The book, which Jim Hoggan wrote with Richard Littlemore, is a bold critique of the unsavory PR campaign that has perverted the public conversation about climate change. For two decades, when the world should have been tackling the greatest environmental threat ever to face humankind, we have been paralyzed by doubt and indecision. That’s no accident.

As Jim and Richard show in page after carefully documented page, we’ve been stalling because some seedy and self-interested people have worked extremely hard to convince us the problem may not be real. Climate Cover-up rips the lid off that disinformation campaign. It exposes early strategy documents in which oil and coal companies, at times working with the tobacco industry, describe how they plan to undermine the integrity of science.

Leveraging four years of work on Jim’s DeSmogBlog, Climate Cover-up names names, analyzes tactics and illuminates strategies. It shows how easily reporters and politicians have been bamboozled and how badly the public has been deceived.

It’s time to end the Climate Cover-up.

Yours in hope for a safe and sustainable future,

The Hoggan Team
