Right now, the rate of global warming may be 100 times faster than it has ever been. Very soon, the Earth will become hotter than at any time in human history. As the continents warm and the ice at the poles melt, oceans will rise, droughts will devastate crops, and entire species of plants and animals will become extinct. It now seems evident that this extremely rapid warming is being caused by us, the humans, rather than by geological or astronomical processes that were going on before we arrived.
Will Washington, London, and Tokyo be threatened by rising seas? Will the Great Plain and Ukraine revert to shifting desert sands? What changes in our economics, politics, and lifestyles will be brought about by the coming climate crisis? Here, for the first time in one place is the information we need to prepare ourselves and our children for this very different future.
Crimes Against Nature is an impassioned account of how Bush and big business are plundering the environment and raking in the profits. Robert F Kennedy Jr, one of the world's most prominent environmental lawyers charges the White House with the crime of pursuing private profit and personal power at the expense of clean air, clean water and wildlife habitats.
He shows how, in a government that boasts more CEOs than any in history, industry lobbyists wield an unprecedented power and politicians have rolled back environmental laws, suppressed damaging reports from their own departments and covered its own agenda with smart PR.
Written in the belief that there is another way, Crimes Against Nature powerfully makes the case for democracy against the corrosive effects of corporate corruption.

In 1950, only thirty percent of the world's population lived in cities. By 2007, the planet's population has now doubled and today, as many people live in cities as populated the entire planet in 1950. Eighty percent of the planet's greenhouse gases are created by these energy-intensive urban centers. Thus, the key to creating climate change solutions resides with cities.
Author and city councillor Clive Doucet provides a razor-sharp insider's perspective, stating his central theme: 'It's not about planning. It's about politics.' Climate change is proceeding so quickly not for lack of knowledge, but because politicians who deviate from the car-based sprawl model cannot get elected.
