This book gives a new perspective on just whom activists must target to slow global warming β€” that is, those who are warming the globe deliberately and hugely, instead of just semi-accidentally and to a small degree, like the rest of us.

Bitter Heat delineates how and where profits are being taken by large corporate interests in oil, crime, and real estate through a deliberate acceleration of global warming by commercial actions of these groups. The book provides evidence that the effective concert of Big Oil, Organised Crime, and Big Real Estate is legally liable for planet harm. The law states that one is liable for harm if one either intended the harm or intentionally acted while knowing it would cause harm.

Beyond this, the book is educational in providing a revised history of important events concerning Western corporate exploitation of foreign natural resources, particularly in the regions of central Africa and Mesoamerica. These events have been crucial to the acceleration of global warming.
