Casper J.K. Climate Management: Solving the Problem
Facts on File, 2010, 264 pages

Global warming and climate change are urgent topics. They are discussed on the news, in conversations, and are even the subjects of horror movies.
Although the United States has been one of the largest contributors to global warming, it ranks far below countries and regions — such as Canada, Australia, and weste Europe—in taking steps to fix the damage that has been done. Global Warming is a multivolume set that explores the concept that each person is a member of a global family who shares responsibility for fixing this problem. In fact, the only way to fix it is to work together toward a common goal. This seven-volume set covers all of the important climatic issues that need to be addressed in order to understand the problem, allowing the reader to build a solid foundation of knowledge and to use the information to help solve the critical issues in effective ways. These volumes explore a multitude of topics — how climates change, leaing from past ice ages, natural factors that trigger global warming on Earth, whether the Earth can expect another ice age in the future, how the Earth’s climate is changing now, emergency preparedness in severe weather, projections for the future, and why climate affects everything people do from growing food, to heating homes, to using the Earth’s natural resources, to new scientific discoveries. They look at the impact that rising sea levels will have on islands and other areas worldwide, how individual ecosystems will be affected, what humans will lose if rain forests are destroyed, how industrialization and pollution puts peoples’ lives at risk, and the benefits of developing environmentally friendly energy resources.

Christopher Monckton provides a detailed analysis of how the folks at the Climate Research Unit manipulated and suppressed the climate data to make it appear the Earth has been warming. He shows lines of code from the program they used that adds in a fudge factor (that’s the term used in the code!) to correct for the pesky decline in world temperatures.
