Global Cooling Poses Bigger Threat
than Global Warming, Author Says
In this timely publication, award-winning geologist Shigenori
Maruyama reveals that according to palaeoclimatic
data, the next glacial age may start anytime
TOKYO, Japan – Author Shigenori Maruyama, in
his newly published book Approaching
Crisis of Global Cooling and the Limits to Growth, stresses that the
atmospheric temperature will become cold instead of warm in the near future,
unlike what most academic societies and governments force citizens to believe.
This book, translated by Prof. Masaru Yoshida and Vernon Spencer to English
from the original Japanese version, was written by the author out of his belief
of social responsibility as the scientist.
“The current trend in the world is to
blame carbon dioxide for global warming and does not allow questioning such a conclusion
or giving contrary opinions,” Maruyama shares. “I have found it very dangerous
that the world is forced to dance to such a small theme, in spite of the
existence of more serious problems that we have to struggle with spending time
and money collaborating together.”
According to the
author, the atmospheric temperature of the earth will surely become cold,
because most of major controlling factors of the atmospheric temperature, i.e.,
solar activity, cosmic rays, and geomagnetism are changing in a way to the
cooling. He says that the effect of carbon dioxide gas should not be too much
evaluated.
Maruyama states that by basing on the past global climatic change, one
can predict to some extent the future climatic change. “Global cooling will
come in 2035, and food production will decrease, the population is expanding
and the shortage of food and drain of natural resources result in the limits to
the growth of the human society. All these conditions together corroborate to
bring a severe crisis to human beings in near future,” he adds.
Appealing to all
readers who seriously consider the future of the human race, Approaching Crisis of Global Cooling and the
Limits to Growth suggests measures on how to overcome the world’s
approaching predicament.

Prof. Shigenori
Maruyama was born in 1949 in Tokushima Prefecture, Japan. After graduating from
Tokushima University, Japan where he earned his
bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees, he studied at Kanazawa University and Nagoya University in Japan, and Stanford
University in the United States and then joined the Tokyo Institute of
Technology in 1989. He has served there as the professor in the Science and
Technology School since 1993.
Professor
Maruyama is a geologist studying earth and planetary sciences. His new theory
on the movement of the whole mantle of the earth gave a strong impact on the
earth science world and resulted in his receiving the Geological Society of
Japan medal and the Purple Ribbon Medal of the Japanese government. His major publications include the following: The Earth System and the Evolution of Life (Springer), Superplumes:
Beyond Plate Tectonics (Springer), What
Has the Earth Been Doing for the past 4.6 Billion Years? (In Japanese,
Iwanami Shorten, Tokyo), A Tale of Science Worth Saving in Your Heart
(In Japanese, Kyoken Shuppan, Tokyo), etc.
