Short description

When every prediction of climate change from eminent bodies such as the IPPC, to the myriad of academic foundations studying this anthropogenic phenomena, talk of sea level rises enough to engulf tens of thousands of square miles of coastline world wide and submerge little island states or predict super hurricanes and super storms, droughts and crop failures worldwide, then why are we in denial?

Extended description

What! Global Warming, Climate Change? I, like you, have been there, got the T-shirt, watched video read book etc, etc.

However, unlike like you, who have become thoroughly bored about prophecies of doom and gloom and decided to shut it out. I am interested in the psyche of human nature and our ability to deny the facts, the truth and the inevitable.

We are in denial because we are minded to adhere to government policies, thoughts and the feeling of security that governments provide out of necessity. However these indoctrinations are not in our best interests as a race, family or individuals. They are only in the immediate interests of the nation states.... (Read more) What! Global Warming, Climate Change? I, like you, have been there, got the T-shirt, watched video read book etc, etc.

However, unlike like you, who have become thoroughly bored about prophecies of doom and gloom and decided to shut it out. I am interested in the psyche of human nature and our ability to deny the facts, the truth and the inevitable.

We are in denial because we are minded to adhere to government policies, thoughts and the feeling of security that governments provide out of necessity. However these indoctrinations are not in our best interests as a race, family or individuals. They are only in the immediate interests of the nation states.

In Denial; in the psychological sense, denial is a defence mechanism in which a person, faced with a painful fact, rejects the reality of that fact. They will insist that the fact is not true despite what may be overwhelming and irrefutable evidence.

Climate Change denial; In the hedonistic sense, Climate Change denial is a defence mechanism where people will lie or cleverly construct excuses as to why they should do nothing to sever themselves from their comfort zones, well being and way of life, to the detriment, suffering and survival of their offspring.

This book is not a warning, neither is it a cure. Rather it is to remind you of the sheer stupidity of mankind and our inability to solve the most fundamental dilemma it has faced as we grow and multiply across the planet.

Its aim is to educate you while you pose with your latest gadget to impress. Its intention is to make you to think for yourself for a change instead of having it done for you.

It is not a piece of boring gibberish, founded on deliberations from logical, great scientific minds with postulations, calculations, graphs and numbers to awe you, because in this case, they simply do not exist (great scientific minds on the subject) however, you do!

So what are you really going to do to save your children, your children’s children, or are you, like most, in denial and sailing along on the current of hedonistic gratification?
