Climate Of Fear

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

In Climate of Fear: Why We Shouldn't Worry About Global Warming, Moore argues that in this case, as in so many others, conventional wisdom is wrong. If global warming were to occur, it would not be the disaster that many doomsayers have predicted. Instead, most people would actually benefit from the slightly higher temperatures it would produce.

Reflecting On Our Changing Climate From Fear To Facts

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

This book contains reflections about climate change - an intrinsic reality of our planet’s history over the past 4.6 billion years – including both natural and anthropogenic variations. More recently, the phrase “climate change” has become a euphemism for “carbon dioxide emissions”. While focusing on CO2 emissions is crucial for understanding climate change, solely using this term in scientific discussions may lead to overlooking other complex factors contributing, among other things, to extreme weather events, potentially affecting the quality of evidence analysis. The shift towards using “climate change” interchangeably with “carbon dioxide emissions” within scientific circles, while highlighting a key driver, necessitates ensuring comprehensive discussions that encompass the diverse evidence related to all climate sub-systems. Therefore, using the phrase like a changing climate opens a bigger umbrella that facilitates covering multiple and complex climate manifestations. The book will be useful to students, researchers and policy makers working and studying in the vast and often contentious landscape of climate change debates.

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2015 in the subject Earth Science / Geography - Geopolitics, grade: PhD, Panjab University (Panjab University), language: English, abstract: The discourse of ‘climate migrations’ will reinforce the old borders (physical and mental) and create new ‘climate borders’ between India and Bangladesh. In International Relations State system is expected uphold five basic social values security, freedom, order, justice and welfare but climate change would be challenging all these social values. This work revolves around interrelated key concepts of critical geopolitics, imaginative geographies and borders in order to map out geopolitics of fear, deployed through the imaginative geographies of climate induced migrations, and analyze its implications for India and Bangladesh. This work stated that a critical social science intervention in the nascent discourse of ‘climate change migration’ is needed, in order to uncover and analyze the political uses and abuses of climate fear, and growing securitization and militarization of climate change policy and responses. Far from being the problem of National Security and the state and non state actors needs to desecuretise the issue of climate induced migration and shift their attention towards the most neglected aspects of climate affair i.e. the issue climate ethics and equity. This work further explore the prospects of counter imaginative geographies of hope and the role they could possibly play in approaching the issue of climate change induced migration from the angle of human security and human rights of the socially disadvantaged, dispossessed and disadvantage in the Global South.
