Global warming is moving much more quickly than scientists thought it would. Even if the biggest current and prospective emitters – the United States, China and India – were to slam on the brakes today, the earth would continue to heat up for decades.
At best, we may be able to slow things down and deal with the consequences, without social and political breakdown. In this three-part series for Canadian radio, Gwynne Dyer examines several radical short- and medium-term measures now being considered – all of them controversial.

Tigers and Dragons: Sustainable Security in Asia and Australasia
Chris Abbott and Sophie Marsden | Oxford Research Group | November 2008
Issues:Climate change, Global militarisation
Tag:report
Asia is a region in transition, and transition creates uncertainty. The political, economic and societal landscape is shifting, with major new powers emerging and smaller states attempting to protect their interests in this changing dynamic. At the same time, climate change and the other long-term emerging threats to security will require regional responses and thus a degree of regional unity. This report is based on the outcomes of a consultation that Oxford Research Group and the Singapore Institute of International Affairs held in Singapore in September 2008. Bringing together security experts, academics, government officials and civil society leaders from across Asia and Australasia, the two-day meeting explored the implications of the sustainable security framework for the region.
