La Nina and the making of climate optimism
remembering rain /[electronic resource] :by Julia Miller. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2019. - xxii, 288 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.
Chapter 1. Attitudes to Climate -- Chapter 2 Wastelands, Gardens, Hopes and Visions -- Chapter 3. Federated and Fed-up: Fragility after Fecundity (1895-1905) -- Chapter 4. Soaking in Hope: Provident Nature and Grand Schemes (1909-1929) -- Chapter 5. The Battle with Drought: Water the Essential Element (1940-1949) -- Chapter 6. A Run of Good Seasons (1950-57 and 1970-75) -- Chapter 7. Remembering Rain: The Ghost of Good Seasons Past (1960-1969) -- Chapter 8. A Change in the Weather. Conservation as the Catch Cry (1980-1990) -- Chapter 9. Climates of Opinion: The Role of La Nina and Permanent Change -- Chapter 10. Conclusion.
This book examines the deep connection Australians have with their climate to understand contemporary views on human-induced climate change. It is the first study of the Australian relationship with La Nina and it explains how fundamental this relationship is to the climate change debate both locally and globally. While unease with the Australian environment was a hallmark of early settler relations with a new continent, this book argues that the climate itself quickly became a source of hope and linked to progress. Once observed, weather patterns coalesced into recognizable cycles of wet and dry years and Australians adopted a belief in the certainty of good seasons. It was this optimistic response to climate linked to La Nina that laid the groundwork for this relationship with the Australian environment. This book will appeal to scholars and students of the environmental humanities, history and science as well as anyone concerned about climate change.
