August 20, 2008: Because there is so much riding on the global response to climate change, I wanted to seek out any science-based info that would present a counter argument to the view that rising levels of carbon dioxide will cause catastrophic warming for the Planet. This book presents a fairly compelling case which indicates that other natural factors, like the Sun, for example, may be a much stronger driver of climate that human produced emissions of carbon dioxide. The implications of creating a whole new energy source within 10-20 years are immense and will cause unprecedented levels of economic turmoil if that course of action is taken. If on the other hand, our impact on current warming is relatively minor in comparison to the natural forces that have governed the climate for millions of years, then surely we would be infinitely better off enacting adaptation strategies as a response to climate changes and converting to other sources of energy over a longer time scale. There are certainly thoughtful people on both sides of this issue and I'm not ready to dismiss altogether the possibility that humanity is indeed having a significant impact on the climate system--however, I'm also not going to dismiss scientific evidence that appears to indicate that our industrial activities play a much lesser role in the climate equation. 'Unstoppable Global Warming' presents much in the way of physical evidence to support its conclusions and left me with the feeling that the science is decidedly not yet settled on this crucial issue, as many would have us believe.
