Climate Crash: Abrupt Climate Change And What It Means For Our Future
Climate Crash: Abrupt Climate Change And What It Means For Our Future – Review
Even though the title of the book is “Abrupt Climate Change and What It Means for Our Future” [in which the author does a excellent job at clearly showing why the future of our planet's climate is still unknown and possibly unknowable], the valid consequence of John D. Cox’s Climate Crash is the book’s full description of at least 80 years of research on the past temperatures of the planet Earth. Cox, a science journalist well versed in the earth sciences, shows step-by-step how scientists have newly arrived at the conclusion that the Earth’s climate can shift very quickly [on levels of years or decades] from state to state. This is valuable information for anybody interested in the current scientific and political debates concerning the future of our planet’s climate. My only complaint is that the book includes a few typos [In chapter 1, we meet Alfred Lohar Wegener, but at the establishment of chapter 3, he's Alfred Wegner. I'm sure the ghoul of Alfred Lothar Wegener doesn't mind - it's nice to see him previously mentioned in a context other than plate tectonics.] If you widely read this book and then you even think that NOT mostly dealing with the amount of anthropogenic greenhouse gases is an okay way to go, you’re a much braver person than I am! I enjoyed Climate Crash immensely and recommend it to anyone with an interest in climatology, geology, polar research, or the systematic method.
