SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR (OCTOBER 2019):Despite the number of 5-star reviews far outnumbering the 1-star reviews, and this book being a #1 BEST SELLER in a MATH AND SCIENCE CATEGORY, Amazon algorithms are burying the positive reviews at the expense of a few negative reviews which are inaccurate, uninformed, and irrational. I have responses to the featured negative reviews but they are hidden until you click and "Comment and " to write one yourself. If you found this book and are able to LEARN AND THINK FOR YOURSELF this is your chance to arrive at your own understanding of the facts and science behind the climate change hysteria. Thank You. - C.F.In all of the debate and discussion about climate change, why hasn't anyone explained the science in plain and simple terms clear enough to understand - once and for all?"Great [analysis]. Just the right amount of science. Common sense and rational." - Wayne R.The greenhouse effect is always quoted - but that is a METAPHOR. What is the fundamental physical process that drives it?And how exactly does human activity play such a powerful role with it?How did we go from worrying about global warming to climate change...to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions? and "Great book - should me mandatory reading for anyone that uses the term 'Climate Change' and " - Amazon purchaser MacsugarAre there gases more powerful and influential in the greenhouse effect than CO2?Yes, by many factors of ten!Why aren't we spending more time, money, and attention focusing on those??Smart people want to get to the point of a problem and solve it as quickly, inexpensively, and effortlessly as possible. They know about the Pareto Principle, and you will too after you read this book. It is also called the 80 20 rule. What happens when we apply that principle to the global climate change "consensus"?"Thank You! I always thought the numbers were small, but I never took the time to do the math." - Mike S.There are many books that are long, technical, and - frankly, irrelevant - on the topic of climate change. Here are the most important questions that nobody has bothered to answer in straightforward, simple and short language, until * What are basic facts about our planet's atmosphere? And what do they tell us about the fundamental physics of climate change?* What are the basic physics and assumptions behind the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) hypothesis or belief? Are they valid?* What element or compound is the single greatest factor in temperature control in our atmosphere? Hint - it isn't carbon dioxide. How does carbon dioxide compare with this other chemical? and "Takes less than an hour to read... A must-read for every official policy-maker at every level... This deserves 6 stars out of 5! and " - Terry Dunleavy (Amazon reviewer)Before we spend more time, money, and emotional energy on the presumed EFFECTS and CONSEQUENCES of global warming and climate change (things like rising temperatures, rising sea levels, etc., etc.), shouldn't we all have a BASIC UNDERSTANDING of the FUNDAMENTAL PROCESSES AND PHYSICS of our planet's atmosphere?"Very good. I am a geophysicist." - Ben B.Even better, you'll learn (or re-learn) a very simple and indisputable fact about our atmosphere that makes the entire controversy look ridiculous. Use this information as a test (or a bet) the next time you talk with someone on the "other side" of the climate change debate."A very useful contribution to bringing sanity and reason back to the analysis of AGW." - Tom P.CALVIN FRAY has also published a blank composition notebook with a simple illustration on the cover that every climate change alarmist needs to see.
