    About this ebook

    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.

    John Andreadakis

    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.

      An Interesting Topic for Our Times

      Many are the people today who are talking about this topic of Global Warming. A former vice president of our country is talking about it and he also received a great gift from an institution which is involved with the betterment of our world.

      Our President also is speaking about it, saying that we need to avoid using fossil fuels as their use greatly contributes to the phenomenon of global warming. He is telling us that the prices on energy consumption will necessarily have to skyrocket, and that it is something we need to go through before it is too late. Not just our country raises the flag of warning but many other respected nations as well.

      We see video clips of young polar bears swimming in the open seas because polar caps are melting. Other clips are showing the glaciers crumbling and falling down into the sea as a proof about the same problem.

      Companies and whole industries advertize and are telling us that they are going Green. Their products are environmentally safe and their prices can be higher since they protect the environment.

      We begin to recognize that global warming is a serious problem. From my point of view not much proof has been presented as not many scientists are studying the problem. Still others say that the papers which are supporting the global warming projections may be flawed. Indications of a serious problem need to be studied seriously, not only by all scientists, but also by all people, even individuals who are not scientists. If the theory behind this problem is flawed, then it is criminal to have risen to such high levels in the governments of many countries.

      Also, if you noticed, they are trying very hard to educate our young children on the matter and they are doing it very effectively.

      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.

      Former Vice President Al Gore passionately sounds the horn of warning that the ice caps are melting, and because of it, many lands will be submerged. He may be sincere in his fears, but is he earnest when he invests his money in a Chicago venture which will regulate energy consumption for everyone, especially the people in this country? His reasoning suggests the United States has been using energy resources for so long that it is only fair to leave some resources to be used by other countries which have not used their share.

      If energy is controlled the way they recommend, what will it do to your food supply? And if you do not have food to eat, what does it matter what kind of short life you are going to have?

      He did claim in the past to have invented the Internet. Or maybe his real intention was to control the Internet if he could, in hopes to profit from his invention. The issue, though, is much larger than Gore who continues
