Synopsis

Global warming and human-induced climate change are perhaps the most important scientific issues of our time. These issues continue to be debated in the scientific community and in the media without true consensus about the role of greenhouse gas emissions as a contributing factor. Evidence-Based Climate Science: Data opposing CO2 emissions as the primary source of global warming objectively gathers and analyzes scientific data concerning patterns of past climate changes, influences of changes in ocean temperatures, the effect of solar variation on global climate, and the effect of CO2 on global climate to clearly and objectively present counter-global-warming evidence not embraced by proponents of CO2.

About this title

About the Author

Dr. Don Easterbrook has done extensive research into the of global climate changes, global warming and cooling, as well as the cause of abrupt global climate changes at the end of the last Ice Age. He studies the relationship of 25-30 year glacial and ocean warming and cooling cycles to solar variation and global warming and cooling. Additionally, he has analyzed the correlation of Quaternary inter-hemispheric climate changes, the of radiocarbon marine reservoir values, Holocene glaciation of the Cascade Range, and the Holocene climate changes, otherwise known as The Little Ice Age. He has analyzed the tephra and lahar chronology of Mt. Baker, and has extensively used shorelines to determine isostatic uplift rates in the Puget Lowland.

From the Back Cover

Climate change is arguably the most important and most controversial environmental science issue of our time. The debate over its causes continues in the scientific community and in the media without true consensus about the role of greenhouse gas emissions as a contributing factor.

Evidence-Based Climate Science: Data opposing CO2 emissions as the primary source of global warming objectively gathers and analyzes a vast amount of scientific data from experts in meteorology, geology, atmospheric physics, solar physics, geophysics, climatology, and computer modeling. It examines patterns of past climate changes, influences of changes in ocean temperatures, the effects of solar variation, and the effect of CO2 to clearly present counter-global warming evidence not embraced by proponents of CO2.

Key features:

• Authored by the world’s leading climate scientists, each with more than 25 years of experience in the field
• Offers an unbiased analysis of scientific data―readers can see for themselves the evidence for the amount and timing of global temperature changes
• Includes extensive analysis of the physics of CO2 as a greenhouse gas and its role in global warming
• Provides comprehensive citations, references, and bibliography
• Presents adaptation strategies as alternative reactions to greenhouse gas emission reductions
