Summary:
""Surging sea levels are inundating the coasts." "Hurricanes and tornadoes are becoming fiercer and more frequent." "
Climate
change will be an economic disaster." You've heard all this presented as fact. But according to
science
, all of these statements are profoundly misleading. When it comes to
climate
change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that "the
science
is settled." In reality, the core questions -- about the way the
climate
is responding to our influence, and
what
the impacts will be -- remain largely unanswered. The
climate
is changing, but the
why
and how aren'
t
as clear as you've probably been led to believe. Now, in "In Unsettled:
What
Climate
Science
Tells
Us
,
What
It
Doesn
't, and
Why
It
Matters
," Steven E. Koonin draws upon his decades of experience -- including as a top
science
adviser to Obama administration -- to provide up-to-date insights and expert perspective free from political agendas. Koonin takes readers behind the headlines to the more nuanced
science
itself, dispelling popular myths and unveiling little-known truths: despite a dramatic rise in greenhouse gas emissions, global temperatures actually decreased from 1940 to 1970.
What
's more, the models we use to predict the future aren'
t
able to accurately describe the
climate
of the past, suggesting they are deeply flawed. "Unsettled" is a reality check buyoyed by hope, offering the truth about
climate
science
that you aren'
t
getting elsewhere --
what
we know,
what
we don'
t
, and
what
it all means for our future."--Jacket.
