The science is overwhelming; the facts are in. The planet is heating up
at an alarming rate and the results are everywhere to be seen. Yet, as
time runs out, climate progress is blocked by the men who are profiting
from the burning of the planet: Energy moguls like the Koch brothers and
ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson. Powerful politicians like Senators Mitch
McConnell and Jim Inhofe, who receive massive contributions from the oil
and coal industries. Most of these men are too intelligent to truly
believe that climate change is not a growing crisis. And yet they have
put their profits and careers ahead of the health and welfare of the
world's population--and even their own children and grandchildren. How
do they explain themselves to their offspring, to the next generations
that must deal with the environmental havoc that these men have wreaked?
With a new introduction from the authors, Climate in Crisis takes a
very personal look at this global crisis, literally bringing it home.
