		<description><![CDATA[At national and international levels climate change policy is in a state of almost total paralysis. There is much talk, but very little substantive action.
In part, this paralysis stems from the different ways in which society makes sense of the phenomenon of climate change. Naming and characterising these competing frames is enormously useful in understanding [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wellsharp.wordpress.com&blog=2191066&post=656&subd=wellsharp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[‘Decoupling’ is green capitalism’s cunning plan: break the link between ecological degradation and economic growth, and voila! The ecological crisis of capitalism is overcome.
If decoupling is achieved, growth can continue, profits can be taken, standards of living can be raised, and there will be no discernable ecological consequences.
