It tackles the pivotal question of what, precisely, constitutes contemporary scientific practice. The author offers an insider's account of the experience of undertaking scientific training and of practicing as a climate scientist in order to examine the gulf between the way that science is perceived and pursued. Lewis delves into this discrepancy, drawing on personal experiences, recent scientific studies, extreme climatic events and political controversies. The book begins by considering the relevance of key concepts such as knowability, credibility, authority and objectivity to the practice of climate science. The following chapters argue that these concepts alone are limiting to our critical understanding climate science and climate change. The book then proposes a new view of scientific practice appropriate for diverse disciplines by arguing that concepts such as transparency andcuriosity are equally important to scientific practice as the more familiar key concepts introduced at the start of the book. This book will appeal to climate scientists, social scientists and those interested in the challenges posed by future climate change. Sophie C. Lewis is a Senior Lecturer in the Fenner School of Environment and Society at The Australian National University (ANU), Australia. She is an investigator in the Centre of Excellence for Climate Systems Science and has published on past, present and future climate change and variability. . 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aClimatology 606 $aEnvironmental sciences$xSocial aspects 606 $aEcology 606 $aEnvironmental Policy 606 $aClimate Sciences 606 $aEnvironmental Social Sciences 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aClimatology. 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aEcology. 615 14$aEnvironmental Policy. 615 24$aClimate Sciences. 615 24$aEnvironmental Social Sciences. 615 24$aEnvironmental Sciences. 676 $a354.3 700 $aLewis$b Sophie C$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01060907 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910252710303321 996 $aA Changing Climate for Science$92516270 997 $aUNINA
