Climate Crash: Abrupt Climate Change and What It Means for Our Future Hardcover – International Edition, May 2, 2005
...
<p>As scientists carefully search for clues in the sun and storm patterns from our distant past, they are gradually writing a new history of Earth's climate. Layers extracted from cores drilled into glaciers and ice sheets, sediments collected from the shores of lakes and oceans, and growth rings exposed in ancient corals and trees all tell the same surprising story.</p>
<p>It is now apparent that alterations in our climate can happen quickly and dramatically. Physical evidence reveals that centuries of slow, creeping climate variations have actually been punctuated by far more rapid changes. While this new paradigm represents a significant shift in our picture of Earth's past, the real question is what it means for our future.</p>
<p>Many researchers are now quietly abandoning the traditional vision of a long, slow waltz of slumbering ice ages and more temperate periods of interglacial warming. While they've long recognized the threats posed by global warming, they must now consider that the natural behavior of our climate is perhaps a greater threat than we'd imagined. And though there is no need for immediate alarm, the fact that changes in our climate can happen much more quickly than we'd originally thought—perhaps in the course of a human lifetime—makes it clear that science has a lot of questions to answer in this area. What are the mechanisms for triggering a significant climate change? In what ways should we expect this change to manifest itself? When will it likely happen? <i>Climate Crash</i> seeks to answer these questions, breaking the story of rapid climate change to a general public that is already intensely curious about what science has to say on the topic.</p>

Want to understand the core of the essential global warming and climate change debate and why the climate alarmists are wrong? Pick this short yet highly informative book
Climate Basics: Nothing to Fear (Tharsis Highlands) by Rod Martin, Jr.
The seven chapters in this book address the biggest claims about global warming and climate change that are echoed all around by mainstream media and establishment science. These include the alleged alarming rise in global temperature, outpouring of carbon dioxide by human activities into the atmosphere, disastrous storms supposedly caused by climate change, and the impact of climate change on our future. The author addresses each question separately and educates readers with the basics of environmental science to show how the mainstream media have been scaremongering people on presumed horrors of climate change when there is nothing to fear far as these claims go.
As the book gives us a crash course in environmental/climate science, it informs on how the atmospheric carbon dioxide content in our time compares with that of various historical periods and why we should be really worrying if our earth was getting colder instead of warmer. The author warns us of the dangers of an overall cooling climate and how we, still living in an interglacial period, could be at risk of perishing should the earth cooled rapidly to lead us into another ice age that is hostile to life’s sustainability on the planet. The author calls out the media and climate change alarmists for their political bias and dishonesty.
Like any good science writer, Rod Martin Jr. backs his claims with scientific data in form of graphs in each chapter and plenty of references at the end of the book. Also included are helpful online resources to get more information on the science that mainstream media will not report.
Climate Basics: Nothing to Fear is easy to understand, is mostly free of jargon, and comes with valuable resources to make it a commendable book of essential environmental science.
