Rethinking the Causes of Climate Change Using Three Thinking Hats A First-Principles Audit of Climate Science Using Physics, Thermodynamics, and AI By Walter Shepherd
“The first book to replace climate skepticism with a structured, diagnostic method — powered by AI.”
Is the climate debate settled? Or has it skipped the most basic scientific questions?
In this groundbreaking investigation, science writer and AI systems architect Walter Shepherd launches a full-spectrum audit of climate science — not through politics, but through physics. This book doesn’t argue beliefs. It tests assumptions. Using thermodynamic principles, entropy reasoning, and AI-powered diagnostic tools, Shepherd challenges the core pillars of the IPCC model and
Can rising CO₂ levels be conclusively attributed to fossil fuel emissions?Do greenhouse models respect the energy budget of a planetary heat engine?What happens when we apply scientific quality control, falsifiability tests, and audit logic to Net Zero?Inside, you'll
✔️ A physics-first critique of the greenhouse effect, radiative forcing, and atmospheric attribution ✔️ Side-by-side comparisons of mainstream and alternative climate models using AiQCompare ✔️ A thermodynamic audit of climate policies, including Net Zero ✔️ MegaPrompts to let you run your own AI-powered scientific audits ✔️ A new model of science communication — structured, transparent, and reproducible
Whether you're a scientist, policymaker, journalist, or simply curious, Rethinking the Causes of Climate Change equips you with the tools to diagnose the climate narrative yourself — and to demand more from those who claim to speak for science.
