Newton's Laws apply to mechanics and material objects and Nobel Laureate Ilya Prigogine, a Belgian scientist, the 20th Century's Newton, gave science a new, reality-oriented direction by developing thermodynamics and the irreversible, 'dissipative process' principle.In the debate about climate change, there are the environmental activist and the skeptics. This book represents a third position: explains energy and the h energy quantum and applies the proper science, thermodynamics and Prigogine's theories to climate.Next, it considers the Earth's self-defense system against over-heating, based on entropy production of weather events, but no obvious protection exists against overcooling. While Russia and China are building wave and tide power-plants, we rely on solar and wind energy, that depends on solar activity.So, the climate issue becomes a national security issue in a cooling cycle. Therefore, he advocates the increased use of the non-polluting tidal-, wave- and hydro-power, and even nuclear power, to generate electricity.Balogh discusses the actors of the environmental movement and the relationship between globalism and environmentalism. Finally, an important part of the book is the discussion, who benefits from destroying industry and from the riots, and looting and puts the climate issue into global and apocalyptical context. Sandor Balogh, Ph. D. (NYU), was a college professor, teaching social sciences and philosophy. After retirement, he was promoted to Professor Emeritus rank. In retirement, he is getting a self-education in climatology and based on Aristoteles' hylomorphism theory, applies thermodynamics to the climate: the earth has a self-defense system that protects it from overheating by turning heat-energy into entropy. He has also re-written Einstein's E=mc2 formula into E + entropy=mc2 to include entropy as a by-product. Among "clean energy" sources the author suggests to use tidal, wave, hydro, and nuclear power sources as other nations, including Russia and China. They are essential for national security and the future of his grandchildren's generation once the solar spots are reduced and we will face a colder climate. Finally, he puts the climate issue into global and apocalyptical context. Dr. Balogh also participates in Hungarian-American politics and enjoys his grandchildren's company.
