Taking a radical approach to climate change prevention, this bold manifesto claims that Australia?s current focus on over-consumption and greener lifestyles? are ineffective. Rather, this opinionated record argues that society must instead make more dramatic changes and stop over-production. Thought-provoking and dynamic, this exploration is a must-read for people interested in climate change. 606 $aSocial change$zAustralia 606 $aSocial evolution 606 $aUrban policy$zAustralia 607 $aAustralia$xSocial conditions$y21st century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSocial change 615 0$aSocial evolution. 615 0$aUrban policy 676 $a307.160994 700 $aGleeson$b Brendan$f1964-$0870492 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453614203321 996 $aLifeboat cities$91943172 997 $aUNINA
