Set in an unspecified 'near-future' in which a radical environmentalist movement, joined with a coalition of religious groups, has gained control of the US government and imposed draconian luddite laws which, in attempts to curb global warming, have ironically brought about the greatest environmental catastrophe in recorded history - an ice age which may eventually escalate into a Snowball Earth.Science Fiction?

recommended reading
I pulled my copy of Fallen Angels (Niven, Pournelle and Flynn, 1991, ISBN 0-7434-3582-6) out of the bookcase this weekend during my hunt for something to read. The timing of me re-finding this book was quite amusing as it coincided with the start of the Copenhagen summit.

I would also recommend Pournelle's blog. www.jerrypournelle.com
Very prescient.
I remember reading a Nuclear Winter trash novel some thirty years ago, set in Europe which was freezing over and all the rich people sought sanctuary in Nigeria !
