摘要

It is only in the last decade that the interpretive social sciences and the humanities have turned their attention to the deep practical challenges and theoretical questions raised by climate change.1 One reason, perhaps, for this delay is that the discussion of climate change occurred in scientific and policy circles in which few humanists have historically participated. It was scientists and policy makers who shaped the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (1992) and the well-known Kyoto Protocol (1997). It was not until 2007, with the appearance of the Fourth Assessment Report of the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), that climate change became a topic of sustained interest in popular media. The IPCC Fourth Report marked the beginning of a broad effort to communicate the scientific consensus that the earth's climate was changing, that these changes were anthropogenic in origin, and that widespread use of fossil fuels produced the greenhouse gases responsible. Scientists and policy experts argued that carbon emissions should be kept low enough to prevent the earth from warming more than 2 °C. To live within this "carbon budget," they advocated a world-wide effort to develop renewable energy sources. To deal with consequences of climate change already believed to be inevitable, they advocated steps to mitigate global wanning, sea-level rise, severe weather, and ecological stress.
