From acclaimed writer and physicist Mark Bowen, this work reveals the true story of the Bush administration’s censorship of Dr. James Hansen, the world’s leading climatologist. Hansen, a NASA scientist, has dedicated over three decades to studying climate change, famously alerting the world to the dangers of global warming during his 1988 Senate testimony. In January 2006, it was revealed that the Bush administration sought to suppress Hansen's findings, obscuring his message and the extensive scientific evidence he presented, which clearly demonstrates the reality and peril of global warming. Bowen provides an exclusive look into Hansen’s long struggle to expose the truth about climate change. The book underscores alarming statistics, such as 2005 being the warmest year on record and the trend of increasing temperatures over the past decades. It emphasizes that despite the challenges, there is still an opportunity to avert environmental disaster while bolstering the economy and national security. In the tradition of investigative narratives, this account unveils the administration's manipulation of scientific discourse and highlights the significance of Hansen’s contributions to our understanding of climate change.
