商品簡介
The author argues that climate needs to be understood culturally, challenging the predominance of natural science definitions of climate and scientific understanding of climate change. He emphasizes the cultural origins of the idea of climate, rather than framing it as only an interconnected global physical system, and contends that it is an idea that is given meaning through and can be changed by cultures. He considers how climate is an idea that humans use to stabilize cultural relationships with their weather; how climate change is a concept through which the material, psychological, and cultural agency of climate is exercised; and how climate change is the latest stage in the cultural evolution of the idea of climate. He examines different aspects of how cultures use or have used the idea of climate to make sense of their relationship with the weather in terms of histories and knowledge of climate and explanations of changing climates; living with climate, blaming it for various events and phenomena, fears of climate, and representations in science and the arts; and relationships with future climates, including predictions, attempts to control it, and governance.
