Marian Wilkinson is a multi-award-winning journalist with a career that has spanned radio, television and print. The result is a book that is both essential and disturbing reading. One of Australia's most respected investigative journalists, Marian Wilkinson has tracked the rise and rise of Australia's carbon club in brilliant detail, with extraordinary access to key players on all sides. But at what cost to us and the next generation? The sustained success of the carbon club over two decades explains why Australian governments failed to deal with the challenge of climate change. The more the climate science was questioned, the more politicians lost the imperative to act. They shared a fear that dealing with climate change would undermine the nation's wealth, jobs and competitive advantage - and the power of the carbon club.Ĭentral to their strategy was an international campaign to undermine climate science and the urgency of the climate crisis.

The Carbon Club reveals the truth behind Australia's two decades of climate inaction. As the climate crisis threatens more extreme bushfire seasons, droughts and floods, many Australians are demanding their leaders answer the question: 'Why didn't you do something?'
