Discover the truth behind climate change with Steven Koonin's compelling book, *Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters*. This insightful exploration challenges the prevailing narratives around climate science, revealing that the conversation is far more nuanced than commonly portrayed.
Koonin, a leading figure in US science policy and a former science advisor for the Obama administration, delves into the misconceptions surrounding climate change. This Wall Street Journal Bestseller invites readers to reconsider widely accepted statements, including the claims that climate change will lead to devastating economic consequences or that extreme weather patterns are solely attributable to a warming planet.
In *Unsettled*, you'll uncover the complexities of climate science that the mainstream media often overlook. Koonin emphasizes the ongoing debates and uncertainties in climate research, making it clear that while the climate is indeed changing, the reasons behind this change remain less understood than we've been led to believe. This book is essential for anyone looking to grasp the real science of climate change, separating fact from fiction and opinion.
Gain access to expert insights and a wealth of knowledge as Koonin sheds light on what scientific research indicates about our environment. *Unsettled* is a crucial resource for those who want to engage in informed discussions on climate policy and science, making it a must-read for students, professionals, and climate enthusiasts alike.

Description:
From Steven Koonin, a leader in US science policy and former science advisor for the Obama administration, Unsettled is an up-close, apolitical exploration of the many misconceptions and shortcomings in the mainstream presentation of climate science-which is far less black-and-white than many people realize.
***Wall Street Journal Bestseller***
"Surging sea levels are inundating the coasts."
"Hurricanes and tornadoes are becoming fiercer and more frequent."
"Climate change will be an economic disaster."
You've heard all this presented as fact. But according to science, all of these statements are profoundly misleading.
When it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that "the science is settled." In reality, the long game of telephone from research to reports to the popular media is corrupted by misunderstanding and misinformation. Core questions-about the way the climate is responding to our influence, and what the impacts will be-remain largely unanswered. The climate is changing, but the why and how aren't as clear as you've probably been led to believe.
Now, one of America's most distinguished scientists is clearing away the fog to explain what science really says (and doesn't say) about our changing climate. In Unsettled- What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters, Steven Koonin draws upon his decades of experience-including as a top science advisor to the Obama administration-to provide up-to-date insights and expert perspectiv
