Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is not possible to understand the present or future climate unless scientists can account for the enormous and rapid cycles of glaciation that have taken place over the last million years, and which are expected to continue into the future. A great deal has happened in the theory of the ice ages over the last decade, and it is now widley accepted that ice ages are driven by changes in the Earth's orbit. The study of ice ages is very inter-disciplinary, covering geology, physics, glaciology, oceanography, atmospheric science, planetary orbit calculations astrophysics and statistics.

This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery of TRUE PLANETARY MOTIONS has eluded all previous early and late astronomers from Tycho Brahe,Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Newton, Einstein, Carl Sagan, Milankovich et al. They all made their projections of planetary motions based on a STATIONARY rotating Sun. For 400 years the inaccurate and incomplete works of Kepler and others are still on the books and acepted in the annals of Astronomy and Science. They could never have discovered True Planetary Motions based on a stationary Sun! The theory of shifting continents and tectonics is now reduction ad absurdum. Man has some clues into ice-ages, magnetic pole shift etc., yet they all still think that the Earth "flips over" or summersaults overnight! (thus the prevailing Hollywood sensationalism of the recent movie "2012"). Up to today no one has discovered the accurate projections of true planetary motions based on projecting from the center of the ellipse of a moving Sun, as in my discovery. Specifically, these true orbital projections made from the center of the ellipse of a moving Sun have everything to do with the accurate guaging of regularity and predictable cycles of such mentioned events. Answers to these above and many yet unanswered questions will now be evident in my discovery of TRUE PLANETARY MOTIONS AND RHYTHMIC CLIMATIC CHANGES. The day of long term forecasting and predictions of catastrophic changes is now here. With this manuscript and accurate charting of the DISCOVERY OF THE CENTURY in this book release of TRUE PLANETARY MOTIONS AND RHYTHMIC CLIMATIC CHANGES~ we can now prepare for cyclical pole shifts and accurate forecasting of the accompanying cyclical climatic manifestations we are witnessing TODAY! With this discovery, we will now be able to prepare long term forecasting of cyclical population explosions, rising oceans,glaciations,ice-ages and hot-spells that wreck havoc upon mankind in every 6,000, 12,000 and 25,000 year cycles in complete rhythmic order of the universe. My projections will accurately gauge and demonstrate these cycles in exact detail based on the motions of a moving Sun on the inner hub of our galaxy. Global warming and the green house effect have occured before many, many times in geological time. Mankinds contribution is too infinitismal to have any affect on the extremely long term cycles of climate change(as this manuscript will accurately reveal). We can now adjust navigational charts and keep up with the shifting magnetic poles of Earth as the Sun makes its round on the inner hub of our galaxy. All previous astronomers, none of them,could have disovered TRUE PLANETARY MOTIONS projecting calculations on a stationary Sun! If only these eminent scientists had deduced a way or had they given birth to the idea making all projections from a point at the center of the Suns ellipse while the Sun made its round on the inner hub of our galaxy,the long term forecasting of ice-ages and catastrophic climatic changes would have been possible earlier in this century. John Gribbin also said, I quote: Today it is clear from many similar investigations and other geological evidence that glaciations, ice-ages, occur simultaneously in both hemispheres of the globe. This rules out the Milankovitch theory and supports my theory. On my discovery projection clock, an ice-age occurs when the Sun in its orbit on the inner hub of our galaxy, and arrives at points 6 and points 12 on my astronomical projection time clock. Catastrophic climatic changes occur every at least four times like clockwork within 25,000 year cycles. We are at point 6:30 in this cycle, as the Sun moves anti-clockwise in its orbit. We are already into the present ice-age, evident by the accompanying pre-existing climatic manifestations. Earth is spiraling into the climax of the current ice-age within 1,000 years, that will last another 2,000 years! My accurate projections of TRUE PLANETARY MOTIONS will prove this accurately, this i
Download or read book Heaven and Earth written by Ian R. Plimer and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Earth is an evolving dynamic system. Current changes in climate, sea level and ice are within variability. Atmospheric CO2 is the lowest for 500 million years. Climate has always been driven by the Sun, the Earth's orbit and plate tectonics and the oceans, atmosphere and life respond. Humans have made their mark on the planet, thrived in warm times and struggled in cool times. The hypothesis that humans can actually change climate is unsupported by evidence from geology, archaeology, history and astronomy. The hypothesis is rejected. A new ignorance fills the yawning spiritual gap in Western society. Climate change politics is religious fundamentalism masquerading as science. Its triumph is computer models unrelated to observations in nature. There has been no critical due diligence of the science of climate change, dogma dominates, sceptics are pilloried and 17th Century thinking promotes prophets of doom, guilt and penance. When plate tectonics ceases and the world runs out of new rocks, there will be a tipping point and irreversible climate change. Don't wait up.

