Convenient Mistruths: A Novel of Intrigue, Danger, and Global Warming by [Strong, Geoff]Convenient Mistruths

A Novel of Intrigue, Danger, and Global Warming

Geoff Strong

The setting for this novel is some years in the future. A Canadian climate scientist, Dr Eric Nicholson and his colleagues worldwide, are frustrated by long inaction on the climate crisis by governments. Atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions have been accelerating, despite the 2016 COP-21agreement in Paris,and very serious weather impacts are being felt all over the globe.

The story begins when Eric’s Russian colleague, Ivan Mazurenko, discovers a chilling new source of methane emissions in the Barents Sea, where extensive oil and gas drilling are taking place. This significant addition to greenhouse gas emissions threatens to plunge the world into an accelerated global warming event, possibly even a deadly runaway greenhouse. Eric’s wife, Carol, and their adult children, Julia and John, become involved through their careers in weather forecasting, environmental law, and environmental engineering respectively. Rogue climate denialists, secretly funded by a huge petroleum conglomerate, are determined to stop climate scientists from releasing vital information on the global threat, and use all means towards this.

There follows a trail of international corruption, mystery,murder, and kidnapping, ultimately involving government and industry in several countries. After several ‘storms of the century’ that result in significant loss of life and damages on massive scales, governments finally start to take serious action to reverse the effects of global warming.  . . .But will it be too late?

Read this novel to discover the risks some people take to tell the truth, and the lengths some people will go to for the sake of profit. While being entertained, you may learn valuable information about anthropogenic global warming.
