1.0 out of 5 starsinsane rambling
By K. Parker on July 3, 2014

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
The author believes that elementary concepts, which have been taught to 
and understood by first year Chemistry and Physics students for many 
decades, are some kind of meteorological conspiracy. The author also 
does not understand the very basic physics that drive convective 
updrafts (the positive buoyancy due to warm temperature anomalies that 
result from latent heat release). Instead, apparently based largely on 
reading websites, he proposes a mechanism that makes no physical sense 
and is totally unobserved and unobservable. This text violates even 
basic tenets of logic. Totally without merit.

1.0 out of 5 starsWaste of time, a non-funny joke
By hunter on July 16, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition
This book misleads the reader on basic physical concepts like density, 
the basics of weather dynamics, and offers a silly idea that confuses 
metaphors about how the jet stream operates with reality. It solves 
nothing but does offer a way to waste time and money buying and reading 
it. This book is an example of the risks posed in the age of inexpensive 
self publishing.
