Boiling point: how politicians, big oil and coal, journalists, and activists are fueling the climate crisis--and what we can do to avert disaster
Gelbspan, Ross
Boiling point: how politicians, big oil and coal, journalists, and activists are fueling the climate crisis--and what we can do to avert disaster - 1st ed. - New York, Basic Books, 2004 - xvii, 254 pages; 22 cm
"Argues that, unchecked, climate change will swamp every other issue facing us today. Indeed, what began as an initial response of many institutions-denial and delay-has now grown into a crime against humanity. Gelbspan's previous book, The Heat Is On, exposed the financing of climate-change skeptics by the oil and coal companies. In Boiling Point, he reveals exactly how the fossil fuel industry is directing the Bush administration's energy and climate policies as payback for helping Bush get elected. Even more surprisingly, Gelbspan points a finger at both the media and environmental activists for unwittingly worsening the crisis. Finally, he offers a concrete plan for averting a full-blown climate catastrophe."
