- Summary:
- Mediating Climate Change explores how practices of mediation and visualisation shape how we think about, address and act upon climate change. Through historical and contemporary case studies drawn from science, media, politics and culture, Doyle identifies the representational problems climate change poses for public and political debate . She explores how climate change can be made more meaningful and calls for a more nuanced understanding of human-environmental relations.
