Does someone have a pointer(s) to a recent, unbiased review article on
the causes of major climate changes?

There is an article here;
http://www.aip.org/history/climate/rapid.htm

but be aware no one knows how rapid change happens. That is
the big danger. It could be just around the corner.

Thanks, Alastair. Very nice review--just what I was looking for.
As you say, it's more documentation that rapid changes have occurred,
and not just in polar regions. Scary stuff.

Have you (or others) read his book?
