reasons for climate change, and also the difference between naturally occurring and man-made climate change.

Extended description

The effects of Climate Change involves everyone, no matter if they they are natives gathered around a log fire or an executive driving a ‘Gas-Guzzling’ car. The contribution that carbon dioxide (CO2) makes to climate change is actually unclear, however if this heavier than air gas behaved in a manner that many would have us believe then there just would not be enough carbon dioxide to produce the amount of oxygen required for the 7 billion population of this planet to be able to breathe.

The fact that water vapour is more significant a greenhouse gas than CO2 is ignored by many, partly because it is assumed to be almost totally natural rather than a mixture of natural and man made like CO2. Should we actually ignore water vapour when it automatically reduces the greenhouse gas role of CO2 to below (perhaps very much below) 50%?

Expensive wind farms are being built to try and reduce carbon dioxide emissions but there is also a suggestion that they could also contribute to clima..

Expensive wind farms are being built to try and reduce carbon dioxide emissions but there is also a suggestion that they could also contribute to climate change by altering wind patterns and changing the ‘Jet-Stream’

Everyone should read this book to get a greater understanding of all the implications of carbon dioxide and climate change.

Review by: Soldim Ekhard on July 24, 2012 :
This book, from the blurb and first paragraph of the introduction seems to aim at informing the reader about different aspects of climate change. After that introductory paragraph however, the book turns into a chaotic written rant against 'Global Warming Zealots' and science. While reading the following chapters, it's clear that the author neither grasps the basics of chemistry, physics and biology nor has studied the many reports and observations with regards to climate change in any depth.

I was deeply disappointed by this book, and would not recommend anybody truly interested in Climate Change and the different points of view to purchase this book.
