Written by Christopher Essex and Ross McKitrick. Published by Key Porter Books Ltd., 2007. Description: |
“Irreverent and devastating ... Essex and McKitrick effectively demolish most of what you think you know.” – The Globe and MailThe physical phenomena in climate and weather are among the most complex in nature, and science can say very little about what they will do in the future. Yet a large international policy framework has been built precisely on the assumption that we know what is happening and how to control it. In Taken by Storm, Christopher Essex and Ross McKitrick prove this assumption false, carefully explaining the science of climate change and deconstructing the simplistic concept of global warming. They argue that this issue is leading to an unprecedented rupture between science and society, and they propose a vital first step toward repairing the relationship. About the authors: Dr. Christopher Essex is a professor of applied mathematics and director of the program in theoretical physics at the University of Western Ontario. He was a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) postdoctoral fellow at the Canadian Climate Centre, and an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow. In 2006, he has appointed to the NSERC. Dr. Ross McKitrick is an associate professor of economics at the University of Guelph. He specializes in the application of economic analysis to air pollution trends, environmental policy design and climate change. |
