Keep Calm and Talk about Climate Change
Current Affairs, Non-Fiction
Don’t panic – there are flashes of inspiration to be found
Can a nation overwhelmed by the task of building an airport really save the world from the climate crisis? And can global warming really be brought under control by leaving the freezer door open? In his own humorous style, Vince Ebert questions our ambition to save the planet. Climate research is an objective science. Climate policy, on the other hand, is up for negotiation. We may be doing the wrong things for the right reasons. It’s clear that our planet is warming – what’s questionable are the actions we take. Could adapting to climate change be more effective than trying to prevent it? What do we do if the 1.5-degree target can’t be met? Do we need to rethink nuclear energy? Ebert makes a long overdue plea for a debate with eyes wide open.
