Environmental lawyer Peter Evans becomes entangled in a global conspiracy when he discovers that a radical group is orchestrating catastrophic weather events to simulate the effects of climate change. Guided by secret agent John Kenner, Evans travels from the Antarctic ice shelves to the Arizona desert and the jungles of the South Pacific. The narrative integrates technological data and scientific citations to challenge the consensus on global warming, asserting that politicized science and media-driven fear have created a "state of fear" used to control public perception and policy.
This book serves readers who enjoy techno-thrillers rooted in skepticism and controversial scientific debates. It appeals to those interested in the intersection of environmental policy, litigation, and data analysis. Readers finish the story with a skeptical perspective on how non-governmental organizations and mass media package scientific information. It provides a detailed look at the mechanics of eco-terrorism and the legal frameworks surrounding environmental advocacy, leaving the audience to question the reliability of computer modeling and institutional research.
Outward-looking, clear-cut and escapist; a moderate read.
Best for readers like The Curious Generalist. Which reader are you?
