Get a Life, Chloe Brown: A Novel | Talia Hibbert

pick

I... think I might like romance? This book certainly challenged my ideas about myself as a reader - I really enjoyed this slow-burn one, and was actually CRYING towards the end! The only reason it isn't 5 is because of the explicit details of the sex scenes.

Cinfhen I see you gave it 3.75….what did you like/ dislike??? 2y

jenniferw88 @Cinfhen I liked Galatea but didn't like her husband (& it's meant to be that way!). I didn't like the jumping around of locations/characters without clear paragraph breaks (it's a formatting issue really). X 2y

The Real Global Warming Disaster: Is the obsession with 'climate change' turning out to be the most costly scientific blunder in history? | Christopher Booker

pick

OK, the book needs to be proof-read again (punctuation marks and capital letters are all over the place in parts), some of the science went over my head and it is a bit repetitive towards the end, but I learned lots!

🌍 The IPCC can't be trusted to provide accurate data, & is biased towards man causing global warming
🌍 Climate change is more likely to be caused from radiation from the sun & changing ocean currents ⬇️

jenniferw88 🌍 Wind turbines are pretty ineffective 2y

jenniferw88 🌍 Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth is way OTT & inaccurate 2y

jenniferw88 Oh, and book #6 for #14books14weeks23 @TheHeartlandBookFairy 2y

Cinfhen Wow!! Very “cool” 😉 2y

Amiable Given that Booker also claimed there was no danger from asbestos or second-hand smoke, I tend to toss his work into the conspiracy-theorist pile. 2y

Librarybelle Lots of challenges and amazing progress on #14books14weeks23 ! 2y

jenniferw88 @Amiable that was apparently a different type of asbestos. The argument in this book is pretty convincing. 2y

Amiable @jenniferw88 Conspiracy theories always are—that‘s why the people who create them can get traction for their claims. 2y

AllDebooks Wow, that ticks a lot of challenge boxes. Sounds very conflicting with current reserach data. I'd be interested to see his sources. 2y

jenniferw88 @AllDebooks this is one of his sources. https://wattsupwiththat.com/ 2y

jenniferw88 @AllDebooks and another! https://climateaudit.org/ 2y

AllDebooks @jenniferw88 these are blog posts. I find it very hard to accept these as credible scientific sources and having a few articles on Booker, I would be reluctant to believe his proof without cross checking other sources. 2y

jenniferw88 @AllDebooks I'd be happy to send the book on... I'm pretty convinced! 2y

jenniferw88 @AllDebooks I think the blog posts will link to the scientific reports (& the blogs are written by the scientists he mentions in the book - I should have made that clearer). X 2y

GingerAntics I‘ve heard all of this before… from climate change deniers. An Inconvenient Truth is actually praised by climate scientists around the globe. The only way this is convincing is if you‘re willing to believe that the vast majority of scientists on the planet are incompetent, and they have all misread their various data point wrong, but have somehow all managed to read them wrong in the exact same way. This man is nothing but a conspiracy theorist. 2y

GingerAntics All one needs to know about Booker is that he believes George W Bush is smart enough to see through scientific lies. 🙄 Please tell me your next read is going to be about the grassy knoll, on the flat earth, where no one ever landed on the moon (but while on the moon we didn‘t land on, aliens told humans never to come back to the moon, which is why we haven‘t returned in decades and we‘re only returning now because we think our weapons… 2y

GingerAntics are better than theirs). 🤣😂🤣💀💀💀 2y

jenniferw88 And June's #tbrtarot @CBee 2y

Ephemera Even if we can‘t positively say for certain that humans are causing global warming, we shouldn‘t ignore that it‘s happening. As they say, there is no planet B, this one is it. I‘ll be gone by the time it gets intolerable but the children of today will never forgive us if we sit around and do nothing. 2y
