Recherché et écrit par l'un des journalistes d'investigation les plus intrépides d'Australie, Slick révèle comment l'industrie pétrolière américaine a été avertie de ses impacts environnementaux dans les années 1950 et a pourtant continué à construire l'industrie pétrolière australienne, qui à son tour a essayé de forer la Grande Barrière de Corail, a cherché à renforcer les gouvernements et a rejoint un effort mondial pour enterrer la science du changement climatique. et retarder la désactivation de l'action malgré le fait de savoir les dommages qu'elle causerait. Slick raconte également les histoires des survivants des incendies et des inondations, ainsi que des militants engagés dans une lutte à haut risque pour l'avenir de l'Australie et des efforts déployés pour nous sauver de la catastrophe.
Dans ce superbe travail de journalisme approfondi, Royce Kurmelovs fournit un examen sur le terrain de la façon dont l'industrie des combustibles fossiles a capturé l'Australie, et décrit ce qui est en jeu pour la survie de la planète et notre démocratie.
