An Interesting Topic For Our Times

Book Cover & Preview Text
I am of the school that believes the smartest people do not always become scientists. What I suggest with this is that all people should get involved with the study of such a serious problem and contribute to its solution. When people put their heads together, the results are greater than the smartest person among them. Because this particular problem will affect us all we need to do the best we can to protect each other. Children are not the only ones who need to be educated; we need to be educated on this topic as well. I am not scientist or a climatologist; I am not a politician. The issue of global warming has become a serious matter for all human beings and is a matter which should not be debated alone by politicians and those who have political interests. As of yet, we are not in any imminent danger. Still, we have in this very country many places where some global warming would be desirable, let alone countries like Canada and areas like Scandinavia and Siberia. And, yes, there are many places where the climate is very warm, but by the same token, they always have been warm. What is the reason this debate exists today among politicians? Since the danger clearly does not seem to be imminent, it has to be characterized as a theory requiring a further study. And before any decisions are made and controls put in place, an impartial and vigorous examination must be performed by impartial scientists who have the qualifications to express their views and opinions on the matter, and the reasons and the information be made public without delay. … A young man goes to a university to become a scientist. He learns the principles required to be a good scientist and learns to use tools not available to the average person, mainly computers and other instruments. But does the degree of that scientist make him a good scientist? It does contribute to the making of a good scientist, but is not necessarily the only factor. In fact, a person can become a scientist even without a degree. Circumstances, observations, conflicts and problems can make a person an above average scientist on a particular issue. On the other hand, money and other interests can make a well-qualified scientist a bad scientist, even a criminal scientist. There are people who have studied the Gulf Stream and have concluded that it packs 100 times the energy we consume on the whole earth. If this is true, then the energy packed in all the oceanic currents has to be about 1,000 times the energy we consume on the earth. Now if the energy in all the oceanic currents is 1,000 times the energy we consume on the earth, how much larger does the energy of the wind which generates the currents have to be? Is 10,000 times a good figure? The wind, though, which generates the oceanic currents does not include the energy packed in the tropical storms and all the other storms around us. So if we include the energy of all the winds, it is safe to say that energy packed in all the winds is conservatively 100,000 times the energy we consume on the whole earth. Yet the sun is the one that generates all the winds and this as a byproduct of the energy with which the sun is bombarding the earth every day. Therefore, who controls our environment, man or the sun? I would say the sun.

About the Book
Global Warming is a serious matter requiring an open and honest discussion. Unfortunately, I have not seen any such discussion. I hear that there is consensus among scientists. When they know what they are talking about, they also are able to explain what they have discovered. In this topic, though, whoever these scientists are, they do not seem willing to come forward to do the explanation, instead politicians are the ones who do the talking. In addition, there are also rumors going around that the information collected regarding the issue of Global Warming appears to be tainted. This book not only contains scientific information which has been approved for a long time, it also makes this information easy for everyone to understand and recognize. Many of the phenomena we see every day have been studied and measured thoroughly, yet because we are not able to stop these phenomena from happening, we avoid trying to understand why they occur, and in some cases, we just legitimize our guessing. The accurate data collected by legitimate sources are used and presented in this book, and when the correct explanation is presented, it is easy to understand that the whole explanation is simple. The statements presented are clear and simple, and it is not the author who has collected the information, yet all are based on a proven science which is being used in many industries and for a long time. Once you recognize that these topics are simple, you can begin to have a serious discussion in your own circle, and feel free to scrutinize this author.
About the Author
John Andreadakis was born on Samos, a small Aegean Greek island, at the beginning of World War II. He was raised in a farming family among seafaring people. From his grade school to high school he exhibited an above average aptitude in mathematics; therefore, his uncle sent him a set of university books in physics to prepare him for higher education. His father as a young man before World War II had worked in the States and brought back to his home in Greece a stack of National Geographic magazines. Upon finishing high school John lost his father to an illness and was unable to pursue higher education. Those university books, the National Geographic magazines, and finally, his military service exposed him to electronics, and in general, fueled his appetite and desire to do something in his life. He seized the opportunity to become a navigating officer with the Greek merchant ships, and in the process was initially excited to see the world, learn languages and more electronics. As a navigating officer, he traveled the whole world. He saw firsthand the fury of Mother Nature, and studied extensively weather patterns. Forecasting the weather and recording weather patterns in the ship's log was a navigating officer's duty for the protection of the ship and the crew. Disappointed by a sailor's life, he immigrated to the United States to study more electronics, and upon his graduation was hired by a major computer company as an electronics engineer. In the end of his long career with that company, he studied and received dual certification for HVAC. When the discussion came up about Global Warming, he had something to say.
