Professor Mike Hulme, from King's College, London argues that a cultural analysis of climate and its changes is needed. Free Talk - Open to all.
Professor Mike Hulme further suggests that the story of climate change has become too univocal.
There is an orthodoxy – even a hegemony – which does not do justice to the complexities of what is happening to climates around the world, nor how such changes are understood.
He argues that a cultural analysis of climate and its changes is needed, as much as a scientific one. Such analysis reveals the many different things that climate change means to different people in different places holding different beliefs, concerns and priorities.
Understanding this diversity provides a sounder basis for thinking through the different ways in which policies and other interventions to deal with climatic dangers might be designed and enacted.
