SUNLIGHT ON CLIMATE CHANGE explains in understandable terms the science of how both natural and human-caused global warming work. It describes how expensive and doubtful strategies, adopted by governments to comply with the goals of the Paris Agreement, have caused and will continue to cause increased human emissions of carbon dioxide, contribute to unhealthy air quality and significantly increase food costs for the very poor. It explores why declarations of a climate emergency are based on a political agenda, not scientific facts, and invites the reader to reconsider this belief system in the light of science.

Carbon dioxide has physical limitations as a greenhouse gas; global warming began a prolonged pause in 1998. Choosing classical science over politicized pseudo-science is not denial, it is heresy.

5.0 out of 5 stars There's no such thing as settled science.
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2021

This book provides a well-articulated challenge to the global warming narrative. The author lays out his arguments professionally and diplomatically with good charts and visuals. If the global warming proponents are certain of their position (e.g., claims that 97% of scientists agree), then they shouldn't fear contrary points of view. The vehemency by which they often react against books such as this belies their own doubts. Due to the topic I need to add this caution...Whatever an author's position is on this or any other subject: Don't censor them! You read it or don't read it. The choice is yours and should be yours alone.

This book is important for anyone that is prepared to look beyond the headlines, to read past the abstract of research, and to read between the lines. It includes a more complete analysis of the factors that cause climate change, and practical steps that will take the climate conversation in more thoughtful and effective directions.

Fortunately I had the privilege of hearing an early draft of this book while hiking Mount Kilimanjaro in October 2016. Each day included a conversation about the big questions — leadership lessons, an overview of climate change, and even a conversation about human’s need for hierarchy.

I’m looking forward to continuing the conversation, asking questions, and exploring ways to protect our planet — powered by science and first principles rather than politics.

This book explains the various climate mechanisms as well as I have read in any other book or article. The author uses great analogies to clarify his points and doesn’t labour with heavy science. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Gift For Anyone (including tremulous teens)
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2021
Whether you're new to climate science or consider yourself an expert, Sunshine is the disinfectant you need to clean up one of the most politicized subjects in modern times. It explains in easy-to-understand chapters everything you ever wanted to know about climate change but were afraid to ask. I considered myself a bit of an armchair expert on climate change so this was the perfect refresher course. I also learned quite a few new things. For newbies, this is a must. It's also not political, but scientific.
He explains CO2's minute role in the carbon cycle and how exactly it interacts with photons, the outsized role of the IPCC, and the absurdity of the phrases "settled science" and "consensus science." Both are anathema to science, as most of you were taught in HS and/or college. But unlike a textbook, Sunshine is an enjoyable read. It's informative without being hectoring. It's science-based without being geeky.
Barmby also dissects the so-called climate crisis (there isn't one, not by a long shot), and shoots so many holes into the theory of global warming it looks like a global pincushion.
He also shows how activist scientists are intentionally misleading people and rewriting climate history on Earth. Anyone can do it: simply change the dates that history officially began and you can create any chart you want. Does anyone think the Earth only started producing weather in 1979? How does NASA/NOAA get away with rewriting temperature data, which are then adopted by the official meteorology organizations around the world?
But honest scientists who aren’t reliant on grants and funds and awards are still plugging along and producing non-alarmist studies that never make the news (they don’t report the planes that land safely, remember?).
If you get your news from the big 3 networks or the sundry cable news outlets (aside from a few lesser-alarmist outlets), then you probably think the End Times is around the corner. That's because before the climate change fever took hold, we used to call weather events the "weather."
We've all seen it: in the summer when a hurricane strikes, it's called climate change. In the winter when a blizzard strikes, it's called weather. Sunshine clears all this up and more and reassures the reader that the apocalypse isn't around the corner or even the end of the century. If you know or have a child that is terrified or anxious about climate change, have them read this book. I'd say someone 13 years or older could easily grasp much of the content. Or give this as a gift to yourself for your sanity and erudition. You won't be disappointed!
PS: I got this as a gift and it's now one of my go-to books on climate change (aka global warming).

An thoughtful discussion about "Climate Change". Using scientific facts and common sense the author has an easy to follow writing style without the hype usually associated with the subject matter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Science That Even the Climate Alarmists Cannot Deny
Reviewed in Canada on May 29, 2023

Chapter 1 hooks you immediately, by clearly explaining the cycle of energy absorption and dispersal on planet earth, thus giving you a reason to want to understand more. Mr Barmby clearly explains all the concepts around Global Warming that I intuitively knew but couldn't put into words. Thank you Ron Barmby. This should be required reading for everyone who believes that the political agenda of the Paris Accords is really about Global Warming.

5.0 out of 5 stars A climate change heretic's balanced view - no need to panic
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 1, 2022
Verified Purchase
This is an excellent book for anybody – like me - who is confused or worried by the Climate Change rhetoric constantly shouted at us. The author, Ron Barmby, is a Canadian engineer with 40 years' experience in geosciences all over the world. He regards himself not as a Denier but rather as a Heretic in what has become the Climate Change religion.

As he says, the climate is changing, always has done and always will. He acknowledges that humanity must be influencing it to some - probably quite small - extent, as do all other animals and plants. But he then shows very clearly that many times in the pre-industrial past the climate has been considerably warmer even than the current alarmist projections.

Chapter 1 is a very amusing and informative mock-legal trial of carbon dioxide where the Prosecution case is set out asking the Jurors (readers) to convict the gas for the damage it is said to be causing, while the Defence presents the case that far from causing damage, carbon dioxide is vital to all life on Earth.

Later chapters set out very clearly how the relevant statistics have been cherry-picked and manipulated to back up the apocalypse scenario. And the famous 97% of scientists said to agree with the IPCC “faith” is shown to be totally erroneous.

5.0 out of 5 stars 170 pages of good sense
Reviewed in Canada on April 5, 2022

Written by an engineer for a lay audience, this should be required reading for all hyper-ventilating drama queens about climate to bring them back to earth. They are NOT "saving" future generations but are causing measurable harms to people living now on the basis of junk science that is widely disseminated to advance leftist ideology. Never have so many been stampeded into so much destruction on the basis of a delusion that they're doing good when they're too lazy to do their homework. Anyone using the words "consensus", "settled" and "deniers" is poorly acquainted with the scientific method or if a credentialed scientist, is prostituting his discipline for his ideology like Lysenko of the USSR. Galileo was one man against the consensus of his day who turned out to be right because he had the evidence and it was replicable by his detractors.
