S. Fred Singer is an internationally renowned climate physicist, research professor at George Mason University, and the co-author (with Dennis Avery) of Unstoppable Global Warming, a book which describes the natural 1500-year cycle of ups and downs in the Earth's average air temperature.
Singer received a Special Commendation from the White House and a U.S. Department of Commerce Gold Medal Award, for his pioneering work with the U.S. weather satellite program. [1]
- Singer was among the very first to study the cosmic radiation outside of the Earth's atmosphere using rocket-borne instruments. He developed the method used to date the origin of meteorites, and demonstrated how the Moon might have been captured to become a companion of the Earth. He pioneered instrumented satellites before Sputnik and devised instruments for measuring ozone and other atmospheric constituents from space. [1]
Notes
Books
- Hot Talk, Cold Science: Global Warming's Unfinished Debate (1997)
- Climate Policy - From Rio to Kyoto (2000)
- Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years (2007) is filled with wit, style and scholarship. It presents surprising statistics that meticulously dissect the claims of well-funded environmental groups and uncovers little-known facts about global warming. [2]
