1 小时 23 分钟Welcome to the LSE Events podcast by the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Get ready to hear from some of the most influential international figures in the social sciences.
Thank you very much everybody
for coming for tonight's event which is sponsored partly by the Hayek programme at the LSE.
We are delighted to see you all here and we're also delighted to have Professor Mike Hume who is a well-known geographer who has been writing on climate-related issues for many years.
He has worked primarily at the University of East Anglia,
King's College London and now Cambridge where he's a professor of human geography.
Mike is one of the most influential writers on the social understandings of climate change.
His work has contributed largely to IPCC reports but he has also various additional works on climate which are worthy of great attention.
He has a great book,
a great website full of papers and information and one interesting thing on that is his review of books written in particular years in the past.
And the ambition is to do one year book,
to do a review of a book published in each year for 50 years and Mike is now up to 1998.
And the essence of this is to take books which are writing about an argument about climate change,
not just an edited collection,
in order to get the sort of zeitgist of the time,
to get the sort of flavour of how people were talking about climate at certain times in the past.
Now Mike's new book, Climate Change Isn't Everything, is also available for sale outside after the talk.
And the suggestion is that if you want to buy it, you go outside,
buy it, come back in here and Mike will write in it for you if you wish.
