Product Description:
In this New York Times bestseller, authors Singer and Avery present the compelling concept that global temperatures have been rising mostly or entirely because of a natural cycle. Using historic data from two millennia of recorded history combined with natural physical records, the authors argue that the 1,500 year solar-driven cycle that has always controlled the earth's climate remains the driving force in the current warming trend.

- An Alternate Explanation for Climate Change
"Unstoppable Global Warming" gives an alternate explanation for climate change. If the book was a bit more honest, I would have rated it better. However, the book is not very convincing about the effects or lack of effects of CO2. This is a shame. One of the embarassments of "global warming" is that CO2 levels are climbing rapidly but the temperature rise curve does NOT show a correlation to the rapid rise in CO2 levels.
However, there is good science available on the effects of ... Read More
Rating:
- skepticism does not equal denial
For those on the "left" to continually thwart debate to forward a mostly political and economic agenda is shamefully anti-science. Hooray for the courage of the authors to stand up to the alarmists.
Rating:
- What a waste of a good tree
I always tell my ethics classes to study both (or all) sides of an issue. Try to reserve judgment until you have done your homework. As a 'believer', I wanted to learn (again) what those who suggest things aren't really that bad were saying now. If this is the strongest argument that climate change is not something that requires immediate attention and serious change, then Gore and McKibben have, for all practical purposes, no real competition (save for the energy companies propaganda).
Rating: - just the UN-politically correct truth
I needed some rationality to counter the one-sided, "it's all your fault" propaganda my child was constantly receiving in school, and this book is the answer. (For her, I bought "The Sky is NOT Falling", another great book.) Read this book and make up your own mind....but if you have even the slightest gut feeling that you are being "had" by the Al Gore crowd...or if you have lived long enough to remember "global cooling" doomsday scenarios back in the '70's, I would highly recommend this book. Is ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent study of the real cause of the current warming
Fred Singer, Research Professor at George Mason University in Virginia, and Dennis Avery, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute in New York, have written a thorough account of the causes of global warming. Their work is backed by a lengthy list of references from refereed and peer-reviewed science journals.
They show that over the past million years the earth has been through 600 cycles of warming caused by regular changes in the sun's radiance. Each cycle lasts about 1,500 years and ... Read More
