Clear Thinking About Climate Change

Description

Ever heard of the North American Inland Sea? You’ll learn about it, and its relevance to whether recent global warming is historically unprecedented, in Warren Cole Smith’s great new booklet Clear Thinking about Climate Change.

What are fossils of marine animals doing in Iowa? Ditto.

Were many scientists really warning of global cooling forty to fifty years ago? You can read the evidence in Clear Thinking about Climate Change.

What was the impact of the Medieval and Roman Warm Periods on human wellbeing? How about the Little Ice Age? What’s the difference between weather and climate, and how does that relate to debates about dangerous manmade global warming?

What are the roles of the sun, and oceans, and clouds and volcanoes in global warming and cooling? How do they compare with the role of “greenhouse gases” like carbon dioxide and methane? Which is the most important “greenhouse gas”?

Are we likely to face something like the Maunder Minimum in the next few decades? Just what was the Maunder Minimum, when did it occur, and what was its effect on global temperatures?

Warren Cole Smith answers all these questions, too, and many more, in Clear Thinking about Climate Change. And he answers them in non-technical language, yet supports his answers with references to authoritative data and publications.

This is the perfect introduction to the debate, whether you’re a believer or a skeptic of dangerous manmade warming, whether you’re an adult or a teenager, a citizen of a highly developed, wealthy country, or of a developing country whose people struggle to make ends meet.
