Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years written by Siegfried Fred Singer and Dennis T. Avery and published by Rowman & Littlefield explores the possibilities that natural changes are the cause of Global Warming and not CO2 emissions.
Synopsis
Over sixteen chapters the authors explore the natural cycles in the earth`s climate and why they believe the Current Warming period is not caused by man made Greenhouse Gas emissions.
It begins with what the authors claim is earth`s climate time-line, starting from the formation of the earth 4.8 billion years ago and leads up to the present. The book ends with the chapter titled "The ultimate failure of The Kyoto Protocol" This chapter covers the Russian refusal to sign the treaty to them eventually doing so. It also covers what the book says is Russia`s excess amount of Carbon Credits which they gained from the collapse of the Soviet Union, which the book argue`s will be purchased by European nations to off set the rising emmision`s within the EU.
Reception
Richard W. Rahn writing in The Washington Times said, "There is a wonderful new book, "Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years," by distinguished climate physicist Fred Singer and award-winning environmental economist Dennis Avery. The conclusion of their book in a nutshell is that, yes, the world is getting a bit warmer, but this is just the natural cycle. They provide overwhelming evidence this warming would occur with or without mankind increasing CO2 emissions or doing anything else."
Debra J. Saunders writing for the San Francisco Chronicle and the St. Petersburg Times has said, "Unstoppable Global Warming – Every 1,500 Years, that argues that the Earth warms every 1,500 years due to a solar-linked cycle. The book begins in the year 1100 when Vikings grew vegetables on Greenland, where the population reached 3,000 before creeping glaciers and cold killed the remaining residents. Now, Greenland is warm again."
Vin Suprynowicz writing for Las Vegas Review-Journal said, "In the book "Unstoppable Global Warming – Every 1,500 Years," authors S. Fred Singer and Dennis T. Avery point out that scrapping every car, truck and SUV in America would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by only about 2 percent. Meantime, merely extinguishing all the coal deposit fires that continue to burn unchecked around the world would reduce those emissions by 2 to 3 percent. Which is a more sensible thing to try?"
Barry Wigmore writing for the Daily Mail said, "Authors Dennis Avery and Fred Singer looked at the work of more than 500 scientists and argue that these experts are doubtful the phenomenon is caused by man-made greenhouse gases."
