ABSTRACT

This chapter begins by setting out some historical background concerning shifts in the context in which climate change was discussed, and linking this to cultural bias. Natural science has held the ring in governmental hierarchies, in the sense that state education and religion are kept separate and state education is reserved for the teaching of evolution as described by natural science rather than creationism or intelligent design. Roger Pielke Jr identifies some instances where there is evidence that advocates for urgent action on climate change have exaggerated some aspects of impacts of climate change. A 'no-regrets' policy in respect of climate change could be characterised as one involving promotion of solutions that would be advantageously adopted for reasons other than mitigation of climate change. Pielke is a signatory with the 'Eco-Modernist' Manifesto, which itself has been favourably quoted by critics of the green movement, arguably coming from an individualistic frame.
