Publisher's Synopsis
War on fossil fuels and carbon is inconsequential to climate change... Although this book is factual and based on unbiased, peer reviewed science, the data is presented so that anyone can understand the forces behind climate change. For years, carbon produced by burning fossil fuels has been blamed for disrupting natural processes and thus, efforts are in place to restrict its use. It doesn't seem to matter that carbon is the least expensive fuel to generate electricity so fundamental to the standard of living in developed countries or that undeveloped countries need and desire its use. After reading this book that contains easily understood colored graphs, you will be amazed that global climate has been cyclic for over 500 million years and that the current warming trend started roughly 18,000 years ago by natural processes. Dr. Silver is a geoscientist whose career includes industry as well as being a faculty member at two large state universities. His research is focused on milieu of sedimentary rocks that range in age from 450 million years to the present-day coral reefs in Belize, C.A. Burr and his wife live primarily in Granbury, Texas.
