Climate Change Apocalypse

A fictional short story about how a major oil company must adapt to the so-called existential threat of climate change. The young environmental engineer protagonist seeks to verify the scientific justification driving this threat and discovers instead only a trail of bad science, misinformation, vested interests and politics. Most importantly, he finds from his analysis that the basic thesis of manmade C02 emissions being responsible for temperature rise and global warming is false. He presents the empirical data that supports this conclusion. Further, he outlines how this deception poses a serious threat to our very prosperity and way of life as we know it. Given this environment, he then is challenged with developing the corporate strategy that will be needed for his company going forward.
