If you are bothered by greenwashing, baffled by eco-denialism, and
bewildered by our seemingly inexorable march toward global environmental
catastrophe, this book is for you. In a not-so-distant future, in a
world ravaged by climate change and invasive pests, humanity still
chooses self-deception over sacrifice. Even the ubiquitous green flies
buzzing around our heads don't concentrate our minds on what humanity's
survival requires. When a sly US Senator and a jaded propagandist
concoct a longshot and cynically opportunistic "environmentalist"
campaign for the Presidency, it looks like just more of the old, phony
politics. But then things start to get real. And hilarious. And hopeful.
Because the politician and the propagandist start to care about the
planet. As they begin telling voters the truth, they also stop lying to
themselves. If you remain hopeful that maybe it's not too late, that
against the odds humanity might still get it together and face reality -
and especially if you haven't lost your sense of humor -- you will love
The Environmental Alarmist.
