Trying to make sense of disparate arguments about climate change -- The many faces of dispute -- Climate change : part of globalization? -- Arguments : agreeing and disagreeing -- Finding common ground : the features of the arguments themselves -- Elements of arguments as social links -- Beyond family ties : social network analysis -- Prospects for the debate : endless recycling of arguments or movement toward agreement? |
| Summary |
As greenhouse gas emissions continue unabated and contentious voices fill the air, the question gains urgency: How can people with widely varying viewpoints agree to address climate change? Each participant in the debate seems to have a different agenda, from protecting economic growth in developing countries to protecting the energy industry in industrialized countries, from those aghast at the damage done to the Earth to optimists who think we just need to adjust our technological approach. Debating Climate Change sorts through the tangle of arguments surrounding climate change to find paths. |
