Steve Rayner is Oxford University's Professor of Science and Society at the Said Business School. As the Joint Editor of the 4-volume book 'Human Choice and Climate Change, Steve is also one of the most respected, if sometimes controversial, commentators on the sociological aspects of climate change. As a member of the IPCC, he takes the view that the Kyoto process is unlikely to be effective and speaks in favour of work on adaptation as a route to wider change. This interview with David Ballard covers these issues and his views on what the 'cargo cults' and 'millenarians' have to teach us about climate change responses. It was first published on Oxford University's changingclimate website in 2002.
