If Global Warming Doesn't Make Your Blood Boil, This Book About It Will!

Boiling Point: How Politicians, Big Oil and Coal, Journalists and Activists Are Fueling the Climate Crisis--and What We Can Do to Avert Disaster (Hardcover)
By Ross Gelbspan
BuzzFlash.com's Review (excerpt)
Al Gore wrote of "Boiling Point":

"The blend of passionate advocacy and lucid analysis that Ross Gelbspan brings to this, his second book about global warming, is extremely readable because the author's voice is so authentic . Gelbspan's point is a powerful one and is well argued. And he has, in any case, performed a great service by writing an informative book on a difficult but crucial subject."

If you are mad as Hell about global warming and the threat the Busheviks are doing to planet earth, this is the book for you.

Once again, BuzzFlash has procured some of the few remaining hardcover copies of the book at a reduced cost to our readers, including free postage.

Publishers Weekly describes "Boiling Part" as a call to arms on climate change and a denunciation of all those who have worked to confuse the public about the harmful legacy global warming is creating:

"Gelbspan, a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist, offers no less than a call to arms in this treatise on how global warming is a threat and how it can be avoided. Gelbspan expands the argument about global warming: not only is the current U.S. administration to blame, but journalists and activists are as well. Journalists, he says, are culpable because they are minimizing the story; activists, while well-meaning, are so busy trying to form alliances and make compromises that they lose sight of a problem that Gelbspan believes could ultimately compromise the planet.

"Gelbspan writes clearly, and he argues that Republican members of Congress have latched onto theories of the few scientists who don't believe that global warming is a major problem. He lays out three of the plans being discussed to attack the problem, as well as one of his own (which focuses on changing energy subsidies from fossil fuels to alternative energy sources, funding the transfer of renewable energy sources to developing countries and greatly tightening emission standards). But at times, he adopts an apocalyptic tone—the first sentence of his first chapter contains the words, "global climate change is threatening to spiral out of control"—and that may limit this work to true believers."

Who is it that Bush had edit almost all of the report on warming?

It is in the movie, but I forget?

Say all they will about it is or it isn't, but it is no doubt that Bush had a lawyer change a scientific report to tone down the impact to nill.

I don't see how the repugs can just drive blind right by that blatant attempt to lie and conceal. If it is not happening, why did ya have to edit with a sword???

Yet they are Master's at the side step!

Hey oleblueraider!

Wayne, you're just too polite.
'Human' scum?

:lol: Yes, I am known for my politeness and delicate phrasing so that I don't ever offend or come across too harshly. :blink:

The individual in this instance took actions that betrayed his duties as a public servant, withheld the truth from the American people, and endangered the survival of life on earth as we know it. And then went to work for ExxonMobil.

So, I had to refrain from calling him POND-SCUM :blink:

Wayne you would have insulted the pond scum Im afraid
