Fire and Flood: A People's History of Climate Change, from 1979 to the Present

From a seasoned climate change expert, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of our failure to address the crisis. It focuses on the influence of key business interests, arguing they could quickly reverse the situation if they anticipate an economic catastrophe.

Author Eugene Linden, a writer and investigative journalist, began exploring the implications of climate change in 1988. This book presents his compelling argument for the prosecution of our current dire situation. He contends that the same forces that have confused the public and slowed policy response are poised to accelerate as long-term risks become immediate realities.

Linden traces the progression of climate change, public opinion, and political will over the decades, highlighting the pivotal role of business and finance and the insurance industry.
