Description: How do we make the climate change? We now know so much about climate change that even the staunchest sceptics have had to acknowledge that it does change; that the change is in all likelihood largely manmade and that the changes move faster than foreseen. Yet how did the climate change about climate-change? How did those who warned about the dangers of climate change convince public opinion that this needed to be a prime concern? How did political parties respond to the need for setting public priorities diff erently? How did religious leaders come to include the notion in their moral set of values? How did intellectu- als convince academics that their research priorities needed urgent review? How did academics convince the upcoming generation that sustainable development was more than just another fad, particularly since it con- cerned that very same generation’s life chances?
