Debating Matters - Nature's Revenge?: Hurricanes, Floods and Climate Change (Paperback)

Politicians and the media rarely miss the opportunity that hurricanes or extensive flooding provide to warn us of the potential dangers of global warming. This is nature's "wake-up-call" we are told and we must adjust our lifestyles. This text brings together scientific experts and social commentators to debate whether we really are seeing "nature's revenge".;In this text, contrasting approaches to this topical and contentious question are presented by various specialists on the subject.;The Institute of Idea's mission is to expand the boundaries of public debate through organizing conferences, discussions and salons, and publishing written conversations and exchanges in a hope to play a part in shaking up a culture that seems to shy away more and more from confrontation and the clash of ideas. This series aims to present thought-provoking arguments.
