'Hot Air is a compelling indictment of the people and organisations that, for whateverreasons, refuse to accept the evidence of human-induced global warming. The scientificcase for this has been clear for more than thirty years. It is disappointing that there is stilla need for this book, but gratifying to find such a clear exposition of the science and thepolitics. The most important book you are likely to see this year.' - John Gribbin 'Hot Air provides a deep insight into the nasty, iniquitous, and nefarious tactics used todeny the reality of climate change. Peter Stott's first-hand account brilliantly documents the 30-year war against climate scientists in the name of fossil fuels, political expedience,and climate denial.' - Prof. Mark Maslin, author of How to Save Our Planet 'Peter Stott has been a key figure both in demonstrating the strength of climate scienceand in fighting the climate deniers, and Hot Air is a thrilling, enthralling and, yes,enraging account of his years at the heart of the most important battle of our time.' -Rowan Hooper, New Scientist, author of How To Spend A Trillion Dollars 'A riveting despatch from the frontline of the fight against climate change. Essentialreading for anyone interested in the greatest threat human society has ever faced.' -Michael McCarthy, former Environment Editor, The Independent, and author of The MothSnowstorm
