"Strange as it may seem, early germ theorists could tell us a lot about today’s
attitudes toward climate change.
While researching for a new book about the history of emerging infections, I
found many similarities between early debates over the existence of microbes
and current debates over the existence of global warming.
Both controversies reveal the struggles of perceiving an unseen threat. Both
reveal the influence of economic interests that benefit from the status quo.
But most importantly, both reveal how people with different beliefs and
interests can still agree on key policies and practices for tackling a global
problem."
