Climate change has been a significant area of scientific concern
since the late 1970s, but has only recently entered mainstream
culture and politics. However, as media coverage of climate change
increases in the twenty-first century, the gap between our
understanding of climate change and climate action appears to
widen. In this timely book, Julie Doyle explores how practices of
mediation and visualisation shape how we think about, address and
act upon climate change. Through historical and contemporary case
studies drawn from science, media, politics and culture, Mediating
Climate Change identifies the representational problems climate
change poses for public and political debate. It offers ways
forward by exploring how climate change can be made more meaningful
through, for example, innovative forms of climate activism, the
reframing of meat and dairy consumption, media engagement with
climate events and science, and artistic experimentation. Doyle
argues that cultural discourses have problematically situated
nature and the environment as objects externalised from humans and
culture. Mediating Climate Change calls for a more nuanced
understanding of human-environmental relations, in order for us to
be able to more fully imagine and address the challenges climate
change poses for us all.
