This book is an original, accessible, and thought-provoking
introduction to the severe and broad-ranging challenges that
climate change presents and how societies can respond. It
synthesizes and deploys cutting-edge scholarship on the range of
social, economic, political, and philosophical issues surrounding
climate change. The treatment is introductory, but the book is
written "with attitude", for nobody has yet charted in coherent,
integrative, and effective fashion a way to move societies beyond
their current paralysis as they face the challenges of climate
change. The coverage begins with an examination of science, public
opinion, and policy making, with special attention to organized
climate change denial. The book then moves to economic analysis and
its limits; different kinds of policies; climate justice;
governance at all levels from the local to the global; and the
challenge of an emerging "Anthropocene" in which the mostly
unintended consequences of human action drive the earth system into
a more chaotic and unstable era. The conclusion considers the
prospects for fundamental transition in ideas, movements,
economics, and governance.
