Climate change is the most important scientific issue of our time, catalyzing a profound societal shift based on our perceived understanding of it. While many books explain what we already know about climate change, this book explores what we admit we do not understand about it. In doing so, it reveals a previously overlooked mechanism of climate change, one that operates in the background and eludes the scrutiny of prevailing climate theories and models. Astonishingly, this phenomenon is clearly evident in numerous climate studies, casting a new light on climate change that warrants a critical reevaluation of many of the conclusions presented in the IPCC Assessment Reports.


Regardless of your position on climate change or your familiarity with the underlying science, this book offers a wealth of knowledge and a profound shift in your understanding of the dynamics that govern climate variability. With 134 illustrations (black and white in the paperback edition), this book aims to make climate science accessible to a broad audience, and only you, the reader, can ultimately determine the extent to which it succeeds in this goal.

Industry Reviews

Javier Vin³s has produced a masterful summary of observational facts about Earth's climate and the theories that have been proposed to explain them. I know of no other book that presents so many detailed and interesting facts about Earth's climate. This is a long book but well worth reading for the excellent figures alone. Its extensive references to original papers are a valuable resource.

Dr. William Happer, Physicist. Professor emeritus, Princeton University. Former director of the Department of Energy's Office of Science


Vin³s' journey towards identifying meridional heat transport as the driver of climate change represents the process of science at its best. "Solving the Climate Puzzle" will change the way you think about climate change.

Dr. Judith Curry, Geophysical scientist. Professor emerita, Georgia Institute of Technology. President, Climate Forecast Applications Network (CFAN)


The unique achievement of Dr. Vin³s in this book is his ability to tell the complex scientific stories as simply as possible and no less. He has assembled in this powerful new book a lot of fresh scientific insights and understanding that are second to none, so congratulation for all of you that are willing to study it.

Dr. Willie Soon, Astrophysicist and Geoscientist. Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Center for Environmental Research and Earth Sciences (CERES)
