I read your book (Not by Fire but by Ice) with great interest. It is excellent. It’s right on point and it’s relevant. - E. J. Smith, Managing Director Richard C. Young & Co., Ltd * * * * * I am still working on reading your book (Not by Fire But By Ice). The first few chapters I read out loud to my wife because it was so fascinating. - Lee Wilson * * * * * I love your website and share it with as many people as possible. Respectfully, Cathy Burke * * * * * I send many people to your site each week. You make much more sense than AL (the emperor is naked) Gore. Thanks for all you work on the site. - Randall Lange :-) * * * * * I loved reading Not By Fire But By Ice. Seldom have I come across books that are difficult to put down, but this book was definitely that. I read it in 2 days and reread it several weeks later. I also lent it coworkers to inform them also about the Global Warming Alarmists. I think you're a Master of the subject and more people need to listen. I am a simple man by many measures and you were able to convey far-reaching geo-physical concepts quite handily. Your writing style is very engaging and informative. This book needs to put into the hands of many more people. I have just ordered Magnetic Reversals and Evolutionary Leaps as well and look forward to reading it. Thank you Robert for your research and compassion. You are not being given the credit or exposure that you deserve. - Kenneth Page * * * * * You have a fabulous site-- I have emailed much of your material to others-- Keep up the good work. - Fred Manfredi * * * * * This is probably the 4th or 5th issue of "Not by Fire but by Ice" that I have purchased. I keep loaning them out don't get them back. Hopefully they are making the rounds. I also keep telling people of your website. I was not the least bit interested in global warming until I stumbled across your book. It was the first thing I had read that actually made some sense. I really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work. You have the best website on the net. - Gordy Engesmoe * * * * * Thank you for your wonderful website. Margaret McKee Huey BS Geology, Vanderbilt University * * * * * Greetings from Finland and keep up the good work. Your diligent research and dedication to the theories you have put in place should surely award you with an honorary PhD. About half a year ago, I read both your books while on holiday in Thailand and let me tell you, they were really difficult to put down - very well written. - Andy Patel * * * * * I just ordered Magnetic Reversals and Evolutionary Leaps, I hope it is as good as Not by Fire but by Ice. I am a Park Ranger in Northern Idaho where we have shoveled a lot of snow so far this year and it keeps accumulating. Can't stop dwelling on the message in your first book as I shovel and plow every day! I'm originally from Gig Harbor, Washington. I returned there this Christmas to visit family and friends and there was more snow! During the visit my mother (age 77) read Not by Fire but by Ice and was impressed. Now my son, who will be graduating from University of Hawaii with a BS this spring is reading the book. He has been on the global warming band wagon due to the nature of his studies. This will be a test to see if his mind is still open. Thanks for your wonderful work. - Jeff Smith * * * * * . As a geologist ... Here's a letter that I received today from a geologist who agrees with my assessment as to what triggers ice ages. See Geologist Endorsement . * * * * * Mr. Felix, I have been a skeptic about global warming caused by man almost from the beginning. Natural cycles over the millenniums seemed more sensible. After hearing your recent interview on Coast to Coast I decided that your books would be well worth the time to read: ordered "Not by Fire" and "Magnetic Reversals" from your web site today. You should know that at our local Borders in Oak Brook, IL, Not by Fire is not stocked but used copies can be ordered. The 1999 hard copy is offered at "from $15.95" and the 1997 soft cover is "from $62.90". I will take good care of my copies! - Charles Shemely * * * * * It's getting colder, not warmer says Alan Caruba See Caruba Review * * * * * "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. This guy has done his homework! As soon as word gets out about this book, it will be an instant best-seller." -Jean Peerenboom, Green Bay Press-Gazette .
* * * * * * "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. -John E. Sanders, Professor Emeritus of Geology, Barnard College, Columbia University, and author of Principles of Physical Geology * * * * * . "A must read! Fascinating. Forget global warming! You’ll shudder every time you see a snowflake! Earth changes have been massive. A volcano has virtually wiped out the island nation of Montserrat. Massive droughts/floods have swept many nations. What’s ahead will be even stronger . . . [and] could significantly affect commodity markets & inflation rate. -The International Harry Schultz Letter * * * * * * . "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." - Dr. Louis Thompson, Climatologist and Professor Emeritus, Iowa State University * * * * * * . "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." -Cliff Harris, Applied Climatologist, and co-author of Harris-Mann Reports See the Harris-Mann web page at www.longrangeweather.com) (Editor's note: Cliff Harris is ranked as one of the top ten climatologists in the world.) * * * * * * . "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." -Jack Sauers, Research Geologist * * * * * * . "[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." -Bob Dill, Publisher, The Times Examiner, Greenville, SC * * * * * * . "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." -Dr. Daniel A. Walker, Seismologist, Retired, University of Hawaii at Manoa * * * * * * . "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. " -Jeffrey P. Harris, Executive Director, People for the West * * * * * * . "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." -Lou Guzzo, Author, with Dixy Lee Ray, of Trashing the Planet and former managing editor of The Seattle Post-Intelligencer * * * * * * . "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." -Bette Filley, Author of The Big Fact Book About Mount Rainier * * * * * * . "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. Felix’s research is exhaustive - 28 page bibliography (in a 10-point font) - and his documentation is equal to that you might expect from a doctoral thesis. No hand waving explanations here. And yet the book is written in an easy to follow, logical progression that leads the reader to the conclusion that we are on the verge of the next great period of glaciation, if not in the beginning of it. His sobering conclusion is that when it happens, it happens all at once, not over thousands or millions of years. Just imagine nine stories of snow in a day. Think it's impossible? Think again. You need to read this now. 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. - John J. Bottorff, Nashville, TN USA * * * * * * "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." -Mary Young, former high school science teacher * * * * * * "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." -Bob Olson, Reviewer, and Author of Memories with a Christmas Attitude
* * * * * * The Myth of Greenhouse Gases *Phil Brennan* *Wednesday, Feb 23, 2005* “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. “According to Felix, the oceans are warming as the result of widespread underwater volcanic activity, which he thoroughly documents. He adds that "We've forgotten that this isn't the first time our seas have warmed. Sea temperatures also shot upward 10º to 18ºF just prior to the last ice age. As the oceans warmed, evaporation increased. The excess moisture then fell to the ground as giant blizzards, giant storms and floods (Noah's Deluge type floods), and a new ice age began." “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 today's ... which lasts about 11,500 years. Then the next ice age begins – catastrophically. “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. “ * * * * * *
