Climate change presents perhaps the most profound challenge ever confronted by human society.

Key topics covered include the history of the issues, social and political reception of climate science, the denial of that science by individuals and organized interests, the nature of the social disruptions caused byclimate change, the economics of those disruptions and possible responses to them, questions of human security and so.
