The Neglected Sun: Why the Sun Precludes Climate Catastrophe

The effect of the sun's activity on climate change has been either scarcely known or overlooked. In this momentous book - first published in German as Die kalte Sonne in 2012 - Professor Fritz Vahrenholt and Dr. Sebastian Lüning demonstrate that the critical cause of global temperature change has been, and continues to be, the sun's activity. Vahrenholt and Lüning reveal that four concurrent solar cycles master Earth's temperature - a climate reality upon which man's carbon emissions bear little significance. The sun's present cooling phase, precisely monitored in this work, renders impossible the catastrophic prospects put forward by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the alarmist agenda dominant in contemporary Western politics.

Professor Fritz Vahrenholt is a German scientist, environmentalist, politician, and industrialist. With his initial doctorate in chemistry, Vahrenholt has researched at the Max Planck Institute for Carbon Research at Mühleim. 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 Lüning holds a doctorate in geology and paleontology. For twenty years he has worked on the refiguring of natural ecological changes in geology. In 2005 2006 he was a visiting professor at the University of Vienna. Since 2007 he has worked as an Africa expert in the oil and gas industry. A reviewer for major geoscience journals, Lüning has been a member of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) since 1991.
