Geoengineering, the idea of addressing climate change through
large-scale technological projects, is a unique example of a
contested emerging technology. It stands out in the degree to which
both its scope of possibilities and its premise are characterized
by global existential risks. Despite controversy, this field has
been shifting toward mainstream consideration. Geoengineering
Discourse Confronting Climate Change: The Move from Margins to
Mainstream in Science, News Media, and Politics examines the
trajectory of geoengineering through critical discourse analysis of
three key genres: science policy reports, news media journalism,
and congressional hearings. Brynna Jacobson explores how science
policy reports from distinguished scientific societies have
constructed certain notions of legitimacy around geoengineering as
well as how narratives within news coverage have shaped the public
discourse and understanding of geoengineering. The book further
demonstrates that geoengineering has garnered political support
from both major political parties in the United States. Through
analysis of discursive conventions within these genres, the author
reveals the evolution of notions of normalcy, legitimacy, and
imperative around the field of geoengineering.
