Part 13 on Geology, Politics and Philosophy: Climate Change versus Nation State Politics

The Topic Idea

Nation state politics tends to be very insular, but climate change will force insular politicians to work together. Otherwise the individual state will get overwhelmed by nature generated problems.

  Hunor Deak in Edinburgh I lived in Edinburgh for over 5 years. I experienced a great overview through the city. I took part in the various art festivals, I went to local geology field trips and joined a great deal of local and national geology societies.
