But it doesn't have to be that way. In \u003ci\u003eWhy We Argue about Climate Change\u003c\/i\u003e, Eric Knight unpicks the misconceptions that keep us arguing about, and stop us seeing, the nature of the problem – and its solutions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Why can't we learn anything about climate change from snowdrifts or scorching hot days? And whom should we listen to – scientists or politicians – to find answers? With optimism and clarity, Knight cuts through the distractions that surround the debate, arguing that wasteful consumption is nothing more than a red herring, while we have much to learn from China's frugal innovations in clean technology. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As politicians and commentators continue to squabble, \u003ci\u003eWhy We Argue about Climate Change\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for those who want to solve the puzzle of climate change rather than argue about the weather. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This short book draws on, expands and updates chapters from Eric Knight's \u003ci\u003eReframe.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eLonglisted for the 2014 John Button Prize\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Eric Knight is the author of \u003ci\u003eReframe: How to solve the world’s trickiest problems\u003c\/i\u003e.
