Help finding special global warming book (10 points for best answer)?

Question

For those who read the National Geographic article "Drying of the West". I need a book about the subject.

(For those who didn't read it) The article is about the drying forest of the United States. It says that the 20th century was very wet and during that time the people populated the West. The 21st century is getting hotter and drier and the trees are dying and the water levels are falling. That's the article in a nutshell.

So I need a link to a site about a book like that. And please no just global warming books, this book has to be especially about the drying of America.

Thank you so much for any help that you can offer!

Answer 1

Perhaps... another Reference!

ONCE AGAIN....

Global Warming MEANS "World Wide Warming!" It is ONLY A Political Term = NOT based in Real Science!

The EARTH is covered by "Three Quarters WATER!" Basic Science, it takes ONE-Btu to raise One Cubic Centimeter ONE Degree Centigrade!

HOW many "Gazillion Cubic Centimeters are there ONLY on the Surface of Planet Earth COVERED by 3/4 Water?"

HOW many Btu's would it take TO RAISE THE SURFACE TEMPERATURE ONE DEGREE?

DO THE MATH!

And, were are the Million TEMPERATURE MEASURING SITES on the Many Oceans THAT TELL US THAT THE OCEAN TEMPERATURES ARE RISING? Not!

Oh yes, POLAR temperatures have varied LESS Than one degree in the past 100-Years. Noticed I said VARIED, = NOT RISEN!

Thanks, RR



The theory of man-made global warming is false. Anyone who believes otherwise has not investigated the evidence or is purposely remaining ignorant to the legitimate opposition to global warming. I have given up an one and a half hours to watch “An Inconvenient Truth” so I ask you to do the same and watch the movie detailing the opposition.

Another general resource: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/global_warm...

CO2 is not causing the globe to warm the opposite is true, the warming is increasing the atmospheric CO2. When the world heats it gradually increases the temperature of the oceans which serve as the largest CO2 sink. As the oceans heat up they release CO2 which is stored in them. The information comes from the same data Al Gore uses, the temperature always goes up before the concentration of CO2 goes up.

http://www.lavoisier.com.au/papers/artic...

CO2 makes up only .03% of our atmosphere. Water vapor, another greenhouse gas, makes up 1-4% of our atmosphere, this gas is acknowledged to be the main greenhouse gas. All human activities combined contribute only 6 Gigatons of CO2 to the atmosphere each year. Animals, through respiration, decomposition, etc contribute 150 Gigatons of CO2 to the atmosphere. So humans contribute only a small amount of CO2 to the atmosphere which is already in very small concentrations in the atmosphere.

http://oco.jpl.nasa.gov/science.html... This is where my data came from, it is an interesting site, it displays the same graphics as Al Gore in his movie but it tells how low the human contribution is. So Al Gore is using the same data but coming to a different conclusion, who do you want to believe a politician with no scientific training or the NASA CO2 laboratory, a group of scientists who spend their entire careers studying CO2.

We know the greenhouse effect is real it is a necessary effect to keep our planet at a habitable temperature. However if our current warming is due to greenhouse gasses it would cause warming in the troposphere , but the troposphere is actually getting cooler.

http://wwwghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/temperature... That points to other explanations to our current warming.

So what is causing our current warming, it is the sun.

The fact that only the earth’s surface is warming points to direct heating from the sun rather than heating due to greenhouse gasses. Also other planets in our solar system are warming pointing to a common cause of warming, that common cause being the sun.

The global warming crowd says our glaciers are melting and animals will suffer this is another false claim.

When Rivers Run Dry: water the defining crisis of the twenty-first century

By Fred Pearce

Answer 3

Well, I believe global warming is a bunch of nonsense, but to help you out, why not try going to Amazon.com and/or BarnesandNoble.com.  Also try Borders book store.  Barnes and Noble are very good - have books on practically anything you want in any category.  I would give Amazon.com a try, too - best of luck to you.

Answer 4

I have read a book called the 21st Century Earth and it showed the events yet to come.

Its said that the oil companies take every ounce of the oil in the earth and the wells run dry;after 50 years,2058,the ice caps disappear and the oceans have covered 1/3 of the US.South of North America everything is underwater even Floridas gone for goodness sakes.

this is a theory of mine from the book.

Austin the Wise has spoken.

Answer 5

That's life. The climate changes. Nothing we can do about it. And overall, vegetation on the North American Continent is increasing. It's only some specific parts that are drying like that. Anyways. Try books.com

Answer 6

Try the fiction section of a library for information on global warming.

Answer 7

Though not a book, the following link will provide you with some excellent information on drought in North America:
