"How Environmentalists are ruining the planet, destroying the economy and stealing your jobs."
The subtitle of Killing the Earth to Save It makes no secret of the book's political polarity. James Delingpole wants his readers to be outraged by the environmental left - and stokes that outrage with his repeated, impassioned insistence that so-called "eco-fascists" want nothing less than complete control over every aspect of our daily lives.
Killing the Earth to Save It is a collection of Delingpole's thoughts and theories around this core idea, including an account of his breaking the Climategate scandal and criticisms of the work and motives of many prominent climate scientists, environmentalists and "green" organisations. To believe Delingpole, the collective environmental movement is a thriving commercial industry in direct competition with Big Oil, an industry for which scientific papers are merely marketing material and whose continued existence depends on maintaining the lie of anthropogenic global warming. Whatever your personal view on these issues, there is certainly a lot to respond to in this book.
Visit Boffins next Tuesday, 17th April, and put a question of your own to James Delingpole! Also in attendance will be Ian Plimer, author of How to Get Expelled From School and the best-selling Heaven+Earth.
