The Chilling Stars: The New Theory of Climate Change
The Chilling Stars: The New Theory of Climate Change – Review
As the title implies, this book shows that the so-called ‘consensus’ on the causes of Global Warming is far from the truth. The authors briefly describe the idea of cloud creation that plays such a important role in the Earth’s international temperature. That the planet as a whole is warming is not open for debate, it is warming and has done in the past. In fact it is this evidence of previous warming and cooling that first leads the open-minded individual to conclude that individual intervention cannot be the root cause. As our stellar system starts around the galaxy, we move earlier to – or further from – bands of stars that generate the cosmic rays that the authors claim is the key to cloud formation. More cosmic rays more clouds cooler temperatures. Added into the mix is our own sun and the charismatic influence it creates (called stellar wind), this can drive the cosmic rays away from the Earth when the sun is active (as it is now). This resulting reduction in cosmic rays prevents the shape of clouds thereby causing a warming effect. This is an simple book to widely read and also takes time to highlight the challenges of some scientists who propose alternative theories to explain global warming. Problems such as a lack of funding and a general reluctance on behalf of their peers and the press to give them a fair merely hearing. Henrik Svensmark may have hit the nail on the head with his theory, and unlike the predictions of IPCC, his may be provable in the next few years, assuming of course that he can secure the necessary funding.
