3.0 out of 5 starsThe Coming Global Superstorm
By A Customer on February 27, 2000
Format: Hardcover
According to this new book, a monstrous storm of extremely damaging winds, nonstop snow and ice is on its way and could mean the end of our civilization. Depending on when the storm arrives, whether it is Winter or Summer, will determine whether we enter another Ice Age. The main brunt of the reason for the storm is that the North Atlantic Current, which helps maintain our current climate, will shift - allowing for Arctic air to plunge southward. Bell and Strieber claim that Global Warming has moved forward this natural phenomena of superstorms by several thousand years because of humans' poor stewardship of the planet (use of fossil fuels, toxic waste etc.) "Nineteen ninety-nine was the most violent year in the modern history of weather. So was 1998. So was 1997. And 1996." This period of violent weather is a warning, say the authors. Bell and Strieber point to woolly mammoths frozen while chewing vegetation and frozen orange trees found in northern Siberia as proof of prior superstorms which occur suddenly, without any warning. Many other interesting theories abound in the book, including the possibility of a technologically advanced civilization that lived about 10,000 years ago, but was wiped out by the last superstorm.
Art Bell is a well-known radio talk show host. His show covers conspiracy theories, UFOs, unexplained phenomena, global warming and other unusual topics. Whitley Strieber is best known as being the author of the bestselling book, Communion: A True Story, an account of alien abduction. Bell and Strieber lay the groundwork for their theory of the coming superstorm in the main text, but there is also a running fictional account of what happens when the storm arrives.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsThought-provoking and well written
By George A. Ramos on December 13, 1999
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Expecting to read more of the "same-old" doomsday speculation rampant on Art Bell's radio show, this book suprised me with both its message and its scope. With the exception of some of the initial chapters, which provide an overview of recent theories regarding the age of mankind, the entire book was new material for me. It was the first time I'd heard of a "superstorm", how one would form, and the effects such a storm would have. The prospect is terrifying.
The book is so well-written, however, that I felt the book's message was a call to action rather than an simply a disruptive alarm. The authors cleverly intersperse realistic-yet-fictional scenes of the onset of such a storm between the factual, sometimes dry prose. The result is a book that is extremely informative and a pleasure to read (similar to "The Hot Zone").
Grounded in science and only minimally speculative(the authors state very clearly where they do so), this book is well worth reading and contemplating. I hope the book finds its way into academia soon.

5.0 out of 5 starsFair Weather Warning
By John E.L. Tenney on December 6, 1999
Format: Hardcover
Though both Mr. Bell and Mr. Strieber have very vocal critics about their ideas and motives you cannot deny the impact that both individuals have had on our society's popular culture. Continuing to create debate and discussion is The Coming Global Superstorm which I am sure will create a "storm" of conversation with it's readers. Mixing both "fictional" scenarios as well as documented data Bell & Strieber paint what might be a very dim view of our planet's fate, but rest assured there is always a chance for change. Could a storm overtake the entire planet? If it did would we survive? This book takes on questions such as these and as Mr. Bell himself has said "..trys not to alarm, but inform." I may not always agree with the concepts of Mr. Bell and Mr. Strieber but as I sit in my office in SouthEastern Michigan this first week of December and watch the thermometer jump past 62 degrees I can't help but wonder, didn't it use to snow around here at this time of year?

5.0 out of 5 starsCompelling Hypothesis
By Mistersomeone on December 22, 1999
Format: Hardcover
This book pieces together three seemingly unrelated groups of facts to come to an astonishing conclusion: Earth's climate is inherently unstable, and we may be on the cusp of a catastrophic climate change.

The first cluster of facts relates to the evidence for escalating climate change, and I think they do a good job of collecting these while conceding valid criticisms of the orthodox global warming hypothesis (e.g., that global temperatures on the whole aren't rising nearly as fast as the computer models say that they should, given the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide, and that CO2 levels are even now anomalously low in geologic terms). They present a picture of global warming and species extinction that is primarily a result of very long-range climatological instability to which mankind may be contributing, rather than putting the whole burden of it on our shoulders. In this way, they avoid the shrill guilt-mongering tone of the environmentalists while gently suggesting that we as a species can do something about the problem. This is a very refreshing approach.

The second cluster of facts on which they draw concerns archaeological anomalies such as the Sphinx, the Baalbek ruins, the Cheops pyramid, etc., that are exceedingly hard to fit into the standard theories of man's prehistory. Astonishingly, they relate these to the whole global warming debate by positing that the ancient flood legends are a thinly-disguised history of what happened to the relatively advanced prehistoric civilization that must have created these imposing ruins. My one criticism of the book would be that in delving into this area, they revel too much in interpreting and extrapolating ancient legends, reinterpretations of the zodiac, etc.Read more ›
