The oil industry's hold on economies and politics has dominated the 20th century. The oil industry expects no different in the next. Yet if oil and other fossil fuels continue to be used at the current rate, the world is heading for environmental disater. Since the end of the 1980s, global warming has grown to be widely accepted as the single biggest threat to a viable future. This work is an insiders account of the global warming crisis, beginning with Jeremy Leggetts days as a progressively guilt striken oil consultant in 1988, his turnaround and resignation, and his work as a senior campaigner for greenpeace, doing battle with the mighty "carbon club" - the fossil fuel lobbyists - for cuts in greenhouse emissions. This document reveals the main players and business intrests behind the scenes, and urges the reader to look to the future before its to late.
