Description

This study examines the scientific evidence relating to abrupt or dangerous climate change and explores the social, political, legal and philosophical significance of this evidence. The authors locate the climate crisis within the context of a wider crisis of civilization, consisting of a series of converging threats to human survival. There will need to be major changes to human living and thinking, including an abandonment of the idea that unending economic growth and a philosophy of consumer hedonism are compatible with the idea of an ecologically sustainable society.
