A CLIMATE change expert from Aberaeron has published a book which a leading academic says he hopes will be ‘a turning of the tide’.
In ‘Great Adaptions’, Dr Morgan Phillips recounts stories of adaptation from the air-conditioned pavements of Doha and the feral camels of Australia, to the ‘cool rooms’ of Paris and the ‘fog catchers’ of Morocco.
The book – which ‘presses home the need for adaptations that are ecologically restorative and socially just’ - has been described as ‘a call to action’.
Prof Rupert Read, of the University of East Anglia, said: “My earnest hope is that this book will be a turning of the tide; and that, with the silence broken, the world can finally begin the painful process of awakening properly to climate reality.
