As a geologist ... "A well-written, fact-filled, sometimes humorous book. Felix states
his case well and gives readers something to think about. I found the book
interesting and recommend it." *

| "I
was charmed and delighted by your discussion of the fate
of all those wooly mammoths. I am sure you are
emphasizing something very important with the underwater
volcanic activity. I hope your sales go sky high.

E. Sanders, Professor Emeritus of Geology, Barnard College, Columbia University, and author of Principles of Physical Geology *

* * * * * "Not by Fire but by Ice shocks your liver away from its moorings, it is that riveting. [Felix’s] journey into the whys and wherefores of climatic anomalies should make for more front page news than the death of Princes Di or the passing of Mother Teresa. A ten-inch rain—turned into snow—would mean 100 inches of snow a day [and] could bring down every roof in Vancouver, Moose Jaw or Fargo. Indeed, thousands of cattle frozen to death on both sides of the Canadian line last winter suggest a tip-toe beginning." -Charles Walters, Acres USA *
* * * * * "A
well-documented, fascinating and shocking book I found it
easy to agree with you." *
* * * * * "Fascinating. A great book. I
agree with my good friend Dr. Louie Thompson of Iowa
State, that it's easy to agree with your shocking
conclusions. I, too, believe that we will soon see a new
major ice age advance over the northern crop regions of
this hemisphere." *
* * * * * "A most remarkable
survey of the literature of the geologic past to attempt
to delineate what natural processes may show us of our
climatic future. Felix's central theme—that we are
approaching the end of this Holocene
Interglacial—is, I think, quite correct. Since we
have used up the usual time of past interglacials, it is
possible that our current Little Ice Age could turn into
the Next Major Glaciation." *
* * * * * [This] blockbuster
should be read by all Americans whose children are being
brainwashed into believing that Western Civilization,
internal combustion engines, and hair spray are going to
lead to "global warming," parched earth and
famine. Scientifically sensible. This is not a political
book. But its impact bares naked the global warming and
environmental extremist theories that are being used by
liberal politicians to accumulate wealth and to seize
power and control over the lives of their fellow human
beings." *
* * * * * "An easy,
enjoyable, and fascinating read ... The book should be a
best seller, although it may not be politically correct
to acknowledge the relatively feeble impact of man
relative to the long-term episodic forces of
nature." *
* * * * * "Congratulations.
Your excellent writing style is reminiscent of Carl
Sagan’s wonderful books. Your contention that mighty
planetary forces working on a regular cycle control our
climate is credible and logical. Whether your conclusions
regarding our imminent peril are right or wrong, your
book is worth reading just for the wealth of information
about earth science that you provide.
" *
* * * * * "A book the entire
world should read—before it's too late. With
thorough research and good science, Felix demolishes the
myth that humans are responsible for the planet's ills.
We should act wisely and quickly to save the human race
by heeding the truth about geomagnetic reversals and the
coming ice age. Logical.
Compelling." *
* * * * * "Talk about
thought provoking! You made a believer out of me. Your
theory about magnetic reversals and the coming ice age
really makes sense. I think you've come up with the most
plausible explanation of what killed the
dinosaurs." *
* * * * *
This guy has done his homework! As soon as word gets out about this book, it
will be an instant
best-seller. Felix builds his case by
methodically going through all the evidence that has been amassed on
geomagnetic reversals and excursions, periods of increased volcanism, mean
sea levels, heavy metal deposition, ice ages and periods of increased
glaciation, mass extinctions, and the periodicity of these events in context
of our planet, our solar system, and our galaxy. He also debunks several of the
popular myths such as asteroid impact and the current greenhouse gas theory. I've arranged to get at least 10
more copies of this book to send to people I know will be able to appreciate
it. Eighteen dollars for a personalized autographed copy with free shipping
is a steal (http://iceagenow.com) I'm
going to get mine now before demand is so great that this kind of personal
service is impossible. *
* * * * * "I was skeptical
when I began reading Not by Fire but by Ice. But I found
a book so well-researched and interesting that it
compelled me to read more. By the time I finished I was
persuaded that the next ice age could begin any day. My
son, a ninth grader, was also intrigued. He grabbed the
book before I could and would not part with it until he
finished. As a former high school science teacher, I
think this book will fascinate readers from ninth grade
through
adult." *
* * * * * "The only
book I would consider a must read. Makes more
common sense than "meteor collisions" or
"man-made" ecological disaster. Religious
readers and writers may become the strongest supporters
of ice age calamity and magnetic field reversal.
Certainly this Christian writer is such a
believer." |

Myth of Greenhouse Gases
Phil
Brennan “Listen
up. This is very important. “In
fact, the global warmiacs couldn't be further from the truth. As I
argued in my January 13 column, Let
Eyes See and Ears Hear, and in my 1997 investigative report,
"Global Warming or Globaloney," high levels of CO2 in the
atmosphere are indeed a dire warning that something very unpleasant is
about to befall our planet and those of us who reside here, but it has
nothing to do with global warming. “Precisely
the opposite: It is both the harbinger and the cause of a coming new
ice age. “Now
comes Robert W. Felix, who in his book "Not by Fire but by
Ice" argues persuasively that it is not global warming but ocean
warming that is pushing CO2 levels through the roof. “And
he warns, "The same thing is happening today. "Our seas,
heated by underwater volcanism, are leading us directly into the next
ice age ... and we don't even know it. “The
book is an easy read, even though it is crammed full of technical
detail that Felix manages to explain even to scientific dunderheads
like me. “Felix
emphasizes that the record proves that we are on the verge of the
onset of a new ice age. "Ice ages begin and end abruptly every
11,500 years. First comes an enormous flood, a Noah's Deluge type of
flood, which ends the previous ice age. Then comes a period of warmth
similar to “He
emphasizes over and over again that the onset of an ice age is both
sudden and violent, lasting about 20 years, and anyone paying
attention to what is happening to our planet will understand that we
are probably somewhere in that 20-year period now. When it ends, huge
numbers of us will go extinct, just as did the dinosaurs, and just as
rapidly and as violently. “Anyone
who reads this blockbuster of a book and pays attention to his
regularly updated Web site will understand just what we face, and will
come away with a feeling of absolute contempt for those politically
inspired global-warming advocates who are lulling many of our fellow
human beings into dangerous complacency. “The
threat is here; the threat is now. “ * * * * * * |
