The Heat Is On: The Climate Crisis, The Cover-up, The Prescription (Signed!) [B1244]

1997 signed HCDJ 1st edition in excellent condition. For your climate justice library-a 1st edition copy inscribed to our WA District-22 Senator Karen Fraser (1993-2017) by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ross Gelbspan. This book not only brings home the imminence of climate change but also exposes the campaign of deception by big coal and big oil and conservative politicians to undermine the public confidence in science and thereby defer action against global warming. This riveting expose is a spirited call to action against the corporate disinformation campaign that threatens us all. It examines the various arenas in which the battle for control of the issue is being fought--a battle with surprising political alliances and relentless obstructionism. The story provides an ominous foretaste of the gathering threat of political chaos and totalitarianism. And it concludes by outlining a transition to the future that contains, at least, the possibility of continuity for our organized civilization, and at best, hope for vast increase in the stability, equity, and wealth of the global economy.

From recent-ish Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "This book did a fair and impartial job of exposing the errors and weaknesses of global warming skeptics, back when the issue was still a bit controversial. Now the environmentalists have been vindicated, and the book stands as a stark "I told you so" to the many deniers and nay-sayers of the day."; "A great journalistic dive into the climate crisis with an investigative look into the fossil fuel industry's misinformation campaign during the 90's."
