From Pierre Gosselin writing at Anthony's:

Highly Controversial German Climate Book To Appear Worldwide In English September 1st
Amazon is now showing that Fritz Vahrenholt�s and Sebastian L�ning�s controversial book Die kalte Sonne (The cold sun), released in German last year, is now coming out worldwide in English.

The title of the English version: The Neglected Sun, and the publisher is Stacey International in London.

Their book created quite a stir in Europe, especially in Germany. The warmist establishment pretty much had seizures over it.

Fritz Vahrenholt, chemistry professor, is also the author of the 1986 book �Seveso ist �berall� (Seveso is everywhere), a book on the deadly risks of chemical pollution. That book made him one of the fathers of Germany�s modern environmental movement. Until just a couple of years ago Vahrenholt was a big believer in anthropogenic global warming, and accepted the IPCC gloomy reports as the final word on the subject � until one day he began taking a closer look at the real data. He couldn�t believe some of the shenanigans going on in the science, and so together with geologist Dr. Sebastian L�ning, he co-authored Die kalte Sonne.

Despite a massive orchestrated campaign by environmental activists against Die kalte Sonne, it soared to No. 1 on the Spiegel bestseller list. That success has obviously served as the springboard to the English edition. Now it�s going to be hitting bookshelves worldwide.

According to Amazon, the book will be available on September 1 and it can already be pre-ordered. Interestingly its release is right before the IPCC�s 5th assessment report. Talk about timing. The Neglected Sun can be pre-ordered at any bookshop.

Got a copy on order. I have always held that our Sun is the key driver in global climate and our Sun is well known as a variable star. Something interesting is that sunspots are an accurate proxy for solar emissions so even though thermometers are still a recent invention (300 years for anything accurate and reproducible), people have been observing sunspots for thousands of years -- there is a major correlation between warming and cooling and sunspot numbers. Our Sun is currently running a lot cooler than what has been recently 'normal' -- there is an indication that we could be headed into another minima. Time to stop flogging the political dogma and get real...
