Short description
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 presents a perceptive and a subtle study of such moods in the collective unconscious.
Long description
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.
