Bestselling author and investigative journalist Ian Wishart tackles the issue of the century - global warming.
.
In December this year, world leaders will gather in Copenhagen to usher in "a new Kyoto" protocol, conservatively estimated to cost taxpayers in Western countries somewhere in the region of US$45 trillion.
.
For many people, this will mean increases in personal taxes of several thousand dollars a year, and/or much higher prices for food, goods and services because of new emissions caps and taxes.
.
With that sort of money at stake, there are several big questions Wishart asks in Air Con
.
1. Is global warming actually happening?
.
2. Is it caused by human activities?
.
3. Is there really anything we can do to prevent it?
.
4. Are climate scientists and the United Nations telling the truth?
.
5. What's really behind the push for the Copenhagen Treaty?
.
The answers to these questions may shock you. Air Con is a must-read for every New Zealander, and is the most up-to-date book on global warming available in the world. With chapters like, 'What Cars Did The Dinosaurs Drive?', and 'Fancy A Cold Bear?' , this is an easy to read title using everyday language to explain the growing evidence against human-caused global warming.
