Mit ihrem geozentrischen Weltbild, bei dem sich die Sonne und das Universum um die Erde drehen, stellten die Machtigen und Einflussreichen des mittelalterlichen Europas den Mensch, bzw. die Erde in den Mittelpunkt des Universums. Ein modernes Pendant unserer Zeit ist der Irrglauben, dass der Mensch durch sein anthropogen erzeugtes CO2 den Klimawandel hervorruft bzw. kontrollieren kann. In dem vorliegenden Buch werden die naturlichen Klimaschwankungen und deren Auswirkungen auf die Temperatur der Erdatmosphare sowie auf den Meeresspiegel der letzten Jahrmillionen beschrieben. Ebenso werden die Ursachen und Prozesse aus geologischer, archaologischer und astrophysikalischer Sicht erklart und diskutiert. Dabei wird deutlich, dass uberaus komplexe astrophysikalische Wirkmechanismen die Klimaschwankungen in periodisch wiederkehrenden lang- und kurzfristigen Zeitabstanden hervorrufen, ohne dass der Mensch dies in irgendeiner Weise beeinflussen kann, auch nicht durch einen erhohten oder reduzierten anthropogenen CO2-Eintrag. Das Buch wurde in einem allgemein verstandlichen Stil fur alle geschrieben, die vom Klimawandel und den umfangreichen Manahmen der Politik betroffen sind und sich ein eigenes Bild dazu machen wollen. Es soll aber auch dem in diesem Themenkreis naturwissenschaftlich arbeitenden Nachwuchs als Anregung und kompaktes Nachschlagwerk dienen.
