The real reason the Earth is warming --and why it’s nothing to worry about
Unstoppable Global Warming
by S. Fred Singer
To Al Gore and his disciples, global warming is man-made and dangerous, and unless we radically change human energy production and consumption, the results will be catastrophic for humans and all other species. But to
S. Fred Singer -- founding dean of the School of Environmental and Planetary Sciences at the University of Miami -- the real question is not whether the Earth is warming -- but why and by how much. Now, in Unstoppable Global Warming, Singer and co-author Dennis T. Avery demonstrate that the earth’s current warming trend is a largely natural occurrence that we can’t do anything to stop – and which is not only harmless, but potentially beneficial.
(continued from above)
In this New York Times bestseller, Singer and Avery closely examine historic data from two millennia of recorded history – combined with the natural physical records found in ice cores, seabed sediment, cave stalagmites,
and tree rings – to reveal that the 1,500-year solar-driven cycle has always controlled the earth’s climate, and remains the driving force in the current warming trend. As a result, trillions of dollars spent on reducing fossil fuel use would have no effect on today’s rising temperatures – and the public policy key is adaptation, not fruitless attempts at prevention. Further, they offer convincing evidence that civilization’s most successful eras have coincided with the cycle’s warmest peaks. With the added benefit of modern technology, humanity can not only survive global climate change, but thrive.
Unstoppable Global Warming reveals:
- How more than 70 percent of the world's recent global warming occurred between 1850 and 1940, before much human-emitted CO2
- What could have caused a pre-industrial warming? Why science points to the sun
- The startling correlation between earth's varying temperatures and the length of the sunspot cycles
- How small variations in the sun's irradiance are amplified on earth by more or fewer cosmic rays slamming into our atmosphere, ionizing more or less water vapor, and creating more or fewer wet, cooling clouds
- How ice cores retrieved from Greenland and the Antarctic revealed 400,000 years of the planet's temperature history -- and a 1,500-year cycle that was too long and moderate to be discerned by Celtic tribes or Viking seamen
- How physical evidence of the 1,500-year climate cycle has also been found in the bottom sediments of six oceans and hundreds of lakes, relict tree rings from around the northern hemisphere, and the cave stalagmites and glacier movements of every continent plus New Zealand
- How the North American Pollen Data Base shows nine complete eorganizations of our trees and plants in the past 14,000 years -- or one every 1650 years.
- How history documents a so-called Roman Warming in the 1st century AD, a Medieval Warming in the 11th, and the Little Ice Age that gripped the planet from 1400 to 1850
- How the same long, natural cycle shows up in the Nile flood records of ancient Egypt and the court records of Japan
- How, right on Nature's schedule, we're now 150 years into a Modern Warming
“A wonderful new book…meticulously researched and footnoted.” --The Washington Times
“Must reading for anyone concerned about global warming.”--Frederick Seitz, former President, National Academy of Sciences
"Fred Singer and Dennis Avery highlight the many fallacies associated with the hysterical claims of dangerous climate change and unsubstantiated computer projections surrounding the theory of human caused global
warming. They have managed to lay out, dissect, and expose the facts in a thoroughly readable style. Unstoppable Global Warming is a must read' for everybody who is interested in the real issues surrounding climate
change." --William Kininmonth, Australasian Climate Research
