Scorcher
The
dirty politics of climate change
This is the book that blows the
whistle on the politics of global warming in
Australia. Why have our political leaders been
so slow to act? Which are the fossil-fuel lobby
groups that still set the policy agenda? Who
are the 'greenhouse mafia'? How many different
ways can one spin, deceive, lie and obfuscate
instead of facing facts and looking for the solutions
that are desperately needed?
In Scorcher, Clive Hamilton reveals a shadow
world of lobbyists and sceptics, spin and hidden
agendas. He investigates a deceitful government
and compliant media, and he lays out the facts
about Kyoto, carbon emissions and what governments
and individuals might do, and have done.
Written with humour, urgency and great authority,
this is the definitive account of the politics
of climate change in Australia.
Format: 153 x 235 mm, 272 pages, paperback.
