Tim Flannery's award winning, accessible work 'The Weather Makers: the history and future impact of climate change' will form the starting point for our discussion, which shall consider the following questions:
Is our political-economic system capable of addressing climate change?
What new kinds of political and economic decision-making are required?
Where does an issue such as climate change leave the principle upheld by many of the 'sovereignty of the consumer'?
Does 'risk society' really leave us in a new political era?
