An idealistic twenty-something environmentalist.A retired right-wing finance minister.All their lives, they’ve happily ignoredeach other. Until now.Anna Rose, environmental crusader since the age of fourteen and co-founder of the Australian Youth Climate Coalition, is on a mission. This is the story of her biggest challenge yet: a whirlwind journey around the world with conservative powerbroker and arch climate sceptic Nick Minchin. From a remote Hawaiian volcano to a cosmic ray laboratory in Geneva, Anna rolls out the biggest names in science to try and change Nick’s mind.It’s a journey to tell the story of what’s happening to our climate—not just to one man, but to a nation divided on the biggest issue of our times. Nick and Anna challenge each other’s views, provoking each other to confront closely held assumptions and question our responsibilities as citizens living in uncertain times.

"Our national debate is the richer for a sceptic at large. Roger puts establishments on their mettle, challenges other politicians to think about the preconceptions they share with governments, and offers challenging views to the public." - The Rt Hon John Redwood MP. "You do not have to agree with what Roger Helmer has to say on every page of this provocative and well-written book to enjoy and benefit from his well-informed and merciless questioning of much of the conventional wisdom of this complacently conformist and politically correct age. On so-called climate change, in particular, he scores a number of palpable bulls-eyes." - Lord Lawson
