<p>This updated and revised new edition of <i>Assessing Climate Change </i>deals with the full gamut of essential questions in<i> </i>relation to global warming and climate change, uniquely<i> </i>providing a balanced and impartial discussion of this<i> </i>controversial subject. It shows that most of what is “known”about the Sun, historical climates and projections for the future lacks foundation and leaves great room for doubt.</p><p><i>Assessing Climate Change </i>(3rd Edition) examines the credibility of the global climate models which accuse greenhouse gases of causing the temperature rise of the 20th century, and provides a better understanding of the uncertainties regarding what might lie ahead in the future. Carefully considering the “evidence” brought forward by both alarmists and skeptics, this book:</p><p>• has been brought completely up to date to end 2013;<br>• examines the measurements of near surface temperatures<br>on Earth and how much we can rely on them;<br>• includes hundreds of graphs showing the data;<br>• compares the current global warming trend with past climate fluctuations;<br>• provides a systematic review of climate change in nearly all of its aspects;<br>• expands the discussion of potential impacts of global warming (from whatever cause);<br>• includes nearly 1000 references specific to the climate literature.</p>
