Climate Chaos How the Planets Drive Our Climate

This book is a forensic investigation of the suspects accused of the crime of 'climate change'. First the author looks for clues in the long history of the Earth and finds evidence for many factors: the Sun itself, geophysics including plate tectonics, the evolution of new life forms and their biological processes. We also look at the solar system and the galaxy beyond and discover that the Earth is far from isolated in space...and therefore vulnerable.We take time to look at the recent sequence of ice ages which teaches us much about the Earth's own ability to regulate climate and compare all this with the claims about CO2 based 'global warming'.In fact the evidence shows us that global near surface temperatures have not increased for over 18 years and all the IPCC approved climate forecasts of runaway global temperatures have been wrong. Why this has happened will become clear.Given these problems with the 'climate consensus' we look for clues in some of the heretical theories which prove helpful.In particular the author compares the mathematical 'fingerprints' of the Sun with many geophysical and climate 'fingerprints' and finds a remarkably close match.Much climate and weather variation, even earthquake energy release, can be clearly linked to solar variation.The author similarly uses 'fingerprinting' and other published evidence to show that, amazingly, planetary dynamics strongly modulate the Sun's activity and thence our climate on times scales from years to millennia. By bringing together much recent research the author analyses what is currently happening to global climate and makes outline forecasts for what is in store for the rest of the 21st century.Forget global warming; worry about a quiet Sun and global cooling.
