Exploring climate change through science and in society: an anthology of Mike Hulme's essays, interviews and speeches (original) (raw)

2013

Abstract

There are many ways to understand the phenomenon of climate change . Anthropologists may seek it by studying different human accounts of weather and agency, political scientists by studying the power relations revealed through climate negotiations between nation states. Earth system scientists are more likely to quantify and simulate the flows of energy, moisture and carbon dioxide through the planetary system. And historians will gain understanding by studying the historiography of climate change: who has written about it, when, why and how. This book offers another way of understanding climate change: by following the written and spoken words of one person who has dedicated several decades to the professional study of the phenomenon. At its simplest this is why Exploring Climate Change Through Science And In Society has been compiled: a collection of essays, articles, interviews and speeches dealing with climate change which I have published or delivered over the last 25 years. It is offered as an idiosyncratic window into the changing idea of climate change. "
