Abstract

The rapid integration of commerce, transport, and communication over the past century seems to suggest that the world is on the path to becoming a single global civilization. Although the form of governance that will maintain that civilization has yet to be determined, there is no reason to assume that it will be democratic, unless there is a deliberate and sustained effort to assure that it is. Given the symbiotic relationship between science and democracy, and the superior historical record of democratic governments on environmental issues, there is reason to believe that the establishment of democratic governance on a global scale would offer the best strategy for dealing with climate change.
