Praise for Climate in Crisis (previously published under the title
Horsemen of the Apocalypse) "A must read for anyone concerned with
climate and energy issues."
--Leonardo DiCaprio "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 expos� 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
