This book examines the deep connection Australians have with their
climate to understand contemporary views on human-induced climate
change. It is the first study of the Australian relationship with
La Nina and it explains how fundamental this relationship is to the
climate change debate both locally and globally. While unease with
the Australian environment was a hallmark of early settler
relations with a new continent, this book argues that the climate
itself quickly became a source of hope and linked to progress. Once
observed, weather patterns coalesced into recognizable cycles of
wet and dry years and Australians adopted a belief in the certainty
of good seasons. It was this optimistic response to climate linked
to La Nina that laid the groundwork for this relationship with the
Australian environment. This book will appeal to scholars and
students of the environmental humanities, history and science as
well as anyone concerned about climate change.
