Produktinformationen zu „The Real Global Warming Disaster “
Booker focuses his attention on the mother of all environmental scares: global warming.
Klappentext zu „The Real Global Warming Disaster “
For several years now the fear of global warming has continued to inspire a frenzy of articles, books and debates on the subject. What is the cause of this hysteria? Booker and North demonstrate how many supporting the thesis that global warming is man-made fit into a very recognizable ideological pattern. Blame for global warming is placed directly on the greed and materialism of the richer Western nations in general, and on the USA and the giant corporations in particular. This book is a most perceptive and subtle study of such moods in the collective unconscious. Based on scientific fact rather than mere assertion, the aim is to demonstrate man-made global warming as a myth.

Autoren-Porträt von Christopher Booker
As a noted commentator on the political, social and psychological history of our time, Christopher Booker has in recent years, through his weekly Sunday Telegraph column, become the most conspicuous' global warming sceptic' in the British press. He has based his view on exhaustive research into the scientific evidence for and against the theory of 'man-made climate change'. His professional interest in this issue grew out of research for his previous book Scared The Death, co-written with Dr Richard North, a study of the 'scare phenomenon' which has been such a prominent feature of Western life in recent decades. Booker's other recent books have included The Seven Basic Plots, a best-selling analysis of why we tell stories which has established itself as a standard text (also published by Continuum). He has been an author and journalist for nearly 50 years, and was the founding editor of the satirical magazine Private Eye.
