- Summary:
- The author takes readers on an eight-year personal journey through the world's climate negotiations, providing an insider's perspective on the negotiations and many of the key players. He deftly describes the machinations of "the carbon club" or "the foot soldiers for the fossil-fuel industries". Working behind the scenes, these lobbyists have been successful in stalling and diluting every agreement reached to date.
