Simon Burall argues that in relation to climate change, “the public debate is almost exclusively framed in scientific terms”. In order to “take the comprehensive action needed” government needs to recognise other forms of evidence and give them equal weight, particularly since technical arguments from science and economics cannot resolve complex trade-offs between communities; investment and mitigation, and different visions of the future. Simon believes, that by taking this necessary approach, “the business of government” will have to be done very differently.
