Abstract: | The paper explores the potential political impact of global climate change and, more generally, of natural disaster. Because
the affluent West has largely tamed the natural and the social domains, popular clamor for government to anticipate, prevent,
and redress disaster increases. I delineate several consequences of the new politics of disaster. |
