Book Review – ….Aaron’s EnvironMental Corner……ZERO Greenhouse Emissions – The Day the Lights Went Out – Our Future World.
Link here for the FULL REVIEW
Back in early August, I was inducted into the Voices For Change Honor Roll at the Greenhouse Neutral Foundation. A few days later, I purchased the book Zero Greenhouse Emissions: The Day the Lights Went Out (Our Future World) by Robert Williamson.
I bought the book* with the plan to read it right off and do this review as well as to learn some of the background on the Global Warming issue. The book itself is available as either a hard cover or an electronic book (I got the e-book) and is about 200 pages long. Proceeds from the book go towards the efforts of the Greenhouse Neutral Foundation and it’s Chairman, the author Bob Williamson.
Obviously, I didn’t read it right off as I was in the middle of a major research project at the time. I finished the book over this weekend and have been kind of mulling it over for a day or two while I worked on some political ghost writing that left the non-political parts of my brain free to ruminate on the climate. Which it did.
Excerpt ………….. and rebuttal ………
Excerpt……. Overall, I would highly suggest this book to anyone who can read. Whether you’re a greenhouse gas skeptic or not, you’ll get something important out this book.
Fair warning, so you don’t go in blind as I did, since Bob is Australian and the book is written in Queen’s English. So some translation for us Americans is in order while reading. Although I don’t think he used the word “crikey” and never once mentioned Foster’s. So I’d question his authentics as an Australian.
Rebuttal….. THANK YOU Aaron for the very good, well constructed, impartial review that clearly recommends the book to all readers– NO there will be no check in the mail and for Forster’s please re-read pages 52 – 105 – 153.
Bob Williamson – with gratitude!

OK, I amended the review with the new information. Then I did a word search. Still now “crikey” and no “shrimp on the barbi” either. I was going to check “digeridoo,” but I don’t know how to spell it.
Everything I know about Australia I learned from Steve Irwin and Crocodile Dundee.

[...] OK, he did mention Foster’s. Bob points out in his rebuttal that it’s mentioned three times in the book. I looked it up to check. The first time [...]
