What this episode covers

Guest : Prof. Mike Hulme, University of East Anglia December 5 2010 As COP 16 gets underway in Cancun, the tone and substance of the debate around climate change science and policy is a world away from where it was just one year ago. Expectations have ebbed, uncertanties abound, and new ways forward are up in the air.This Sunday, we speak with Prof. Mike Hulme, a long time observer and insider in the world of climate science and policy. Prof. Hulme was a senior researcher at the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit from 1988 to 2000, and founded the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research in 2000, serving as director until 2007. His acclaimed 2009 book ‘Why We Disagree About Climate Change’ brings forth one of the most nuanced analyses yet on why action against global warming has been so elusive. The unique insights he shares with Think Globally Radio should not be missed by any seeking to understanding the socio-scientific complexities of climate change.
