The Messenger - Issue #26: Forest Fires and Climate Change
In preparation for our Wicked Code course, we are looking at data sets that help us understand how climate change is going to impact India. This week's messenger looks at forest fire data from a study by CEEW.
Afterword
This week we have a two part extended review of "Climate Leviathan," which is a book about how new political systems might emerge in order to address climate change.
Climate Leviathan: A Political Theory of Our Planetary Future - Joel Wainwright, Geoff Mann - Google Books — books.google.com
Climate Leviathan provides a radical way of thinking about the intensifying challenges to the global order. Drawing on a wide range of political thought, Joel Wainwright and Geoff Mann argue that rapid climate change will transform the world’s political economy and the fundamental political arrangements most people take for granted. The result will be a capitalist planetary sovereignty, a terrifying eventuality that makes the construction of viable, radical alternatives truly imperative.
