TAKEN BY STORM explores the science, policy and debate over global warming.

The physical phenomena in climate and weather are among the most complex in nature, and science can say very little about what they will do in the future. Yet a large international policy framework has been built precisely on the assumption that we know what is happening and how to control it. In TAKEN BY STORM, Christopher Essex and Ross McKitrick prove this assumption false, carefully explaining the science of climate change and deconstructing the widespread myth of global warming. They argue that the connection between between science and society is disintegrating, and they propose a vital first step toward repairing this relationship.

Dr. Christopher Essex is a Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Western Ontario, specializing in the underlying mathematics, physics and computation of complex dynamical processes such as climate. He is a visiting professor at the Niels Bohr Institute's Orsted Laboratory, and previously served as an NSERC visiting fellow at the Canadian Climate Centre and an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow.

Dr. Ross McKitrick is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Guelph (Ontario) and a Senior Fellow of the Fraser Institute in Vancouver, B.C. He specializes in the application of economic analysis to environmental policy design and climate change.
