Systems Thinking for Geoengineering Policy How to reduce the threat of dangerous climate change by embracing uncertainty and failure

Systems Thinking for Geoengineering Policy How to reduce the threat of dangerous climate change by embracing uncertainty and failure

Even by the scientists most closely associated with it geoengineering – the deliberate intervention in the climate at global scale to mitigate the effects of climate change – is perceived to be risky. For all its potential benefits there are robust differences of opinion over the wisdom of such an intervention. Systems Thinking for Geoengineering Policy is the first book to theorise geoengineering in terms of complex adaptive systems theory and to argue for the theoretical imperative of adaptive management as the default methodology for an effective low risk means of confronting the inescapable uncertainty and surprise that characterise potential climate futures. The book illustrates how a shift from the conventional Enlightenment paradigm of linear reductionist thinking in favour of systems thinking would promote policies that are robust against the widest range of plausible futures rather than optimal only for the most likely and also unlock the policy paralysis caused by making long term predictions of policy outcomes a prior condition for policy formulation. It also offers some systems driven reflections on a global governance network for geoengineering. This book is a valuable resource for all those with an interest in climate change policy geoengineering and CAS theory including academics under- and postgraduate students and policymakers. | Systems Thinking for Geoengineering Policy How to reduce the threat of dangerous climate change by embracing uncertainty and failure

The Troubled Rhetoric and Communication of Climate Change The argumentative situation

Despite an overwhelming scientific consensus climate change remains one of the most controversial issues of our time. Focusing on the rhetoric that surrounds the issue of climate change this groundbreaking book analyses why the debate continues to rage and examines how we should argue when winning the argument really matters.

The book also strikes a hopeful note reminding us that people do change their minds in response to effective argumentation that appeals to deeply shared values. Offering new insight into an ongoing academic discussion about the nature of argument and how it can be undertaken more effectively and ethically as well as a new perspective on the rhetoric of science and technology this book will be a valuable resource to students and scholars of climate change environmental humanities rhetoric environmental communication sociology and science and technology studies. | The Troubled Rhetoric and Communication of Climate Change The argumentative situation
