Product Description

Review

Singer and Avery present in popular language supported by in-depth scientific evidence the compelling concept that global temperatures have been rising mostly or entirely because of a natural cycle. Unstoppable Global Warming explains why we're warming, why it's not very dangerous, and why we can't stop it anyway. (Science Daily )

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 )

Singer and Avery skillfully present their case for the existence of a solar-induced 1,500 year cycle that generates warming and cooling of the Earth's temperature irrespective of the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases. The authors even more skillfully argue the implications of their findings to the ongoing heated debate regarding the human contribution to observed and future changes in climate. (Robert C. Balling, Jr. )

Fred Singer and Dennis Avery have put together an impressive collection of 'reasons to believe that global warming may not be as bad as some people are telling us'—in other words, that natural variations, rather than human-emitted greenhouse gases, have tended to control climate. Their exhaustive list of scientific references, mostly from refereed journals, only underscores their statements. Bravo for a job well done! (George H. Taylor )

This book is must reading for anyone concerned about global warming. The authors stress that "consensus" has no place in science, only hard-headed testing of speculation. Their testing of the earth's erratic, moderate warming since 1850 leads them to the planet's recently discovered—but already broadly studied—1500-year climate cycle. (Frederick Seitz )

Real science in, real science out. A masterpiece of understanding, dispelling the computer myths of manmade global warming. Please read this book. (David Bellamy )

A wonderful new book. . . . meticulously researched and footnoted. (The Washington Times )

...a thoughtful book by two respected scientists... (National Association of Manufacturers Shopfloor.Org )

Recommended (CHOICE )

This well written book is arguably the best book to date on the politics and science of global warming. (Hawaii Reporter )

t is a very readable book that avoids scientific jargon and does not drown its major points in a flood of data, yet provides 449 references for anyone desiring to find and read the facts found and explained by international researchers. (Philadelphia Bulletin, October 4, 2009 )

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Absolute Rubbish, Mar 1 2008
By 
Boyd Jahnke (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years (Paperback)
I spent 31 years working with the Meteorological Service of Canada. I am sick to death of people with virtually no knowledge of climatology dismissing the work of distinguished scientists with ad hominem arguments and accusations of denial.

There are hundreds of very distinguished atmospheric scientists who do not subscribe to the view that climate change is anthropogenic and thousands of others working in the field who agree with them. Their work is published in the journal Nature, the Journal of the AMA, the Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society and in a host of other scientific journals and in many books. People like Lindzen, Landsea, Wingham, Kirkby, Dyson, Solanki, Tsonis, Kininmonth, Leroux, Christy, Jaworowski, Carter, Gray, Bryson, Segalstad, Svensmark, Abdussamatov, Ollier, Michaels, Motl, Soon, McKitrick and a host of others have offered very convincing evidence that climate change is something that is driven by natural processes.

Richard Lindzen from MIT is probably the most distinguished climatologist in the world. He is a recipient of the AMS's Meisinger, and Charney Awards, and AGU's Macelwane Medal (likely the only man ever to win all three). He is a member of the NRC Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate, and a Fellow of the AAAS1. He is a consultant to the Global Modeling and Simulation Group at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, and a Distinguished Visiting Scientist at Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and has been both a lead author and a reviewer for the IPCC. Dr. Lindzen is willing to debate with anyone, anywhere regarding the anthropogenic view. No one has been able to answer his compelling arguments and few are now willing to debate him because the evidence against the view that CO2 is driving climate change has become irrefutable in its magnitude. He has no relationship with the oil industry and sits on the National Academy of Sciences Committee on Human Rights. He is in complete agreement with Dr. Singer.

Dr. Singer is also a distinguished scientist. He is the first Director of the U.S. National Weather Satellite Service, and was for five years the Vice-Chair of the U.S. National Advisory Committee on Oceans and Atmospheres. He is the founding Dean of the School of Environmental and Planetary Sciences at the University of Miami and is Professor Emeritus of Environmental Science at the University of Virginia and Distinguished Research Professor at George Mason University. He has published more than 400 technical papers in a wide variety of professional journals.

If there is ignorance in this debate, it lies with those who refuse to answer the scientific case that professional climatologists like Dr. Singer and other atmospheric scientists make against the anthropogenic view. I welcome an honest review of the scientific arguments that Singer offers but please stop the ad hominem slanders.

Two other books written by distinguished scientists offering much sound evidence are:

Climate Change: A Natural Hazard by William Kinninmonth (Multi-Science Publshing ~ Essex). Kinninmonth was Director of the National Climate Centre of Australia and Australia's delegate to the WMO Commission for Climatology. He coordinated the United Nations Task Force on El Nino and has served on WMO expert working groups.

Global Warming: Myth or Reality by Marcel Leroux (Springer-Verlag ~ Berlin). Dr. Leroux is Directeur du Labratoire de Climatologie, Risques Natuels, Environnement at the Universite Jean Moulin in Lyons and is one of Europe's leading climatological researchers.

Why don't we agree to evaluate the scientific arguments on the basis of the science and stop attacking and dismissing people on the basis of their supposed motivations and associations? After all, the truth will be found in the science, not in the motives of proponents whichever side they support.

5.0 out of 5 stars out of their league, Oct 13 2008
This review is from: Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years (Paperback)
The only "immoral propaganda" and "rubbish" so far are to be found in two of the negative comments on this book.

Leftist ideologues are easily recognizable by
a) their vicious intolerance for views opposing their own, thus demonstrating complete ignorance of the scientific method
b) their illusion that ad hominem smears are an argument and acceptable substitute for reasoned rebuttal of facts
c) their Chicken Little sky-is-falling catastrophe of the week excitability and
d) their overwhelming hubris admonishing a giant in a field they know nothing about and suppressing his work. One reviewer and his librarian mother actually took it on themselves to denounce a distinguished scientist such as Dr. Singer and possibly divert his book from the library shelves on the basis of their unspecified "research", presumably reading junk science sites.

Librarians who think it's their job to cull books on the basis of their personal ideology should be fired. Book censors should not be running libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can we help it?, Jan 7 2008
By 
Frank D. Baehr (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent book proposing that global warming is caused by natural phenomena and will happen, no matter what we do. Instead of trying to fight it, we might as well accept it and deal with its consequences. Plenty of research shows that there have been underlying cycles, such as a 1500-year cycle in global warming (it was warmer at the time of the Romans, than it is now; the sun is now 30% brighter than it was at the time the Earth was formed, etc.). It is a refreshing counter-argument to all the present hype and brings some sanity into the discussion.
