Description
Physicist Steven Koonin challenges public perception regarding the threat that climate change poses for this world and even questions the veracity of the reports citing indications of climate change. Public announcements of hazardous weather changes, rising oceans, droughts, higher temperatures, melting glaciers and other menacing environmental features are confronted in the book titled Unsettled, which probes into these troubling issues.
This newest edition of the book contains updated findings to challenge the misperceptions related to climate that alarm the public. The author claims and provides evidence that the media, politicians, and even at times, the assessment reports misrepresent or misinterpret what the science says about climate and catastrophes. The climate is changing and we play a role in this phenomenon, yet the energy provided by fossil fuels will still be required to energize both the advanced and underdeveloped worlds.
The aim of this book is to challenge the misrepresentations of what the science says to the non-scientific public. This is a recommended text for those interested in learning the basics along with the problems associated with climate science.
