Bjorn Lomborg is an intelligent man. He does get a lot of things right. But be wary of his fact-twisting and deception with numbers. Many of the quotes used are taken completely out of context. For more information, check out this link: http://www.lomborg-errors.dk/coolit.htm

2.Nuclear Energy Now: Why the Time Has Come for the World's Most Misunderstood Energy Source by: Alan M. Herbst, George W. Hopley March 23, 2007

"Nuclear Energy Now" is an excellent book about the present status of nuclear power. Its starting point is the realization that increasing amounts of carbon dioxide emissions are causing global warming and climate change. Combustion of fossil fuels is producing this chemically very stable and optically active gas. There seems to be only one effective way to stop its accumulation in the atmosphere; we must stop all fossil fuel combustion! The industrial revolution of the last two centuries has made many nations and its citizens very prosperous. The ready availability of huge amounts of inexpensive energy facilitated this burst of industrial activity. World economies have become utterly dependent on the unlimited supply of electricity, heating gases, and transportation fuels. "Nuclear ... Read More

3.Climate Confusion: How Global Warming Hysteria Leads to Bad Science, Pandering Politicians and Misguided Policies that Hurt the Poor by: Roy Spencer March 27, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $21.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $14.93 You Save: $7.02 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $13.99
IT IS VERY TROUBLING TO DISCOVER THAT 78 REVIEWS HAVE VANISHED. ACCESS TO INFORMATION SEEMS TO BE "MANAGED" AND THIS RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT WHO IS DOING IT AND WHY? AT THIS POINT ALL I CAN DO IS TO RE-POST MY REVIEW OF MARCH 31, 2008 AND PROTEST THE ACTIONS OF CENSORSHIP OF AN INDIVIDUAL OR SOME ORGANIZATION. I read Roy Spencer's book, Climate Confusion, this weekend. I don't know Dr. Spencer personally but I have followed his work and I've had some occasional email exchanges with him. I have found him to be the kind of personable ("really nice") guy with whom I would love to have a beer and discuss a wide variety of different topics. This book just magnifies that feeling by at least two orders of magnitude. The book was an easy read but it was not exactly what I had expected. But that certainly ... Read More

4.Nuclear Energy in the 21st Century: World Nuclear University Press by: Ian Hore-Lacy September 22, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $30.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $27.85 You Save: $3.10 (10%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $23.93
Ian Hore-Lacy has written a brilliant introduction to nuclear power in "Nuclear Energy in the 21st Century". The book is written for a generalist audience with an interest in nuclear energy issues. It is both comprehensible and comprehensive, a very difficult task given the complexity of the subject matter. The book is extremely well illustrated, and always provides all necessary background information before delving into deeper subjects: a firm foundation is provided for any reader regardless of their previous knowledge level about nuclear energy. The book discusses energy demands of the future and the potential role of nuclear power in meeting those demands. The nuclear fuel cycle is fully explained from mining uranium through disposal of high level nuclear waste. Hore-Lacy's presentations argue powerfully ... Read More

5.Economic Facts and Fallacies by: Thomas Sowell December 31, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $26.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $17.16 You Save: $8.84 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $15.80
Easy to understand, EVERYONE needs to read this book. Once again, Sowell exposes the fallacies (as he calls them) of many social and economic perceptions pushed by the Left. His points are simple and extremely relevant, backed up by several dozen factual references for each chapter. Perfect gift for your friends who refuse to concede the failures of Big Government social policies! This book should be a staple in your library.

7.Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition by: S. Fred Singer, Dennis T. Avery January 25, 2008

I needed some rationality to counter the one-sided, "it's all your fault" propaganda my child was constantly receiving in school, and this book is the answer. (For her, I bought "The Sky is NOT Falling", another great book.) Read this book and make up your own mind....but if you have even the slightest gut feeling that you are being "had" by the Al Gore crowd...or if you have lived long enough to remember "global cooling" doomsday scenarios back in the '70's, I would highly recommend this book. Is "global climate change" happening? Sure. Is it man's fault? Not so much. Could we be doing better things with our time/effort/energy to improve the world's biggest problems? Absolutely.

8.The Deniers: The World Renowned Scientists Who Stood Up Against Global Warming Hysteria, Political Persecution, and Fraud**And those who are too fearful to do so by: Lawrence Solomon April 01, 2008

This book may be judging from the "quotes" the author uses to publicize it. They are all easy to google, but start with this one. here is his version of David Bromwich: "It's hard to see a global warming signal from the mainland of Antarctica right now." Here's what Bromwich actually said: "It's hard to see a global warming signal from the mainland of Antarctica right now," he said. "Part of the reason is that there is a lot of variability there. It's very hard in these polar latitudes to demonstrate a global warming signal. This is in marked contrast to the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula that is one of the most rapidly warming parts of the Earth." Uh..... Putting the sceintists aside, anyone who claims that human activity involving the release of carbon-based ... Read More

9.The Environmental Case for Nuclear Power: Economic, Medical, and Political Considerations by: Robert C. Morris June 26, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $16.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $11.53 You Save: $5.42 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $8.85
This fact filled, convincing, and well researched book eloquently explains why we must start using Nuclear Power more extensively at the same time as it dispels many of the misunderstandings and myths surrounding Nuclear Power. Robert Morris is clearly not a fan of antinuclear activists, however, he understands the immense damage they have caused our Nation and to our children and grand children. Nuclear Power is without any doubt the most powerful, the safest, and environmentally the cleanest viable energy source in existence. However, antinuclear activists have scared the wits out of the public for decades by disseminating deceitful propaganda, superstition and outright lies. According to Ralph Nader and other antinuclear activists nuclear plant accidents would kill many hundreds of thousands of people; they spread radiation and ... Read More

10.The Really Inconvenient Truths: Seven Environmental Catastrophes Liberals Don't Want You to Know About--Because They Helped Cause Them by: Iain Murray April 22, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $27.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $18.45 You Save: $9.50 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $15.43
Murray's work, "The Really Inconvenient Truths: Seven Environmental Catastrophes Liberals Don't Want You to Know About--Because They Helped Cause Them", does a superb job of revealing the deep interplay of politics in the environmental debate. Murray illustrates, through sources readily available but often bypassed by mainstream media, how environmentalists distort the truths they purport to represent, and how politics guides which causes they select to represent or ignore. My eyes were opened reading about documented genetic damage caused by hormones flushed into the water supply via millions of birth control pills. The media silence on that issue is scandalous, but unsurprising given the implications of a genuine investigation into the problem. Murray shows methodically how politicians subverted genuine experts with policies disguised ... Read More
