International bodies to combat global warming: disintegration of vital global issue / Bhuyan, Dasarathi   Journal Article
Bhuyan, Dasarathi Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract Global warming, as a suspected aspect of ongoing climate change, is now a matter of paramount concern but governments have found it very difficult so far to agree on the ways and means to limit it and even on the diagnosis of the situation because of the fears that measures to reduce "greenhouse" gas emissions will have negative effects on the economy. Major developing nations reject mandatory limits on their emissions which they regard as attempts by the richer states to hobble their progress. Dasarathi Bhuyan argues that the very philosophy of limitless economic growth is deeply flawed as it does not take into account the finite amount of natural resources and the relative fragility of our planetary ecosystem, which most religions warn us about.

Introduction / Rich, Paul B   Journal Article
Rich, Paul B Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This special issue contains five papers dealing with various aspects of climate change and its relationship to patterns of insurgency and terrorism. This is the first special issue in this journal on a topic that increasingly dominates the media and wider political discussion, though SWI has published some papers previously in this area, most notably one by Marina Malamud in 2018 that usefully categorised climate-change conflicts into four types: 1) those linked to the environment into resource-based conflict; 2) a warfare ecology paradigm referring to non-premeditated change to the environment as a result of military conflict; 3) warfare in which the environment was the target and 4) an insurgency-conflict intersection in which climate change increased the likelihood and frequency of war and conflict.Footnote1 These four categories have helped inform the approach taken in this introduction, especially the last relating to the probable impact of global climate change on insurgencies.
