Description

International climate change summits are now widely monitored events, attended by state leaders and crowded with journalists, yet somehow they have never been less productive. In Fools Rule, investigative journalist William Marsden illustrates the failures of political talks on climate change. He unveils settings fuelled solely by economic self-interest, diplomatic errors and every nation's hungry scramble for its share of the remaining atmospheric space. Fools Rule seeks answers to the toughest question: Will anyone be able to change before it's too late

Reviews

"William Marsden is one of the finest investigative journalists to ever come out of Canada."
The Gazette

"A well-researched, highly readable follow-up to...Stupid to the Last Drop."
Winnipeg Free Press

"A thorough journalistic exposure of the denial which currently undermines our political negotiations and an affirmation of the primacy of the science which points to inescapable climate change."
Hot Topic (New Zealand)

"Marsden in full, angry, rhetorical flight is a force to behold." Toronto Star

"As Marsden's book amply demonstrates, a new course on addressing climate change is essential if we're going to save more human lives in the future."
The Georgia Straight
