The Heat Is Online |
Description |
This site, based on the book The Heat Is On, by Ross Gelbspan, (Perseus Books,1997):
· Lays bare the central drama: the ability of this planet to sustain civilization vs. the survival of the fossil fuel industry (a 6,000-word text overview);
· Catalogues the last four years of increasingly frequent and severe extreme weather events all over the world;
· Provides a digest of the major scientific findings about global warming;
· Documents a pervasive and very successful industry campaign of deception and disinformation (and details the U.S. politics of climate change at the beginning of 1999);
· Outlines a global solution which could begin to stabilize our inflamed climate while, at the same time, triggering an unprecedented gain in the overall equity and wealth of the global economy. |
