| Peter Evans is an ordinary young attorney, a junior associate of the law firm representing wealthy philanthropist George Morton, a major donor to environmentalists organizations. Mr. Evans believes all the things that he has been told that he should believe, such as the immediate and catastrophic danger of global warming. As events unfold, Mr. Evans receives a practical as well as scholarly education.
A shadowy F.B.I. or C.I.A. character emerges, on the trail of eco terrorists who are in league with the environmentalists in an effort to cause catastrophies in various parts of the world to prove the effects of global warming. He whisks Peter Evans with him, along with two lovely ladies, to various parts of the globe trying to foil these plots. There is a warning throughout the book against wild enthusiasms, corrupted science, and believing everything you hear. The book contains charts, graphs, footnotes, and an extensive bibliography. | ||
