Smashwords Interview

What's the story behind your latest book Four Hundred ppm?
It sends the same message as 'End Game' and 'In Denial'. They are a trilogy on the subject of Global Warming and human nature.

Analysis of numerous papers on the projections of global warming offer a stark and unremitting assessment of the climate change challenge facing the global community. There

Moreover, the impacts associated with 2◦C have been revised upwards so that 2◦C now more appropriately represents the threshold between dangerous and extremely dangerous climate change. Consequently, with global emissions returning to their earlier levels of growth 2014 represents the tipping point.

Given the view that reductions in emissions are not compatible with economic growth, the CCC are, in effect, are conceding that avoiding dangerous (and even extremely dangerous) climate change is no longer compatible with economic prosperity. But common sense dictated that we knew this all along, as what government would insist on economic suicide?

Our ‘rose-tinted’ (though ultimately ineffective) save the planet, climate summits were good for publicity, but as the inevitable procrastinations set in, have in effect, brought us one step forward and two steps backwards.

So what about of these tidal surges, floods, winds etc, are they just ‘freak’ weather conditions or a precursor of what is to come?

Well, if you wear rose tinted glasses they are the former, and today’s news is tomorrow’s fish and chip wrapper, however, if you are more scientifically minded, you will know, the inevitable is catching up with us fast!
What do you think of climate change skeptics
You can find examples and analogies (and there are thousands out there) on effects, causes and consequences of climate change, but by now even you should realize they are talking to deaf ears. With all the scientific evidence of eminent minds telling you there is global warming and it is dangerous, those whom believe are convinced, those who do not, will never believe until it hits them square in the jaw. Then those deniers, those disbelievers will finally realize the truth and try to buy their way out of the situation. Then will cometh the geo-engineers with their schemes. Ideas what we now see as ludicrous, nutty, far-fetched and outright dangerous will be accepted. It will be akin to taking a panacea from a travelling salesman, hoping out of sheer terror for a cure all.

The current cycle of global warming is changing the rhythms of climate that all living things have come to rely upon. How will we cope with the changes we've already set into motion? While we struggle to figure it all out, the face of the Earth as we know it—coasts, forests, farms, and snowcapped mountains—hangs in the balance.


The fact that people around the world have engaged in so little response to climate change is that they believe that everything is fine. Although we all know the facts most do not think climate change is happening; believe that their governments will take care of things; or that international agreements on emissions reductions will be effective. This perspective could be a variation of; climate change skepticism, blind faith in government or blind faith in our ability to produce a technological cure.

Now you can talk of the psychological reasons for this until the cows come home or save yourself time by equating it all to the same thought process (or denial) of our ultimate demise at the end of our personal life span. In truth it is a sense of knowing and not knowing, of having information but not thinking about it.

Ask yourself; how often do you think of death? Ask yourself; do you live your life as a consequence of this, are you keeping yourself in optimal health, do not drink, smoke, eat too much? Well, do not bother to answer because like you, we all feel guilty but we all still have our ‘bad’ habits and to hell with a few more weeks months years of prolonged life. Now take that a stage further (Attitude to Climate change) and you have the answer!


Why is concern about climate change inversely correlated with the wealth of a nation or a person? They are more informed people, but have less concern or sense of responsibility towards climate change because they realize that real sacrifices have to be made!

The problem is the math in your head because you think 2 degrees is insignificant but the world’s oceans do not and neither does the troposphere.

Neither do those eager beavers in waiting; the millions of tons of methane hydrates patiently biding their time to raise their ugly heads and use 2 degrees as the catalyze for 3 degrees, 4 degrees, 5 degrees and hell on Earth!

In writing this book I have decided to approach Global Warming in reverse, from back to front. I am looking at it from the future. If nothing else it is food for thought, but if my ‘reverse psychology’ approach has an effect on you, then do something about it! If, it proves truthful then our children will despise us!

It had to happen sooner or later; with Man playing God, continuously interfering with nature and the natural order of life. None neither heeded nor cared for the consequences. Too late the Geneticists realised that treating natural selection with contempt or something to experiment with would have unforeseen ramifications. A mistake was made, a terrible, incalculable mistake.

Why are we in denial when predictions of climate change from such eminent bodies as the IPPC to academic foundations studying this anthropogenic phenomenon predict sea level rise enough to engulf tens of thousands of square miles of coastline world-wide, super hurricanes and super storms, droughts and crop failures? Are not Katrina and the ‘Super Storm’ Sandy at least pricking your conscience?

What is our purpose and where is it supposed to lead? Will our logic lead us to that destiny or will our DNA dictate our final destination? A wise soul contemplates, ponders and philosophises on this thought but most leave that divine question and answer to the Almighty! Re-gens don’t! They know their purpose, and their logic is most definitely not in their DNA. They have no DNA!

To me, the original story by Charles Dickens ‘A Christmas Carol’ encapsulates a ghost story, a sci-fi story and a moral. It ‘hits a chord' with me, and if you have a heart, most likely with you too. With very great respect and admiration to Mr Dickens, I had this inner need to 'rewrite' it, update it, as to let ‘modern’ day poor souls digest the moral and spirituality of the prose.

Just how imminent is an attack by a Dirty Bomb? As our society grows in technology, it gets more fragile, more sensitive. A whisper of a fuel crisis would create a panic stricken queue at a gas station. A rumour of a food shortage would lead to panic buying at a food store. What would happen if an RDD went off in the centre of your city, how would you react, would you survive?