Download or read book What We Know about Climate Change updated edition written by Kerry Emanuel and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An updated edition of a guide to the basic science of climate change, and a call to action. The vast majority of scientists agree that human activity has significantly increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere—most dramatically since the 1970s. Yet global warming skeptics and ill-informed elected officials continue to dismiss this broad scientific consensus. In this updated edition of his authoritative book, MIT atmospheric scientist Kerry Emanuel outlines the basic science of global warming and how the current consensus has emerged. Although it is impossible to predict exactly when the most dramatic effects of global warming will be felt, he argues, we can be confident that we face real dangers. Emanuel warns that global warming will contribute to an increase in the intensity and power of hurricanes and flooding and more rapidly advancing deserts. But just as our actions have created the looming crisis, so too might they avert it. Emanuel calls for urgent action to reduce greenhouse gases and criticizes the media for downplaying the dangers of global warming (and, in search of “balance,” quoting extremists who deny its existence). This edition has been updated to include the latest climate data, a discussion of the earth's carbon cycle, the warming hiatus of the first decade of this century, the 2017 hurricanes, advanced energy options, the withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement, and more. It offers a new foreword by former U.S. Representative Bob Inglis (R-SC), who now works on climate action through his organization RepublicEN.

Download or read book Long Term Changes in the Earth s Climate written by Joseph J. Smulsky and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-30 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relatively small climate fluctuations, such as the warming period that was observed in recent decades, occur over periods of tens and hundreds of years, and are called near-term climate fluctuations. More significant climate changes occur over periods of tens of thousands of years, and they are called long-term climate changes. As a result of the interaction of the Earth with the Moon, the Sun and the planets, the orbital and rotational movements of the Earth are evolving. The orbit itself rotates counter-clockwise in its plane, making a complete revolution in 147 thousand years, and its axis makes one revolution in 68.7 thousand years around a certain direction. The axis of rotation of the Earth also rotates clockwise in 25.7 thousand years around another direction. In addition, these axes also exercise oscillatory movements. As a result of the evolution of these movements, the insolation of the Earth and, consequently, the Earth’s climate undergo changes. These long-term changes in the Earth’s insolation are analyzed in the astronomical theory of climate change, first proposed by M. Milankovich almost one hundred years ago. This book presents a new version of this theory. In contrast to the previous version, the problems concerning the evolution of the orbital and rotational movements of the Earth are solved here in a different way, with new results obtained. These new results coincide with observations and with the warming and cooling periods that took place in the Earth’s history. This book is intended for a wide range of readers of different specialties and ages. It can be used by both undergraduate students and graduate students in preparation of their term papers and dissertations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Brilliant and fundamental, this is the necessary book about our prime global emergency. Here you’ll find the facts, the processes, the physics of our complex and changing climate, but delivered with eloquence and urgency. Lawrence Krauss writes with a clarity that transcends mere politics. Prose and poetry were never better bedfellows.” —Ian McEwan, Booker Prize-winning author of Solar and Machines Like Me "The ideal book for understanding the science of global warming..at once elegant, rigorous, and timely." — Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prizewinning author of The Sixth Extinction “A brief, brilliant, and charming summary of what physicists know about climate change and how they learned it.” —Sheldon Glashow, Nobel Laureate in Physics, Metcalf Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Boston University “The distinguished scientist Lawrence Krauss turns his penetrating gaze on the most pressing existential threat facing our world: climate change. It is brimming with information lucidly analysed. Such hope as there is lies in science, and a physicist of Dr. Krauss’s imaginative versatility is unusually qualified to offer it.” —Richard Dawkins, author of The Blind Watchmaker and Science in the Soul “Lucid and gripping, this study of the most severe challenge humans have ever faced leads the reader from the basic physics of climate change to recognition of the damage that humans have already caused and on to the prospects that lie ahead if we do not change course soon.” —Noam Chomsky, Laureate Professor, University of Arizona, author of Internationalism or Extinction? “Lawrence Krauss tells the story of climate change with erudition, urgency, and passion. It is our great good luck that one of our most brilliant scientists is also such a gifted writer. This book will change the way we think about the future.” —Jennifer Finney Boylan, author of Good Boy and She’s Not There “Everything on climate change that I’ve seen is either dumbed down and bossy or written for other climate scientists. I’ve been looking for a book that can let me, a layperson, understand the science. This book does just what I was looking for. It is important.” —Penn Jillette, Magician, author of Presto! and God, No! “The renowned physicist Lawrence Krauss makes the science behind one of the most important issues of our time accessible to all.” —Richard C. J. Somerville, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego “Lawrence Krauss is a fine physicist, a talented writer, and a scientist deeply engaged with public affairs. His book deserves wide readership. The book’s eloquent exposition of the science and the threats should enlighten all readers and motivate them to an urgent concern about our planet’s future.” —Lord Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal, former president of the Royal Society, author of On the Future: Prospects for Humanity

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether on personal health, politics, or climate change, we are constantly bombarded with more numerous 'breaking news' articles than we have time for. In such an environment, how can we tell which to read, or which is even true.Science of the Earth, Climate and Energy helps readers understand major issues that affect us individually and the world as a whole.In language that a non-scientist can follow easily, the book first explains the general principles of science, its nature and how it works, with a certain degree of emphasis on the meaning of the words 'uncertainty' and 'fact, before it goes into the related topics of the earth, its climate and energy sources at a level that does not require a background in science. Finally, the book addresses what individuals and societies can do to mitigate problems associated with both climate change and limited resources.Related Link(s)
