Climate change is acknowledged to be the major problem currently
facing the human race, and the need to reduce our carbon footprint
becomes ever more urgent as the scientific predictions of the
effects of climate change become increasingly dire. Whether we are
fully aware of the social and political consequences of striving
for a significant reduction is more questionable. The Carbon
Footprint Wars identifies the many dangers inherent in the
projected solutions - such as retreating from the spread of
globalization, the current socio-economic paradigm for world trade.
The war of words that is being waged over the appropriate way to
deal with our collective carbon footprint has critical implications
for us all. Stuart Sim examines the issues in detail, raising
questions about the assumptions being made on both sides of the
climate change divide. He argues that we must urgently address the
problem of how to engineer the best possible trade-off between
economic survival and ecological disaster - and he puts forward
some radical suggestions about how we should set about doing so.
