In this updated and expanded edition of climate scientist Steven Koonins groundbreaking book, go behind the headlines to discover the latest eye-opening data about climate change--with unbiased facts and realistic steps for the future. nGreenlands ice loss is accelerating. nExtreme temperatures are causing more fatalities. nRapid climate action is essential to avoid a future climate disaster. n nYouve heard all this presented as fact. But according to science, all of these statements are profoundly misleading. n nWith the new edition of Unsettled, Steven Koonin draws on decades of experience--including as a top science advisor to the Obama administration--to clear away the fog and explain what science really says (and doesnt say). With a new introduction, this edition now features reflections on an additional three years of eye-opening data, alternatives to unrealistic net zero solutions, global energy inequalities, and the energy crisis arising from the war in Ukraine. n nWhen it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that the science is settled. In reality, the climate is changing, but the why and how arent as clear as youve probably been led to believe. n nKoonin takes readers behind the headlines, dispels popular myths, and unveils little-known truths: nn n- Despite rising greenhouse gas emissions, global temperatures decreased from 1940 to 1970 n- Models currently used to predict the future do not accurately describe the climate of the past, and modelers themselves strongly doubt their regional predictions n- There is no compelling evidence that hurricanes are becoming more frequent--or that predictions of rapid sea level rise have any validity nUnsettled is a reality check buoyed by hope, offering the truth about climate science--what we know, what we dont, and what it all means for our future.
