Stranger than Fiction
In How to Avoid a Climate Disaster, Bill Gates shows why a net-zero world is necessary, and how it might be achieved through fostering demand for and the supply of innovation. He argues that technology, policy and markets must be shaped at the same time, and in the same direction. His technocratic approach ignores (explicitly) climate politics and (implicitly) the second-order consequences (including social disruption and violence) of political a…

Geoengineering
The US National Academy of Sciences confirms that geoengineering – through carbon-dioxide removal or solar-radiation management – covers a multitude of sins, with a few potential virtues
The Pope's Divisions
Laudato Si', Pope Francis's June 2015 encyclical letter on the environment, is likely to have a major impact on public discourse, and perhaps on policy
Showing the Flag
Real and Present Danger
The latest US assessments drive home the fact that dangerous climate change is not just a future risk. It is already here
Climate, Scarcity and Conflict
The security threat from global warming is inextricably linked to development. Resource scarcity and environmental change increase the risk of conflict, and institutional capacity is key to minimising this effect
Who Owns the North Pole
The dispute involves national pride and domestic politics more than money, resources or security. This means it is less fraught that it could be, but also less tractable
Climate Change
The propagation of myths and misconceptions continues to poison the debate over how to mitigate or adapt to a warming world. Notes For a discussion of the rise of climate change as a public-policy issue, see Jeffrey Mazo, Climate Conflict, Adelphi 409 (Abingdon: Routledge for the IISS, 2010), pp. 9–10. ‘This Week’, ABC, 8 July 2012, video extract available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MzeLPFGPuqI.

The Know-Nothings
An American who spends any time in Europe, if not elsewhere in the world, will sooner or later encounter the prejudice, often expressed anecdotally, that his compatriots are ignorant of the world

Climate Conflict
Climate change has been a key factor in the rise and fall of societies and states from prehistory to the recent fighting in the Sudanese state of Darfur. It drives instability, conflict and collapse, but also expansion and reorganisation. The ways cultures have met the climate challenge provide lessons for how the modern world can handle the new security threats posed by unprecedented global warming. Combining historical precedents with current t…
