The urgency of the global warming challenge combined with the implication of almost every facet of a nation-state's economic interests places significant burdens on the established largely-voluntary global institutions that have developed over the last century; institutions that have been unable to effectively reshape themselves and move fast enough to deal with this unique challenge. This book expatiates on the desideratum of a paradigm shift from faith in the Newtonian mechanistic view of the universe to a faith in the profundity of Eastern wisdom and new insights presently found in science, which see both nature and human beings as warp and woof woven beautifully into the divine tapestry. Contents: Historical Perspective • Abrupt Climate Change • Greenhouse Effect • Global Cooling • Responses to Global Warming • Global Food Security under Climate Change • Climate Change and World Food Supply • The Climate Change - Agriculture Conundrum • Impact of Climate Change on Indian Agriculture • Fisheries and Climate Change.
