From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
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.
