While nations have signed treaties and implemented policies, most actual climate change assessments, adaptations, and countermeasures take place at the local level. People are responding by adjusting their practices, livelihoods, and cultures, protesting and migrating. This book portrays the diversity of explanations and remedies as expressed at the community level and its emphasis on the crucial importance of ethnographic detail in demonstrating how people in different parts of the world are scaling down the phenomenon of global warming. 606 $aClimatic changes$xEffect of human beings on$vCase studies 606 $aClimatic changes$xSocial aspects$vCase studies 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Environmental Policy$2bisacsh 610 $aEnvironmental Studies (General), Political and Economic Anthropology, Urban Studies. 615 0$aClimatic changes$xEffect of human beings on 615 0$aClimatic changes$xSocial aspects 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Environmental Policy. 676 $a363.738/7452 700 $aHoffman$b Susanna$01219170 701 $aEriksen$b Thomas Hylland$0251804 701 $aMendes$b Paulo$0925123 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910555232403321 996 $aCooling Down$92819272 997 $aUNINA
