摘要

有证据表明,媒体报道的人为气候变化与热浪、野火和洪水事件之间的联系越来越紧密。这通常与重大灾害有关,但这是一个相对的概念,因为灾害的概念是有背景的,灾害对受影响的人来说是小规模的破坏性的。使用批评性话语分析(CDA)分析了2023年3月新南威尔士州(澳大利亚)中西部地区Alpha Road/Tambaroora丛林大火的媒体报道,以分析科学、人为气候变化和极端天气相关事件之间的联系。重点是近因、成本和对生计的影响。没有关于气候变化的讨论。及时的归因科学,特别是将气候变化与重大天气相关事件(而不仅仅是大规模灾害)准确联系起来的快速评估,可能会增加媒体的知名度,并有助于科学传播。人们期望澳大利亚的部分地区会被烧毁,因此只有当森林大火成为灾难时才有新闻价值,为了生活在不断变化的气候中,这种期望需要受到挑战。

Science and science communication of anthropogenic climate change and extreme weather-related events: A Critical Discourse Analysis of the Alpha Road/Tambaroora bushfire in Australia, 2023
There is evidence of increased links in media coverage between anthropogenic climate change and heatwaves, wildfires and flooding events. This usually pertains to major disasters, but that is a relative concept as the notion of disaster is contextual and disasters are devastating at smaller scales for the people impacted. Media reporting of the Alpha Road/Tambaroora bushfire in the central-west region of New South Wales (Australia), in March 2023, was analysed using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to analyse links between science, anthropogenic climate change and an extreme weather-related event. There was a focus on proximate causes, costs and impact on livelihoods. There was an absence of climate change discourse. Timely attribution science, especially rapid assessments that accurately connect climate change with significant weather-related events, not just large-scale disasters, may increase media salience and assist with science communication. The expectation that parts of Australia will burn, and therefore bushfires become newsworthy only when they are disasters, needs to be challenged in order to live in a changing climate.

期刊介绍: Global Environmental Change is a prestigious international journal that publishes articles of high quality, both theoretically and empirically rigorous. The journal aims to contribute to the understanding of global environmental change from the perspectives of human and policy dimensions. Specifically, it considers global environmental change as the result of processes occurring at the local level, but with wide-ranging impacts on various spatial, temporal, and socio-political scales. In terms of content, the journal seeks articles with a strong social science component. This includes research that examines the societal drivers and consequences of environmental change, as well as social and policy processes that aim to address these challenges. While the journal covers a broad range of topics, including biodiversity and ecosystem services, climate, coasts, food systems, land use and land cover, oceans, urban areas, and water resources, it also welcomes contributions that investigate the drivers, consequences, and management of other areas affected by environmental change. Overall, Global Environmental Change encourages research that deepens our understanding of the complex interactions between human activities and the environment, with the goal of informing policy and decision-making.
