Book Description
"This is the rare book that tells it all with both easy to understand facts and data but also great humor, It is the rare science book that I would recommend for bedside reading." Jay Lehr Ph.D. Senior Policy Analyst, International Climate Science Coalition Ottawa, Canada ABOUT THIS BOOK: ICE AGE 2025 takes the reader step-by-step to TO 2025 when a new ICE AGE begins- In clear and interesting information, the book shows why this Ice Age will begin soon. Using NASA Langley Research Laboratory results, along with oceanographic events, and the results of solar science of Valinta Khorkova, we see clearly and in an interesting way, why we are headed into a new Ice Age. ICE AGE 2025 shows what the previous Ice Age during 1300 to 1800 was like for those who lived in that time. The problems it caused, and the problems we can expect this time. The effects now will be worse than in 1300 - 1800 because now we are dependent on things which the Ice Age will destroy.How to get American ready, and how to get country and your family ready. Amazing information in ICE AGE 2025 also shows how the Global Warming fraud uses Nazi propaganda and political power grab methods. These propaganda and power-grab actions, include both Stalinist and Nazi methods which are described in detail.. And how the Green New Deal is really the Green New Steal. It is an attempt to steal Life, Liberty and Happiness. It has nothing to do with climate. And everything to do with money and power. The Global Warming / Climate Change Caused By Human Activity is fraud, is a totalitarian movement. This amazing new book is a political and scientific bombshell. Every American can find it fascinating reading and benefit from it. Finally we have the political ammo to crush the totalitarian lies of the Democrat Party. Once you start reading you won't be able to put it down. It's thrilling reading. And a breath of fresh air.

Book Description
The Great Ice Age documents and explains the natural climatic and palaeoecologic changes that have occurred during the past 2.6 million years, outlining the emergence and global impact of our species during this period. Exploring a wide range of records of climate change, the authors demonstrate the interconnectivity of the components of the Earths climate system, show how the evidence for such change is obtained, and explain some of the problems in collecting and dating proxy climate data. One of the most dramatic aspects of humanity's rise is that it coincided with the beginnings of major environmental changes and a mass extinction that has the pace, and maybe magnitude, of those in the far-off past that stemmed from climate, geological and occasionally extraterrestrial events. This book reveals that anthropogenic effects on the world are not merely modern matters but date back perhaps a million years or more.

Book Description
"This is a highly readable account of the nature of ice ages throughout earth's history and the evolution of their scientific understanding since the introduction of the term by Louis Agassiz in the 1830s. The shifts in opinion on the merits of the various explanations of ice ages traced by Macdougall make fascinating reading."—Roger Barry, Director, National Snow and Ice Data Center "Frozen Earth is a thorough and compelling account of the history of ice on earth and of the scientists who uncovered the extraordinary role that ice ages have played in shaping our world."—Gabrielle Walker, author of Snowball Earth "A fascinating and important read."—Jack Repcheck, author of The Man Who Found Time "Macdougall takes us on a fascinating journey through the realm of ice age science. He deciphers some of the basic mysteries of the bitter climatic regimes that have gripped the earth in the past and will probably grip it again in the future. This engrossing book has important lessons for anyone concerned with global warming and future climatic change."—Brian Fagan, author of The Little Ice Age

Book Description
Only in the last decade have climatologists developed an accurate picture of yearly climate conditions in historical times. This development confirmed a long-standing suspicion: that the world endured a 500-year cold snap -- The Little Ice Age -- that lasted roughly from A.D. 1300 until 1850. The Little Ice Age tells the story of the turbulent, unpredictable and often very cold years of modern European history, how climate altered historical events, and what they mean in the context of today's global warming. With its basis in cutting-edge science, The Little Ice Age offers a new perspective on familiar events. Renowned archaeologist Brian Fagan shows how the increasing cold affected Norse exploration; how changing sea temperatures caused English and Basque fishermen to follow vast shoals of cod all the way to the New World; how a generations-long subsistence crisis in France contributed to social disintegration and ultimately revolution; and how English efforts to improve farm productivity in the face of a deteriorating climate helped pave the way for the Industrial Revolution and hence for global warming. This is a fascinating, original book for anyone interested in history, climate, or the new subject of how they interact.

Book Description
Scientists charged with producing a map of the earth during the last ice age ultimately confirmed the theory that the earth's irregular orbital motions account for the bizarre climatic changes which bring on ice ages. This book tells the story of those periods--what they were like, why they occurred, and when the next ice age is due.

Book Description
Global warming has been a news media hot topic for the last twenty years. Parts per million in the atmosphere of carbon dioxide rising constantly from many factors that continue to increase the risk. However, many scientists have overlooked a pattern that has existed for a very long time. Global cooling is another earth cycle that comes after global warming. Global cooling (ice age) is a replenishing of the earth and the next cycle we as humans are racing towards at an incredible speed.

Book Description
The author explores the causes of Earth's cyclical temperature changes and shows how those temperature shifts touch off a chain of events in the atmosphere, in the oceans and on land. Cold temperature was the trigger; and the resultant reduction in carbon dioxide, he argues, was the bullet that killed off so many species. The re-warming released more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and fueled a resurgence. This book provides significant long term background information to put global warming into perspective. In addition, the author describes the human responses to increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide after the last ice age and in the last 150 years. Near the end of the last ice age, atmospheric carbon dioxide was about half of what it is today. Due to the lack of carbon dioxide, most of the vegetation disappeared from the middle and high latitudes. Without plants to eat, many large animals became extinct; North America lost three-fourths of its large animals including the woolly mammoth, mastodon and saber tooth cat. Humans, too, had little to eat in these areas and their population declined dramatically. The book then explains how and why atmospheric carbon dioxide increased by about 50% after the last ice age ended, encouraging a population explosion among plants, animals and humans, all of which then migrated into many previously barren areas. More recently, the 28% increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide in the last 150 years has caused a six-fold increase in the human population. Changes in the next 300 years will reverse some of the current trends. This book has value for anyone interested in the ice age extinction; glaciers; the glacial cycle; the atmosphere and oceans and the past and future of plants, animals and humans. It provides long-term information on atmospheric carbon dioxide, global warming and cooling.

Book Description
A mesmerizing overview of the world as it was when glaciers covered the earth and long-extinct creatures like the woolly mammoths and saber-toothed cats battled to survive. Go back 20,000 years ago to a time of much colder global temperatures when glaciers and extensive sheets of ice covered much of our planet. As these sheets traveled, they caused enormous changes in the Earth's landscape and climate, leading to the evolution of creatures such as giant armadillos, saber-toothed cats, and woolly mammoths as well as club-wielding Neanderthals and later the cleverer modern humans. Nico Medina re-creates this harsh ancient world in a vivid and easy-to-read narrative.
