Author | Joshi, P C |
Summary / Abstract (Note) | Climate change discourse entails a very complex set of factors, policies, negotiations and diplomacy, at the same time it exemplifies a very peculiar practice of science as well. Multiple voices which are quite commonly known as the climate change negotiations have turned it into a very critical debate. The discourse is critical not because there is climate change, which after all is an eternal phenomenon responsible right from Jurassic upheavals to the pre-Holocene glaciations. It is because, this time around, there is clear cut and quite visible anthropogenic contribution to acceleration of adverse effects of climate change resulting in the warming of the earth having far reaching consequences. |
