This completely updated new edition of Weather Cycles: Real or
Imaginary? explores in detail the unresolved debate on the existence
of weather cycles. The book examines the competing arguments for
observed effects being due to natural variability, solar activity and
the Earth's orbital parameters. It provides a different perspective on
one of the most difficult questions in the current global warming
debate: namely, just how much of the recent temperature rise can be
attributed to natural causes? Only by understanding how the climate
can change of its own accord, and whether observed shifts are part of
a set of predictable patterns, will it be possible to reach a reliable
judgement on how much impact human activities are having. This book
examines the complex analysis required to assess the evidence for
cycles with a minimum of mathematics. This comprehensive and balanced
account will appeal to the student and expert alike.
