Horsemen of the Apocalypse: The Men Who Are Destroying Life on Earth—And What It Means for Our Children

Two New York Timesâ€“bestselling authors team up to name names in â€œa must read for anyone concerned with climate and energy issuesâ€ (Leonardo DiCaprio).
Â
The science is overwhelming; the facts are in. The planet is heating up at an alarming rate and the results are everywhere to be seen. Yet, as time runs out, climate progress is blocked by the men who are profiting from the burning of the planet: energy moguls like the Koch brothers and former Exxon Mobil CEO and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, along with powerful politicians like Senator Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Jim Inhofe, who receive massive contributions from the oil and coal industries. Most of these men are too intelligent to truly believe that climate change is not a growing crisis. And yet they have put their profits and careers ahead of the health and welfare of the worldâ€™s populationâ€”and even their own children and grandchildren. How do they explain themselves to their offspring, to the next generations that must deal with the environmental havoc that these men have wreaked? Horsemen of the Apocalypse takes a personal look at this global crisis, literally bringing it home.
Â
â€œThis may be the most important book yet on the climate crisisÂ .Â .Â . and by the way, itâ€™s fun to read. Dick Russellâ€™s keen research and sharp writing unpacks the complex sordid tale of fossil fuel corporations and their henchmen, from the Koch brothers to Exxon to Peabody coal, who have systematically held us back from solving climate change, using denial, deception, and ruthless power.â€ â€”Kert Davies, director, Climate Investigations Center
