From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
Anyone who thinks the Antarctica records prove Global Warming is false only need to look up the effects of B-15 that calved off the Ice shelf and blocked the water circulation for a few years not too long ago. The blockage itself was massive proof that sudden chenges in local areas can have major effects in far reaching regions as well as devastating results on local wildlife.
I spent 4 years working on the Ice and was a skeptic to begin with, after seeing raw data and having the chance to sit and talk with researchers concerning the planets 7,000 year cycle and many others that bring warm and cold spells to the lands. We have had ice ages which were sparked by outside factors NOT factors happening because the Earth froze for no reason. If the next El Nino destroys counties from AL to OR will we say that it was simply a cycle that makes it many hudreds of times more destructive than any other in recorded history? Ice records are recorded history written without bias.
