About this listen

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 Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson. Powerful politicians like Senators 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 world's population - 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.

Whole basis of arguments is the children and some descendants of wealthy people are the source of all knowledge wisdom and truth. I suspect they are all just bullied by woke ideology to agree with the climate change proponent for fear of being ostracised and stir down. His argument against those who made their wealth from fossil fuels can also be levied at the renewables industry. Money talk on all sides. Whether you believe in climate change or not, Who or what is to blame, exclusively going wind and solar is not the answer. For world food and energy security, we need a mix of supply systems. In most situations, wind and solar are ineffective, costly, intermittent, and destructive of natural habitats eg remnant koala habitats. We do not have enough land to host the number of turbines and panels nor the rare earth minerals, sand, gravel, concrete etc needed in production transport and installation to replace the efficiency of coal, gas and nuclear. Valuable food and fibre productive land needs to be protected from this industrial scale transformation.
I’m also surprised Kennedy put his name to this. It is a poorly written and researched opinion, heresay masquerading as scientific fact without any supporting real evidence. Sorry I wasted a credit on it.

Non scientific, emotional diatribe. Just a regurgitation of previously unsubstantiated waffle.

A vitriolic diatribe of far left progressive nonsense. And here I was thinking I was going to get a carefully researched, and insightful expose!

Rubbish

I really tried to give this a chance but it was an hour and a half of wasted time before I gave up. Somehow trump is responsible for everything from the melting of the ice caps 10,000 years ago to the current dependence of the west on oil.

Apparently the only reason we still use oil is because trump stopped us moving to electric to keep five oil-Barron friends of his rich…as if the cost of fuel and a national interest to not be dependent on Russian energy haven’t saved the US billions since that decision.

Also the author acts as if electric batteries aren’t facilitated by an overloaded power grid, still powered by excessive burning of fossil fuels. And as if there aren’t serious damages and grievous humans rights violations in the mining of cobalt and lithium needed for the manufacture & running of electric batteries.

Basically the kind of argument you’d expect from a first year Socialism student who thinks their actionless criticism due to their “original way of thinking” will solve all the problems of the world.

Awful nonsense, unsure as to why Kennedy allowed his name be put to it.

This book has absolutely nothing to do with the apocalypse or the 4 horsemen.
It is a propaganda book for climate change with no real data truth or proof of climate change.
It just try’s to undermine the other side in an attempt to prove that they “the author and his narrative” are on the right side of the debate.
Another book written by the global elites pushing climate change for the one purpose of a “NEW WORLD ORDER” tied in with the “WEF” and the “WHO”

Rubbish book with absolutely nothing to do with the apocalypse.

completely discounts nuclear power. Thinks solar power is free..... Forgets the mining required to make panels batteries and wind turbines. Tired of these false narratives. Even thought Gore was a good guy. This diatribe will not survive hindsight.
