Hans von Storch and Nico Stehr, the authors of this anthology,
reflect on the popular and scientific perception and construction
of the phenomenon climate, climate change, climate policy and the
impact of climate on society. In the early 1990s, the authors
encountered notable resistance especially as they wrote about the
urgency for societal adaptation to climate change. Something is
wrong with our planet, and it is obvious that immediate action is
needed to rectify the situation; the mankind activity that has been
impacting on climate changes. However, the translation of
scientific knowledge into society is not automatic or an autonomous
force. Moving science into society is subject to economic,
political, and cultural constraints and a central issue of the
book.Nico Stehr is a sociologist specializing in the theory of
modern society and the sociology of knowledge; Hans von Storch is a
mathematician and is also physical climate scientist. Since the
authors 'inhabit' rather different scientific cultures, their
collaboration moreover is genuinely interdisciplinary and exemplary
for transdisciplinary work. More specifically, the book documents
the interdisciplinary path and the wide range of themes that has
occupied Nico Stehr and Hans von Storch during more than three
decades of joint research and writing and that continue to be of
benefit to current research and reflection on the interrelation
between nature, democracy, society, governance, and climate.
