Do politicians believe in the imminence of the threat&#160;?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This debate, more or less, intends to bring the traditional question that underpins any political movement (reform or revolution&#160;?) in the field of environmental policies. Are reforms more realistic than revolutions&#160;? Are revolutions more efficient than reforms&#160;?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To give your point of view on these different issues and Nordhaus and Trembath&rsquo;s paper, come to our last debate of Hilary&#160;!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No debate experience or political background is necessary. We value diversity of perspectives and opinions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Free refreshments will be provided at 7pm and the session starts at 7:15 promptly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saint John\u2019s College, New Seminar Room (see map below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image-medium\"\n    data-shadow=\"false\"\n    data-use-original-file=\"false\">\n    <a\n        data-pswp-src=\"https:\/\/legrandcontinent.eu\/fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/Plan-St-Johns.jpg\"\n        class=\"inline-block gallery-item no-underline \"\n        data-pswp-width=\"1000\"\n        data-pswp-height=\"718\">\n                                        <picture>\r\n                    <source\r\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/legrandcontinent.eu\/fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/Plan-St-Johns-330x237.jpg\"\r\n                media=\"(max-width:  374px)\" \/>\r\n                    <source\r\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/legrandcontinent.eu\/fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/Plan-St-Johns-690x495.jpg\"\r\n                media=\"(max-width:  989px)\" \/>\r\n                    <source\r\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/legrandcontinent.eu\/fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/Plan-St-Johns-990x711.jpg\"\r\n                media=\"(max-width: 1319px)\" \/>\r\n                    <source\r\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/legrandcontinent.eu\/fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/Plan-St-Johns-690x495.jpg\"\r\n                media=\"(max-width: 1599px)\" \/>\r\n                    <source\r\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/legrandcontinent.eu\/fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/Plan-St-Johns-990x711.jpg\"\r\n                media=\"(min-width: 1600px)\" \/>\r\n                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"St John&#039;s College Map\" src=\"https:\/\/legrandcontinent.eu\/fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/Plan-St-Johns-125x90.jpg\" \/>\r\n        <\/picture>\r\n                            \n            <\/a>\n<\/figure>","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":53885,"template":"templates\/event-debate.php","categories":[],"event-type":[],"geo":[],"class_list":["post-61930","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Is climate change more like an asteroid or diabetes?
