Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition
Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition – Review
This is a highly important book in the overall debate on global warming. While critics will likely pan this book in typical mechanical fashion, it does actually acknowledge (as does nearly everyone in this debate) that global warming exists. What this book explores and discusses, however, are chronological trends which appear to indicate that this trend is more physical phenomenon than man-made disaster. Are humans impacting this phenomenon? It is quite likely. But is this impact significant? No one can answer this question with any level of certainty. The price of this book is that it takes the rational approach to this debate. Rather than viewing global warming narrowly, as so many others have, it looks at chronological trends dating back to early eras. It has long been known that the Earth experiences both major and small times of cooling. The last mini ice age ended in the late 1700’s and we currently continue to experience a warming trend appearing out of the period. What will occur next? Another mini ice age, or a major one? As the authors’ argue, it is not global warming we should fear; rather, we should be wary of what must inevitably follow.
