Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years written by Siegfried Fred Singer and Dennis T. Avery and published by Rowman & Littlefield asserts that natural changes are the cause of Global Warming and not CO₂ emissions. They also discusses the politics of the Kyoto Protocol.

Synopsis

Over sixteen chapters the authors present their view of the natural cycles in the earth`s climate and why they believe the current warming period is not caused by man-made greenhouse gas emissions.

It begins with what the authors claim is earth`s climate time-line, starting from the formation of the earth 4.8 billion years ago and leads up to the present. The book ends with the chapter titled "The ultimate failure of The Kyoto Protocol" This chapter covers the Russian refusal to sign the treaty to them eventually doing so. It also covers what the book says is Russia`s excess amount of Carbon Credits which they gained from the collapse of the Soviet Union, which the book argue`s will be purchased by European nations to off set the rising emmision`s within the EU.

Reception

Mike Hulme writing for The Guardian said, "Deploying the machinery of scientific method allows us to filter out hypotheses - such as those presented by Singer and Avery - as being plain wrong" and that the book "from Singer and Avery can be understood in a different way: as a challenge to the process of climate change science, or to the values they believe to be implicit in the science, rather than as a direct challenge to scientific knowledge".

Richard W. Rahn writing in The Washington Times said, "There is a wonderful new book, "Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years," by distinguished climate physicist Fred Singer and award-winning environmental economist Dennis Avery. The conclusion of their book in a nutshell is that, yes, the world is getting a bit warmer, but this is just the natural cycle. They provide overwhelming evidence this warming would occur with or without mankind increasing CO2 emissions or doing anything else."

Debra J. Saunders writing for the San Francisco Chronicle and the St. Petersburg Times has said, "Unstoppable Global Warming – Every 1,500 Years, that argues that the Earth warms every 1,500 years due to a solar-linked cycle. The book begins in the year 1100 when Vikings grew vegetables on Greenland, where the population reached 3,000 before creeping glaciers and cold killed the remaining residents. Now, Greenland is warm again."

Dr Jay Lehr writing in News Weekly said, "The book is truly amazing! It meticulously supports, with hundreds of detailed, published references, the clear facts and conclusions that the Earth's climate has been travelling a well-defined roller-coaster path of temperature change for at least 900,000 years".
