Customer Review: And there you have it - the fundamental argument is "this is just fact, no matter what the facts say".
A prior review states: "I also can't help noticing what feels like a coordinated attack based on a single technical error, as if that discredited the FUNDAMENTAL SCIENCE behind this book's premise, WHICH NO SERIOUS SCIENTISTS DOUBTS." (Caps added for emphasis.) The global-warming koolaid drinkers will just keep repeating the mantra that "man-made global warming is a proven fact" over and over again, and referring to the hundreds of highly-credentialed experts in the field who disagree with that fundamental premise as something OTHER THAN "serious scientists". I'm all in favor of being good stewards of our earth, but this kind of unsupported (and unsupportable) attack on the vast volume of evidence that isn't in lock-step with the agenda of the global warming theorists is pure propaganda. A scientifically legitimate book would consider both sides of the argument.
Customer Review: AGW Indoctrination for (Children of ) Dummies
Apparently, freedom of speech also means freedom to wantonly propagandize children. The chart is only one of many misrepresentations or omissions of the science of global warming which, since 1998, is now cooling. Children can accept truth, but this book doesn't present much of it. The earth's climate is presented as static and unchanging (except for us darn humans & those flatulent bovines), contrary to acknowledging climate change as the dynamic force that it is; moving the climate of the earth between ice ages and climate optimums. (Though this change is constantly trending either warmer or cooler, it proceeds at such a snails pace to us short lived humans that we tend think of it as being stable.) The book proceeds from the assumption that all that needs to be known about global warming already is, that it is a given that humans are overwhelming an otherwise perpetually stable global climate. It's the kid version of 'the debate is over' without saying so directly but carries on with the pervasive assumption of it being so, from the first page to the last. If, as an adult, you can't be bothered to educate yourself by learning the facts of AGW first to see & understand how lacking and slanted this little tome is and don't care if you passively contribute to retard development of critical thinking of the children in your life, buy them this book and help perpetuate the mainstream 'dumbing down' of the next generation. But, if you want your child to be at the head of the class in their understanding of the science in climate change (and your own as well), you might try "The Sky is Not Falling" as a more balanced presentation of global warming.
Do you know what is guaranteed to be at the top of every kids Christmas list this year? Bakugan Toys! Yes there is a new toy craze in town and every kid from here to the Philippines wants it! Bakugan mania is in full storm in the US! Toys R Us can't keep these toys in stock, they sell out as fast as they are putting them on the shelves. There are national tournaments being hosted by Toys R US, and Activison has even signed on to make a Bakugan Video Game. But what exactly are these popular Bakugan Brawlers and why are they so popular?
Remember when you were a kid and you had the biggest collection of marbles in your neighborhood? Well, imagine if those marbles transformed into robots and monsters when you rolled them, springing to action with hidden magnets when they hit the field? That's pretty much what you get with Bakugan, it's a new spin on a classic game. The game itself comes from the Japanese Anime cartoon called Bakugan Battle Brawlers. First aired in 2007 it was a wild success. In fact it has been signed on for a new season called "New Vestroia." In the show, the main characters and their Bakugan buddies battle to protect the Earth from the evil Naga who wants the ultimate power and control of two universes.
The characters play the game by throwing down their cards and letting their Bakugan balls do the talking. The monsters within are released, and the most powerful Bakugan wins the battle.
Every year it seems like there is a new popular cartoon-made-into-a-game. Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Digimon, and the list goes on. This year promises to take that to a new level. Not only do kids get to play with the cards, they have the Bakugan Spheres as well to play with. When the spheres hit the magnetic cards they pop open revealing what is inside. The players can use their ability cards to boost the Bakugan's 'G power' and the strongest one wins the match.
The game itself is simple enough for your younger ones to play, but also has enough complexities to keep the older ones entertained for hours. It's also a great way to help your kids learn math. With two levels of strategy, not just your cards but also rolling your spheres, there is enough here to captivate parents as well. Although be sure you don't let your kids know!
Bakugan are guaranteed to be super popular this year, Toys R Us is having a difficult time keeping them in stock and many are being sold for much more than market price. It will just get more expensive as time goes on, so score yours today and save!
