The Neglected Sun: How the Sun Precludes Climate Catastrophe (Independent Minds)

The affect of the activity of the sun on climate change has been either scarcely known or overlooked. In this momentous book, distinguished German scientists Professor Dr Fritz Vahrenholt and Dr Sebastian Luning, demonstrate that the critical cause of global temperature change has been, and continues to be, the sun. Vahrenholt and Luning reveal that four concurrent solar cycles master the temperature of the earth - a climatic reality upon which human carbon emissions bear little significance. The present cooling phase of the sun, precisely monitored in this work, renders the catastrophic prospects put about by the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change and the green agenda dominant in contemporary Western politics as nothing less than impossible.

Professor Dr Fritz Vahrenholt is a German scientist, environmentalist, politician and industrialist. With his initial Doctorate in chemistry, Prof Vahrenholt has researched at the Max Planck Institute for Carbon Research at Mulheim. A former Senator and Deputy Environmental Minister for Hamburg, he has served on the Sustainable Advisory Board successively for Chancellors Gerhard Schroeder and Angela Merkel.

Dr habil. Sebastian Luening holds a doctorate in Geology and Palaeontology and has worked on the refiguring of natural ecological changes in geology for 20 years. In 2005-2006 he took on a visiting professorship at the University of Vienna. He is an award winning researcher and is a reviewer for several international geoscience journals. Dr Luening has been a member of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) since 1991.
