Product Description
In this New York Times bestseller, authors Singer and Avery present the compelling concept that global temperatures have been rising mostly or entirely because of a natural cycle. Using historic data from two millennia of recorded history combined with natural physical records, the authors argue that the 1,500 year solar-driven cycle that has always controlled the earth's climate remains the driving force in the current warming trend.

I am a solar physicist, who has also studied climate change, and atmospheric dynamics. I do not find such books to be anything more than bunk. The author is a well known bunk writer. If you wish to believe in the tooth fairy, you will like this book. Otherwise, read less uplifting books, such as an "inconvenient truth", or the technical writings of the GISS (goddard institute for space science) group (without governmental whitewash), or the NAS (national academy of science ) reports on global change.
Although a natural variability (from the Sun) exists, they totally support the view that the current variability is associated with manmade greenhouse warming..

I cannot yet rate this, but since I must give a rating, will give it a 5 as I do believe I will find I agree with the materials presented. I have had no time to even scan it.

When the ice in your drink melts, does the glass overflow?
In fact when ice melts it contracts so there is LESS water volume.
Yes, I know, there's always Antartica (which is actually growing) and glaciers and........whatever.
The point being that we, as puny, self-rightous humans, have absolutely nothing to do with the geophysical rhythms of our planet. It's going to do what it wants to do regardless of what mental-defectives like ALGORE think.
Cripes, the clown thinks he invented the internet!
Try shutting off the electric service to your house and lock it up for a year.
What you'll find upon returning will be a disaster.
ALGORE: "I can't get over losing the election even though I ran an inept campaign so I'll create an 'I told you so....' hysteria for people even dumber than I am."
Don't fret.... we'll all be dust by the time "it" happens anyway.
Enjoy life. It'll be over before you know it.
Don't be a dummy all your short life...... vote Republican.

In his excellent book, "Heat - How to stop the Planet from Burning," author George Monbiot unmasks Fred Singer as the paid puppet that he is. The website www.exxonsecrets.org lists over 100 organizations which have taken money from Exxon to spread the illusion that the science on climate change is contradictory, the scientists are split, environmentalists are charlatans. My question to Singer, his co-author, and Exxon executives is this: Don't you want to see your children live, too? Do you have some alternate planet where they're going to be able to spend all that money you're hoarding? Executives who fund public misinformation campaigns should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity. That this book is the first to come up when you put in a search for "global warming" should be exhibit A. After the Exxon execs have been strung up, the Philip Morris sociopaths should be next, for their underwriting of the website junkscience, created as a pretzel logic means of casting doubt on the link between smoking and cancer by also questioning global warming.
As an intercepted memo from the tobacco company Brown & Williamson stated, "Doubt is our product since it is the best means of competing with the 'body of fact' that exists in the mind of the general public. It is also the means of establishing a controversy."

The releasing of methane gas from the perma-frost, lakes, and ocean can happen within the next couple of yrs due to the rapid warming of the ocean. Check this out for more detail.
