A Warming Death

A Warming Death A disturbing and unsettling story about a figure who, through cheating and aggression from an early age plots his course through life. In time, he manoeuvres his way by deception from an early career in the law, into an environmental charity. There he expands his underhand ways to dethrone the founder and take the organisation as his own. His subsequent advancement involves disposing of various juniors, which he does without hesitation. With no understanding of the mechanics of Global Warming, he nevertheless uses it as the means of his self-promotion. He habitually has no opinion as to the validity of the concept, but nevertheless accepts the growing absurdity and hysteria of its application as a means of his advancement. When man-made Global Warming becomes increasingly exposed as perhaps the greatest fraud ever visited on mankind, the anti-hero of this book lashes out recklessly at this threat to the foundation of his power and position. This is the story of a man of our time. An environmental champion committed to the fight against Global Warming with a perfect public image but a background of a dark and treacherous rise to power. Someone who routinely uses for his own purposes all whom he encounters, hides it cleverly but is despised by those he has crossed. A man who makes alliances, courts the powerful and marries because it seems the thing to do for his image. He subsequently drives his wife to an early death but manages to ultimately pose as a tragic widower. When he encounters evidence that others may be vastly more cynical and corrupt in their exploitation of the crusade to save the planet, his impotent rage at being outdone results in an increasing retreat from reality. He becomes too extreme in his behaviour for the Establishment to handle so, when he is murdered, they thank their good fortune, and quietly abandon him. Set in London, the West of Scotland and several other global locations, it is a cautionary story of the seemingly invincible who ignore the fact that somebody may be keeping a tally.
