"... Carter's book is a much needed antidote to their foolish and dangerous scheme. As he puts it, the climate change scare is the "greatest self-organised scientific and political conspiracy that the world has ever seen, made worse by the fact that many of the people taken in by it had only the best of intentions, but lacked the science education to see through the scam." Carter concludes by pointing at the true costs of the conspiracy - to the 1, 500,000,000 underprivileged people of the world, without clean water, adequate sanitation, basic education and basic health. "For lifting the poor out of their poverty, and helping them to generate wealth for themselves, is the only sure way to protect Earth's future environment"."
