Dicing with the climate: how many more throws? -- A chronology of some major climate science/policy milestones 330 $aRelevant to both Australian and overseas audiences, here is the untold story of how Australia buried its knowledge on climate change science and response options during the 1990's - going from clarity to confusion and doubt after arguably leading the world in citizen understanding and a political will to act in the late 1980's. 'What happened and why' is a fascinating exploration drawing on the public record of how a society revised its good understanding on a critical issue affecting every citizen. It happened through political and media communication, regardless of international scientific assessments that have remained consistent in ascribing causes and risks since 1990. How could this happen? The author examines the major influences, with lessons for the present, on how the story was reframed. Key have been values and beliefs, including economic beliefs, that trumped the science, the ability of changing political leaders and the mass media to set the story for the public, as well as the role of scientists' own communication over time and the use and misuse of uncertainty. 606 $aGlobal warming$zAustralia 606 $aClimatic changes$zAustralia 615 0$aGlobal warming 615 0$aClimatic changes 676 $a363.738740994 700 $aTaylor$b Maria$0803289 712 02$aAustralian National University, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910132269003321 996 $aGlobal warming and climate change$92158303 997 $aUNINA
