<b>Summary of Unsettled - What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t, and Why It Matters - A Comprehensive Summary</b><br /><br />The media, politicians, and other influential voices have declared that "the science is settled" on climate change. In truth, misunderstanding and disinformation have tainted the long game of telephone from study to reports to the public media.<br />The fundamental concerns of how the climate is responding to our influence and what the consequences will be are mostly unsolved. Climate change is happening, but the why and how aren't as obvious as you may have been led to believe.<br />Now, one of America's most illustrious scientists is attempting to dispel the haze by explaining what science actually says (and doesn't say) about our changing climate.<br />Steven Koonin draws on his decades of experience—including as a top science advisor to the Obama administration—in <i>Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters</i> to deliver up-to-date insights and professional perspective free of political agendas.<br />This fascinating, clear-headed, and full-of-surprises book equips readers with the knowledge and skills they need to better comprehend the climate crisis and to be more savvy consumers of science media in general.<br />Prof. Koonin provides a thorough and easy-to-understand examination of the current state of scientific knowledge on global warming and how human-caused greenhouse gas emissions contribute to it. His research shows that separating human effects on climate from the overwhelmingly large impact of natural causes is impossible at this time.<br />Koonin takes readers behind the headlines to the more nuanced science behind the headlines, demonstrating where it comes from and guiding us through the evidence's consequences. He debunks common misconceptions and reveals little-known facts, such as the fact that, despite a massive increase in greenhouse gas emissions, world temperatures actually declined between 1940 and 1970. Furthermore, the models we employ to forecast the future are unable to adequately characterize historical climates, implying that they are fundamentally incorrect.<br />Koonin also discusses society's response to climate change, using data-driven research to demonstrate why many proposed "solutions" would be futile, and how alternatives such as adaptation and, if required, geoengineering can secure humanity's continued prosperity. <i>Unsettled</i> is a hopeful reality check about climate science that you won't find anywhere else—what we know, what we don't, and what it all implies for our future.<br /><br />To be continued...<br /><br /><b>Here is a Preview of What You Will Get:</b><br /><br />?
