  • Extreme Weather Events as Teachable Moments

    Open AccessJoshua Ettinger, Peter Walton et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Communication2023

    Extreme weather events are often described as teachable moments for climate change. In this article, we explore insights about the concept of teachable moments from healthcare literature and apply them to the climate change communication context. Specifically, we adapt Flocke et al.’s (2012. A teachable moment communication process for smoking cessation talk: description of a group randomized clinician-focused intervention. BMC Health Services Re…

  • “What’s Up with the Weather?” Public Engagement with Extreme Event Attribution in the United Kingdom

    Open AccessJoshua Ettinger, Peter Walton et al.ARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2021

    The science of extreme event attribution (EEA)—which connects specific extreme weather events with anthropogenic climate change—could prove useful for engaging the public about climate change. However, there is limited empirical research examining EEA as a climate change communication tool. To help fill this gap, we conducted focus groups with members of the U.K. public to explore benefits and challenges of utilizing EEA results in climate change…

  • Reporting on the 2019 European Heatwaves and Climate Change

    Open AccessNadine Strauß, John Painter et al.ARTICLEJournalism Practice2021Citada por: 8Referências: 19

    In summer 2019, several countries in Europe experienced unprecedented heatwaves. Two extreme event attribution (EEA) studies, which assess the role of climate change in extreme weather events, were published at roughly the same time as the heatwaves were taking place (June/August 2019). Building on a prior study of online news media coverage of the heatwaves, this study surveyed journalists from major news outlets in France, Germany, the Netherla…

  • Media Representation of Extreme Event Attribution

    Open AccessShannon Osaka, John Painter et al.ARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2020

    Extreme event attribution (EEA) is a relatively new branch of climate science combining weather observations and modeling to assess and quantify whether and to what extent anthropogenic climate change altered extreme weather events (such as heat waves, droughts, and floods). Such weather events are frequently depicted in the media, which enhances the potential of EEA coverage to serve as a tool to communicate on-the-ground climate impacts to the …

  • Virtues of the educator

    Peter WaltonARTICLEEducational Philosophy and Theory2020

    This article is a translation, with accompanying comments, of an address given by Paulo Freire in 1985. Freire deals with his vision of the virtues necessary in a teacher. He considers eight virtues, the final one underpinning the others. For Freire, this final virtue—the necessity of reading the text from reading the context—means that critical discussion in the classroom (or other space dedicated to education) is recognized by the students as r…

  • The Importance of Place in Communicating Climate Change to Different Facets of the American Public

    Open AccessAbby Halperin, Peter WaltonARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2018

    While the need for action on climate change is urgent, individual-level behaviors to mitigate or adapt to the problem have not tracked with the increasing urgency for action. Place-based communication of climate change may catalyze action by making climate change more personally relevant. However, there is no one general public, so communication efforts can unintentionally polarize beliefs. This study aims to fill the gap in knowledge about how a…

  • Attribution of extreme weather and climate‐related events

    Open AccessPeter A Stott, Nikolaos Christidis et al.ARTICLEWiley Interdisciplinary Reviews…2016

    Extreme weather and climate‐related events occur in a particular place, by definition, infrequently. It is therefore challenging to detect systematic changes in their occurrence given the relative shortness of observational records. However, there is a clear interest from outside the climate science community in the extent to which recent damaging extreme events can be linked to human‐induced climate change or natural climate variability. Event a…

  • Stakeholder Perspectives on the Attribution of Extreme Weather Events

    Open AccessSebastian Sippel, Peter Walton et al.ARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2015

    Recent extreme weather events and their impacts on societies have highlighted the need for timely adaptation to the changing odds of their occurrence. Such measures require appropriate information about likely changes in event frequency and magnitude on relevant spatiotemporal scales. However, to support robust climate information for decision-making, an effective communication between scientists and stakeholders is crucial. In this context, weat…

  • The true and fair view and the drafting of the Fourth Directive

    Peter WaltonARTICLEEuropean Accounting Review1997

    The article reviews the drafting of the Fourth Directive with a view to analysing the mechanisms whereby the overriding requirement that accounts should provide a true and fair view of the state of affairs of a company was introduced into the second draft of the directive. It examines the published comments from the expert group which wrote the initial discussion document and from the European Parliament and the Economic and Social Committee. It …

  • Introduction

    Peter WaltonARTICLEEuropean Accounting Review1993

    This article sets out to provide a framework against which to evaluate the true and fair view. It poses the question as to what the true and fair view might mean, and what significance it has. It analyses what the term means in the British accounting literature, how the meaning of such a term arises and how it may be transferred to other countries. It then considers what is the significance of the term in the political arena.1
