Mike Hulme: Why We Disagree About Climate Change: Understanding Controversy, Inaction and Opportunity

Why We Disagree About Climate Change: Understanding Controversy, Inaction and Opportunity


Description

Climate change is not 'a problem' waiting for 'a solution'. It is an environmental, cultural and political phenomenon which is re-shaping the way we think about ourselves, our societies and humanity's place on Earth. Drawing upon twenty-five years of professional work as an international climate change scientist and public commentator, Mike Hulme provides a unique insider's account of the emergence of this phenomenon and the diverse ways in which it is understood. He uses different standpoints from science, economics, faith, psychology, communication, sociology, politics and development to explain why we disagree about climate change. In this way he shows that climate change, far from being simply an 'issue' or a 'threat', can act as a catalyst to revise our perception of our place in the world. Why We Disagree About Climate Change is an important contribution to the ongoing debate over climate change and its likely impact on our lives.

Edward de Bono's renowned educational program for developing children's thinking skills has been adopted in countries and schools around the world. "Teach Your Child How to Think" makes that program directly available for the first time to anyone who wants to give their children a better Why We Disagree About Climate Change: Understanding Controversy, Inaction and Opportunity free epub chance in life. With examples, exercises, games, and drawing, de Bono demonstrates the difference between intelligence and thinking and provides a step-by-step method for helping children develop a clear and constructive thinking pattern (how to make decisions, take initiatives, and become more creative) that an increasingly complicated life demands. Even one or two thinking habits or tools taken from this book can strongly affect a child's whole life. Fans of Ace Atkins, Nevada Barr and Robert B. Parker will love this outstanding first novel, in which"New York Times"bestselling author Craig Johnson introduces Sheriff Walt Longmire of Wyoming s Absaroka County. Johnson draws on his deep attachment to the American West to produce a literary mystery of stunning authenticity, and full of memorable characters. After twenty-five years as sheriff of Absaroka County, Walt Longmire s hopes of finishing out his tenure in peace are dashed when Cody Pritchard is found dead near the Northern Cheyenne Reservation. Two years earlier, Cody has been one of four high school boys given suspended sentences for raping a local Cheyenne girl. Somebody, it would seem, is seeking vengeance, and Longmire might be the only thing standing between the three remaining boys and a Sharps .45-70 rifle.
