Climate change is a problem of extraordinary scale and constitutes one of the most significant challenges ever to confront the modern global community. Like the potential of global nuclear war, climate change threatens the continuation of modern societies. Prevailing scientific consensus, even at their most modest, is that it will fundamentally alter the political, social and economic activities of all societies. These effects call into question many of the development practices that have produced and sustained the contemporary world. In so doing, they undermine certainty in future industrialisation and raise doubts concerning current notions of progress.
