Coping with Global Change What we can certainly do
There appears to be a consensus now among climate scientists that man has significantly altered his environment by indiscriminate burning of fossil fuels; and this anthropogenic effect on climate has exceeded solar heating of the earth in the past two decades. Advanced models of climate have clearly shown that the unprecedented high temperatures recorded in the late nineties could not be explained...
Anthropocene Security Climate Change and the Southern Polar Region
There is a need to emphatically acknowledge the Antarctic as a ‘global knowledge commons’ and put into place a new profile of Asia in relation to the Antarctic. The challenge is to transform the contentious and contested assertions of territoriality to collectively shared norms of trusteeship so that a reinvigorated, Antarctic Treaty Secretariat remains effective enough to realise the noble object...
