Rolando García: Refugee, Radical, Climate's Attorney at Law
With a few exceptions, the history of climate studies is currently dominated by work on scientists from North America and Europe, often those with stable socio‐economic backgrounds and uncontroversial or unstated political beliefs. The story of Rolando Victor García Boutigue (1919–2012) is a precious example of how a radical scholar from South America responded to the emergence of climate discussion in the 1970s. Having grown up in a poor househo…
Atmospheres of influence: The role of journal editors in shaping early climate change narratives
The role of editorial staff in shaping early climate change narratives has been underexplored and deserves more attention. During the 1970s, the epistemological underpinnings of the production of knowledge on climate change were contested between scientists who favoured computer-based atmospheric simulations and those who were more interested in investigating the long-term history of climatic changes. Although the former group later became predom…
Chernobyl, Dark Waters and the contingency of environmental disaster and scientific knowledge
This article contributes towards scholarship on teaching environmental history by analysing a series (Chernobyl, 2019) and film (Dark Waters, 2019). It argues that the immediacy of such media offer an ideal entry point into environmental history and history of science for students first studying those subjects. As well, it provides a model for how to use media in environment history
Reid Bryson: The crisis climatologist
Reid Allen Bryson (1920–2008) was a forceful orator who consistently fought against institutional pressures to get his messages out to the public. In the 1960s, Bryson was a leader in the wider academic turn toward politically charged interdisciplinarianism. To the dismay of many of his colleagues, he publicly made climatological prognoses in the 1970s, becoming a significant figure in the media landscape. He was not swayed by the arguments for g…
The Bryson synthesis: The forging of climate change narratives during the World Food Crisis
Argument During the first half of the 1970s, climate research gained a new significance and began to be perceived within political and academic circles as being worthy of public support. Conventional explanations for this increased status include a series of climate anomalies that generated awareness and heightened concern over the potentially devastating effects of climate change. Controversial climatologist Reid Bryson was one of the first to p…
