What Really Causes Global Warming? - Ward, Peter Langdon

Résumé :
In What Really Causes Global Warming, a new explanation for climate change emerges?it explains observed changes in temperature in far more detail, with far greater accuracy, than greenhouse-gas theory; it shows continued warming is not expected over the next century and that we can continue to use all types of fossil fuels safely, provided we limit pollution.
