Abstract

Building on post-normal science, Brüggemann et al. (2020) suggest that the uncertain, disputed, high-stakes, and urgent character of the climate challenge facing modern societies may alter the conventional notion of what is expected of scientists, journalists, and citizens in the public discussion of climate science. This article examines this notion via 15 focus groups with climate scientists, climate journalists, and citizens (N = 76). The analysis shows that neither of the three actors want climate scientists and climate journalists to act as advocates. However, interestingly, it is seen as legitimate for climate scientists to express emotions connected to their findings.

气候科学传播中的紧急状态还是照常营业？气候科学家、气候记者和公民角色认知的三维视角

在后常态科学的基础上，Brüggemann等人（2020）认为，现代社会面临的气候挑战的不确定性、争议性、高风险性和紧迫性可能会改变科学家、记者和公民在气候科学公开讨论中的传统观念。本文通过气候科学家、气候记者和公民组成的15个焦点小组（N=76）来研究这一概念。分析表明，三方都不希望气候科学家和气候记者充当倡导者。然而，有趣的是，气候科学家表达与他们的发现相关的情绪被认为是合法的。
