Prominent Australian mining geologist Professor Ian Plimer has written a new book which debunks the theory that humans have induced climate change.

The book, Heaven and Earth – Global Warming – The Missing Science, is being released this month through Connor Court Publishing.

Ian Plimer says, “I am one of those rare scientists who, on the basis of evidence, argue that there is no such thing as human-induced climate change. There is certainly climate change which has been with us for only 4567 million years.

“My book on climate change destroys every single argument that has ever been raised about human-induced climate change.

“I use history, archaeology, geology and our understanding of the sun, oceans, ice and atmosphere to show that climates always change, the past changes have been far greater and quicker than anything measured at present and that the changes that really create havoc with humans are the periods of global cooling.

“I just give the science, written in layman's language and supported by references, and I leave the politics of carbon trading, ETS, etc to others. The effects of climate change will have a profound impact on mining in Australia and sales in Asia .”

Ian Plimer says, “Although the book is 500 pages long, has 55 diagrams and 2314 scientific references, it is written for the average person.

“Each chapter poses fundamental questions about climate, the questions we take for granted. I answer these questions. Then I have a chapter summary. This is then followed by a fully referenced chapter text.

“This makes the book readable at three levels. It is in essence a validated compendium of all that is needed to be known about climate change, past and present.”

Ian Plimer is Professor of Mining Geology at the University of Adelaide and Emeritus Professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Melbourne where he was Professor and Head from 1991-2005. His previous book, ‘A Short History of Planet Earth’, won he Eureka Prize.

He says, “The book will ruffle feathers because I stick to the science and ignore ideology, ignore the popular paradigm and ignore politics. However, I use science and those that will attack me will use ideology.
