Unstoppable Science

Unstoppable Global Warming is a marvelous book for the layman. It documents previous climate excursions, which pretty well eliminate anthropogenic causes for the current change!
The book also shows the limitations of the current GCM's due to their not accounting for clouds, water vapor, changes in solar activity, and etc. To base public policy upon such poor science is completely foolish!
Singer and Avery have written a book that should be read by every High School and College age student.

The earth may be warming up;but it's not man and CO2 emmissions that is causing it.

If you really want to know what is going on with all the dire warnings about global warming ,you'll be hard pressed to find a better source of information than in this book. The authors have dissected every theory and fact on the subject and while there is evidence that the earth is warming up,it is a long term climatic cycle that has occurred many times in the past and will occur again in the future. Not only does the geological record show that the earth has warmed up,it has gone through cycles where it has cooled. The authors explain these climatic changes and it has not been the actions of man that have caused them and it won't be the actions of man that will prevent them.
Sometime ago I read a book,"The Year 1000" by Robert Lacey and Danny Danziger and the temperatures were a lot warmer than today and vineyards were common in Britain.Then decades later Europe cooled off and great hardships occurred for a long time.See my Review dated November 22,2006)
The authors Singer and Avery address every theory that has been put forth by activists,as well an well intentioned people that have bought into the impending peril that lies ahead unless man drastically changes his ways,
They show where their misguided pronouncements and dire predictions are pure and simply wrong.
Instead of doom and gloom,the earth is warming up slightly but the great calamities will not happen and technology and changes will be made by man to cope .As a matter of fact,difficulties are even harder to cope with when the earth goes through cooling cycles;but not to worry ,that's a long time off.
You will find this book to be an excellent resource ,with every issue,both scientific and political,well adderssed and backed up with references.
If you remember the 50's and early 60's ,you'll recall similar activists were running around telling us about the "Population Bomb or Explosion" .If we didn't control births ,there would be massive fights over land and food.There would be starving and famines and a whole other lot of worldwide misery.Well,the world's population has gone from
3 Billion to 6 Billion and about the only problem we have really seen is that of Diabetes and Obseity.The third world countries with their enduring political structures have remained in their dismal shapes while the progressive cultures and countries have continued to better themselves.
So,read this book and you'll ease your concerns about all this nonsense and be equipped to help others see through the fog of nonsense being offered up as science or fact.

Must read for skeptics

Arm yourself just in case you attempt to have a rational, scientifically based conversation with a global warming alarmist.

Unstoppable Warming - getting back down to Earth.

This book is a good solid recap of an enourmous amount fo published science and commentary dealing with global climate change and climate cycles. It agreesively de-bunks the junk science surrounding the current furor over climate cchange. It simply points out the the climate is always changing and has always been changing; it may seem stable for a decade or even a few decades, but in terms of geological time, a few decades doesn't count at all - even if it is the life span of a man. It also points out the solar activity cycles that seem to generally harmonize with the climate cycles. While it is hard to actually imagine that 6 billion humans could live on this planet without some footprint, the book correctly points out that our influence is marginal at worst. It also debunks the forecasts of mass species extinctions touted by the activist community.

Kinder, gentler Global Warming is happening

Yes, the planet is warming up. However, man-made CO2 emissions have only a slight role. According to _Unstoppable_, the main reason is a 1,500 year warming/cooling cycle that has affected the earth since prehistoric times. We, in 2007 right now, just happen to be at the start of a warming trend in this cycle.

While the greenhouse gas theory was based on inaccurate computer models, the 1500-year cycle has been determined through geologic evidence (ice core samples, sea- and lakebed samples), archeological evidence (the warming/cooling cycle had an effect on plant and animal growth) and historical records (ancient writings and even artwork reflected the 1500 year cycle, albeit imprecisely).

The mechanics of why this happens is not fully understood, but the effect of the sun's cosmic rays on the Earth's atmosphere is believed to play a large part.

The Kyoto Protocol, based on the greenhouse gas theory, wouldn't really change the climate much even if fully implemented. As it is now, most of the signatories haven't reduced their CO2 emissions all that much anyway, prefering to trade "CO2 credits" with Russia. The politics of Kyoto (i.e. getting the United States to become a high-tax society like Europe) seems to be more important to many Kyoto advocates at this point.

The warming trend has affected human settlement patterns. The habitation of Greenland, and the rise and fall of the Roman and Mayan Empires have been linked to this 1500-year cycle. Plants, animals and humans will move, find other habitat, or otherwise adapt to the higher temperatures, but the drastic storms and sea level changes predicted by greenhouse gas proponents are not likely. (Indeed, the warming portion of the cycle tends to have milder weather than the cooling phase!)

The last chapter discusses energy alternatives; solar and wind, generally (but not always!) favored by environmentalists, would take up too much land to generate enough power. Nuclear fission has issues (ore shortages, profileration), and fusion is a long way off, if ever. But if CO2 isn't that much of a problem to begin with, why not use coal, tar sands, etc. when the oil runs out?

There are plenty of references in this book for people who want to investigate further. The book is well written and convincing, although the authors do take a slightly cavalier tone with environmental issues in general.
