Climate change is the most important scientific issue of our time, catalyzing a profound societal shift based on our perceived understanding of it. While many books explain what we already know about climate change, this book explores what we admit we do not understand about it (the known unknowns). In doing so, it reveals a previously overlooked mechanism of climate change, one that operates in the background and eludes the scrutiny of prevailing climate theories and models. Astonishingly, this phenomenon is clearly evident in numerous climate studies, casting a new light on climate change that warrants a critical reevaluation of many of the conclusions presented in the IPCC Assessment Reports.

Regardless of your position on climate change or your familiarity with the underlying science, this book offers a wealth of knowledge and a profound shift in your understanding of the dynamics that govern climate variability. With 134 illustrations (black and white in the paperback edition), this book aims to make climate science accessible to a broad audience, and only you, the reader, can ultimately determine the extent to which it succeeds in this goal.

Climate change books by Javier Vinós from Critical Science Press

Climate of the Past, Present and Future
Solving the Climate Puzzle

Editorial Reviews

Review

Javier Vinós has produced a masterful summary of observational facts about Earth's climate and the theories that have been proposed to explain them. I know of no other book that presents so many detailed and interesting facts about Earth's climate. This is a long book but well worth reading for the excellent figures alone. Its extensive references to original papers are a valuable resource.
Dr. William Happer, Physicist. Professor Emeritus, Princeton University. Former director of the Department of Energy's Office of Science

Vinós' journey towards identifying meridional heat transport as the driver of climate change represents the process of science at its best. "Solving the Climate Puzzle" will change the way you think about climate change.
Dr. Judith Curry, Geophysical scientist. Professor Emerita, Georgia Institute of Technology. President, Climate Forecast Applications Network (CFAN)

The unique achievement of Dr. Vinós in this book is his ability to tell the complex scientific stories as simply as possible and no less. He has assembled in this powerful new book a lot of fresh scientific insights and understanding that are second to none, so congratulation for all of you that are willing to study it.
Dr. Willie Soon, Astrophysicist and Geoscientist. Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Center for Environmental Research and Earth Sciences (CERES)

About the Author

Dr. Javier Vinós has spent decades researching neurobiology and cancer at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the University of California, UK's Medical Research Council, and the Spanish Scientific Research Council. His scientific publications have been cited over 1,200 times by his peers. In 2015 concerns over the effects of the indisputable climate change that is taking place led him to study climate science. Since then he has consulted thousands of scientific articles, and analyzed data for dozens of climate variables and hundreds of climate proxies, becoming an expert in natural climate change.

Plausible alternative theory to the CO2 Enhanced Effect as the control knob of climate change.

A brilliant exposition of climate change science.

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2023

Verified Purchase

This is a great follow-up to his prior book, called "Climate of the Past, Present, and Future." Javier skillfully integrates key geophysical sciences (meteorology, geography, paleontology, and many others) into his discussions of how and why our climate changes. His findings are fully supported by volumes of data, peer-reviewed references, along with many climate-change examples and supporting graphics. He also explains the numerous shortcomings of climate models, while at the same time systematically illustrating how his "Winter Gatekeeper" hypothesis logically explains how the sun is the dominant climate change control mechanism.

John M. Cape, Author of Poorly Zeroed: A Net Zero Travesty.

Profound Analysis - Time to Stick a Fork in the IPCC Narrative - It's Officially Dead

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2023

I have pored through every nonfiction climate science book and most of the major articles from the leading climate skeptics. I've also read a number from those loyal supporters of the IPCC's narrative. This is, by far, the best climate science book I’ve ever read.

The author takes much of the in-depth technical analysis that he utilized in his recently released textbook, “Climate of the Past, Present and Future: A Scientific Debate” and packages it in a way that makes it accessible and intelligible to the average nontechnical reader.

It will take you some time to fully navigate all of his technical insights and research. However, if you undertake this journey, by the time you finish, my bet is that you will think about the world's climate future quite differently.

He sets out compelling arguments that gut the IPCC’s Enhanced Carbon Dioxide Effect hypothesis. The politicized scientists, money grubbing academics, and numerous politicians who have terrorized us all with their alarmist notions are clearly left high and dry. Why pretend that such players should be taken seriously when Javier’s hypothesis is vastly more compelling, credible, and inescapable?

Those that seek to force the premature abandonment of fossil fuels, cite flawed arguments for the need to implement decarbonization, and misdirect vast public investment programs – your days are numbered. Climate science will soon be back in the hands of the “grown-ups” once this material is more broadly disseminated.

Natural climate drivers play a key role in climate change

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2023

Javier has produced an excellent comprehensive review of climate change. This book is easy to read and understand with supporting graphs and references. As Javier discusses, the climate system is complex and he examines natural climate drivers in addition to the popular CO2 emissions hypothesis. He offers an alternative hypothesis of meridian heat transport and energy loss at the Arctic as a key climate regulator. If you want more detail, I also recommend his previous book, "Climate of the Past, Present, and Future.

Very good coverage of climate and authors points out what is unknown.

Reviewed in Canada on December 23, 2023

Verified Purchase

Comprehensive explanation of how the earth's Climate system function and points out the unknows and the current conflict in hypotheses. Where there are chalenging viewpoints, the author pointsout and point out known weakness. As newer information becomes available, old hypotheses require a re-analysis. Very well written but requires some knowledge of physics.
Highly recommended

Dr Javier Vinós is Einstein and Sherlock Holmes rolled into one. This book will change everything.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 15, 2024

Verified Purchase

Haven't finished reading this yes, but have to tell you about already. It's a complete game changer.

Dr Javier Vinós was frustrated that the IPCC et al cannot answers to many pertinent questions about how the climate has behaved, for example, what caused:

• Little Ice Age, the coldest period in the last 10,000 years, occurred between 1300 and 1845.

• The pronounced warming of the early 20th century, pre-fossil fuels.

• The significant melting of the Arctic between 1915 and 1930, followed by a cooling trend until the 1980s. There is a clear but inverse (1) correlation of sun activity and polar temperatures. Why?

• The surprisingly close correlation between the speed of rotation of the earth (measured very accurately since the 1960s with atomic clocks) and solar activity.

So Dr Vinos spent 9 years reading scientific papers and examining the long history of climate data going back over thousands of years (the Babylonians recorded sun activity) to try and find out why we can't answer these simple questions.

Given we are looking to overturn the whole world's energy and economic system surely we should be confident on the causes of the climate changes above?

His work resulted in the very convincing "Winter Gatekeeper Hypothesis” which has great explanatory power, including all the effects above which are connected. (Can you work out how?)

Good theories make predictions. If the predictions align with data, that's encouraging. And Dr Vinos's do align, far better than the "CO2 is the dominant climate driver hypothesis" which cannot explain the above points. The IPCC say the sun has negligible effect on climate... what a mistake-a to make-a!
