The Chilling Stars: The New Theory of Climate Change
The Chilling Stars: The New Theory of Climate Change – Review
I widely read this book not because I like contentious theories but just because I originally wanted to have a different perspective on climate change. The image of cosmic rays going cloud formation is very interesting indeed since water vapor is the main player in the albedo of the planet and is the major contributor to the greenhouse effect. Latest investigations though, shows that in the last 20 years cosmic rays have greatly increased, and temperatures in earth remain rising but I wonder if 20 years can settle this debate since I’m not positive changes in some variable are accurately reflected immediately in temperature. I agree that anthropogenic changes have adversely affected earth climate, but I’m not extremely convinced that is the special reason. We want to learn more about climate because, for instance, the ices ages cannot be fully explained just by the Milankovich cycles. In my opinion there is something else and we want to maintain directly monitoring all the variables actively involved in order to have a better awareness of this critical issue.
