The Coming Global Superstorm

Rating:
Summary: Motley Fools
Review: After reading the book, checking sources, seeing the film more than once I have to say to all those who mock and laugh at the premise of the book that this is not a work of fiction, but, a record of Earth's geological past and what is to come. There have been many, many ice ages in earth's history most lasting for between 100,000 to 200,000 years, so, to those who laugh, do so at your own peril.

Summary: Could Melting Ice Break A Delicate Chain?
Review: Now that Y2K has come and gone, there's nothing to worry about -- right? Wrong, say radio talkshow host Art Bell and Whitley Strieber, author of alien-encounter bestsellers "Communion" and "Confirmation." Unless you have an unlimited supply of food and fuel and don't mind the prospect of shoveling 50 feet of snow from your driveway, you'll want to read "The Coming Global Superstorm." In it, the two argue the current global warming could actually trigger a new ice age by melting the polar ice caps and changing the course of warm ocean currents that control weather from Seattle to Stockholm. The pair intersperse their non-fiction account of what is happening with an engrossing fictional tale told through the eyes of a National Weather Service employee. He quietly moves his family to Texas while Europe and the northern United States are pretty much plunged into weather-related anarchy -- that is, the parts that survive. As a literary work, this isn't exactly Shakespeare. But it isn't intended to be. Citing everything to mainstream press accounts to scientific journals throughout their narrative, the two authors dare doubters to go to their sources and see the raw data for themselves. As a news reporter for a Midwestern daily, I have double-checked many of their sources for an upcoming article -- and I am frightened.

Review: Whitley Strieber??? Come on, abductions, implants, etc., this guy is a total JOKE! Now he is an expert on Global Warming? Holy Cow, the only one who is a bigger joke of a jackass is Al Gore, promoting this stupid book (and now an even dumber movie) as scientific fact.
