George W. Bush's refusal to sign the Kyoto treaty was openly based on protecting corporate profit, not protecting the public good. With scientists claiming that pollution must be cut by 15 percent while current gas emissions are still rising drastically, something must be done. 'Dead Heat' explains the environmental problem, the ethical and political constraints on implementing solutions, and argues that global environmental justice and economic realism must be factored together in order to advance a climate protocol that puts public good before big business.
