Meaningful climate science

Within the climate science community, useable climate science has been understood as quantitative... Sheila Jasanoff has argued... abstraction in climate science “detaches knowledge from meaning.”  Perhaps useable climate science is, then, meaningful climate science... 

physical climate storylines can be aligned with … narratives, boundary objects, and data journeys… as a ‘pidgin language’ to enrich the set of tools available to climate scientists to bring meaning to climate knowledge. “And what is the use of a book”, thought Alice, “without pictures or conversations?” (Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland)

The role of public relations firms in climate change politics

Abstract

Climate change policy has long been subject to influence by a wide variety of organizations. Despite their importance, the key role of public relations (PR) firms has long been overlooked in the climate political space. This paper provides an exploratory overview of the extent and nature of involvement of PR firms in climate political action by organizations ... Our analysis shows that PR firms are a key organizational actor in climate politics.
