Interdisciplinary Climate
This paper presents the case for improved interdisciplinarity in climate research in the context of assessing and discussing the caution required when utilizing some types of historical climate data. This is done by a case study examining the reliability of the instruments used for collecting weather data in Australia between 1788 and 1840, as well as the observers themselves, during the British settlement of New South Wales. This period is chall…
The Political Economy of Addressing the Climate Crisis in the Earth System
This paper draws on antenarrative research and writing techniques to analyse the long-running transnational campaign seeking to improve respect for human rights in the supply chains of Nike and other major sportswear companies. The antenarrative approach challenges scholars to look beyond pre-existing expectations, both in terms of which actors and processes are likely to be most influential and in terms of what is motivating participation in tho…

Climate change, carbon prices and insurance systems
Market approaches to limit CO2e emissions such as carbon taxes and emissions trading schemes (ETSs) aim to avoid dangerous anthropogenic climate change by ascribing a financial cost to emissions. Yet such approaches have failed to establish either emissions limits or carbon prices equal to the task. We propose an approach to carbon pricing that better reflects the biogeophysical limits of the Earth system by drawing on aspects of insurance system…
Communicating Science Ethically
O ur ability to predict future behavior of natural and human systems has increased both through progress made in scientific knowledge and by our exploitation of powerful computer computations. Our ability to communicate results of this progress is, however, still very limited (cf. Henderson-Sellers 1996a). Premedieval nature was likened to a capricious god to whom prayer was necessary because predictions were so uncertain. The sixteenthto twentie…
