"Roosters of the Apocalypse" describes predictions of looming catastrophe from global warming as an apocalyptic prophecy with a scientific gloss, making it palatable to the modern mind. The book's title comes from Richard Landes's study of millennial movements: Landes calls those who crow an exciting new message demanding urgent action "roosters." In this case, the action is to sacrifice fossil fuels, the lifeblood of our economy. Dire consequences do indeed loom as a result of "climate change" but they are economic and the book describes them: billions wasted on uneconomic "green energy," millions forced into "fuel poverty" by green levies, jobs lost as industries are destroyed or forced abroad. The damage has been greatest in Europe, but under President Obama, a committed climate rooster, the U.S. headed down the same path. Individual states, California foremost among them, have enacted onerous laws and rules enforcing green energy quotas that will survive any policy changes in a new administration. Distinguished climatologist Richard Lindzen (professor of atmospheric science at MIT) has written the foreword: he notes that the book, appropriately in his view, places the current concern over climate in the realm of social anthropology rather than science.
