  Abstract:  Global warming is an important subject on both the scientific community as well as on public and politic agendas. In the recent years the debate over this issue have focused on explaining the causes of the phenomenon, i.e., whether it is caused (or amplified) by human activities or it is part of natural climate variability. In this respect, a long list of reference books became available, one of the most recent being the book by Batarbee and Binney (Eds.): Natural climate variability and global warming: a Holocene perspective , published by Wiley-Blackwell in August 2008. It addresses “one of the key questions facing climate scientists today: how important is natural variability in explaining global warming?” (Batarbee, 2008).
