‘One of the great unsung talents of journalism’ – Boris Johnson Britain in the near future. A campaign to cut carbon emissions to zero is beginning to bite. Power cuts have become a regular feature of life and standards of living have fallen sharply for all but a small elite of climate influencers, who are excused the strict rules on personal carbon budgeting which apply to everyone else. When a storm and tidal surge unexpectedly strikes London, retired meteorologist Bryan Geavis is the first to notice, and later refuses to accept the official explanation that climate change has caused the disaster or made the weather more unpredictable. Awkward and stubborn, yet with a rigorous scientific mind, he finds himself sucked into a battle against public and political hysteria. The Denial is a fast-paced, fascinating story that, while entertaining in its own right, explores ideas of democracy, freedom of speech and the pre-eminence of rational thought. It is a ‘must read’ for anyone interested in political and social satire, democracy, modern media and green issues. Praise for books by Ross 'A must-read for anyone who enjoys witty and thought-provoking writing, you would be mad to miss this book' – Boris Johnson 'When Ross Clark was writing this excellent novel about climate change, he couldn’t have known that by the time we read it the world would be paralyzed by a pandemic. Now that’s happened, it adds a whole new layer to The Denial’s themes of hysteria, self-righteousness and dodgy statistics.' - Mark Mason, The Spectator 'Intelligent and thought-provoking' - Sally Cousins, Sunday Telegraph 'Invigorating, clever and often very funny.... A good satire should be both bitter and funny, and this book is both' - Anthony Daniels, The Spectator Ross Clark is an award-winning journalist and author. He is a regular columnist for The Spectator and The Daily Telegraph, and before that wrote the Thunderer column for The Times. He is a winner of the Spectator’s Young Writers Award and of the Bastiat Prize. His books include The Road To Southend one man’s battle against the surveillance state, The War Against Cash, and the novel The Great Before.
