"While on a routine investigation, journalist Stephenie Hendricks stumbled upon a surprising partnership of anti-environmental forces consisting of the pro-industry movement known as "Wise Use" and Christian fundamentalists known as "dominion theologists," people who believe that the exhaustion of the environment will prompt the Second Coming of Jesus Christ." "Was it dominion theology that led George W. Bush to renege on his promise to sign the Kyoto Accord on global warming? Divine destruction asks this question and many more, providing some startling, and terrifying, answers."--BOOK JACKET.
