Evidence-Based Climate Science: Data Opposing CO2 Emissions as the Primary Source
of Global Warming, Second Edition, includes updated data related to the causes of
global climate change from experts in meteorology, geology, atmospheric physics, solar
physics, geophysics, climatology, and computer modeling. This book 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. This analysis is then presented as counter-evidence
to the theory that CO2 is the primary cause behind global warming. Increasingly, scientists
are pointing to data which suggests that climate changes are a result of natural cycles,
which have been occurring for thousands of years. Unfortunately, global warming has
moved into the political realm without enough peer-reviewed research to fully validate
and exclude other, more natural, causes of climate change. For example, there is an
absence of any physical evidence that CO2 causes global warming, so the only argument
for CO2 as the cause of warming rests entirely in computer modeling. Thus, the question
becomes, how accurate are the computer models in predicting climate? What other variables
could be missing from the models? In order to understand modern climate changes, we
need to look at the past history of climate changes. Vast amounts of physical evidence
of climate change over the past centuries and millennia have been gathered by scientists.
Significant climate changes have clearly been going on for many thousands of years,
long before the recent rise in atmospheric CO2 Evidence-Based Climate Science, Data
Opposing CO2 Emissions as the Primary Source of Global Warming, Second Edition, documents
past climate changes and presents physical evidence for possible causes.
