Praise for Horsemen of the Apocalypse
“When in the near future the climate implodes and misery envelops
the planet, you will know the criminals against humanity who were
most directly and personally responsible from [Horsemen of the
Apocalypse].”
—Ross Gelbspan, author The Heat Is On and Boiling Point
“Dick Russell and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. have brilliantly laid bare
the horsemen of the apocalypse and their cronies who are now
steering the American ship of state and are bent on committing
hara-kiri on the agreements, agencies, and regulations that are a
bulwark against their own country’s and the world’s plunge into
disaster.”
—Homero Aridjis, Mexican poet, novelist, ambassador, and
environmental activist; president emeritus of PEN International
"As the impacts of climate change grow increasingly visible in our
daily lives, so must our understanding of the forces that are
conspiring to stop actions to mitigate those impacts. This book
lays bare how those forces, borne largely of self interest, are
trying to make sure the US continues to add to global carbon
pollution, the primary factor in climate change. With the new Trump
administration trying to roll back president Obama's actions, this
is a timely and essential read for everyone concerned. "
—Margo Oge, author of Driving the Future: Combating Climate Change
with Cleaner, Smarter Cars
“This may be the most important book yet on the climate crisis . .
. and by the way, it’s fun to read. Dick Russell’s keen research
and sharp writing unpacks the complex sordid tale of fossil fuel
corporations and their henchmen, from the Koch brothers to Exxon to
Peabody coal, who have systematically held us back from solving
climate change, using denial, deception, and ruthless power.”
—Kert Davies, director, Climate Investigations Center
“In Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Dick Russell lays out the lies and
cover-ups of some of the men—including ExxonMobil’s Rex Tillerson
and the Koch brothers—who have been hell-bent on amassing fortunes
by exploiting fossil fuels, even while knowing that this
exploitation would likely destroy civilization.”
—David Ray Griffin, author of Unprecedented: Can Civilization
Survive the CO2 Crisis?
“Horsemen of the Apocalypse is a mind-opening exposé of the roots
and branches of fossil fuel zealots, their campaigns of
misinformation, and the rebellion of their descendants. It shows
how the misuse of wealth and power can undermine democracy,
threaten the health of the planet, and neglect our moral
responsibility to future generations.”
—Sheldon Krimsky, PhD, Lenore Stern Professor of Humanities &
Social Sciences, adjunct professor of public health and community
medicine, Tufts University, and author of Stem Cell Dialogues: A
Philosophical & Scientific Inquiry into Medical Frontiers
”A must read for anyone concerned with climate and energy
issues.”
—Leonardo DiCaprio, Academy Award winning actor and environmental
activist
"Despite the intensity of the opening chapters, Russell's book is
surprisingly inspiring. He covers the shifting mind-set of the up
and coming generation—our future leaders. [...] As the world moves
closer and closer to climate disaster, it's more important than
ever for the public to be informed about the individuals trying to
monkeywrench environmental policy and the money behind their
campaigns."
