Three Paradoxes of Climate Truth for the Anthropocene Social Scientist
The Paradox of Eliminating the Main Driver
The role of humans as central drivers in ecosystem degradation
Decreased populations and decelerated consumption
Scenarios - offer both some elements of scientific findings and postulates as well as the imagined futures extrapolated from particular readings
The Paradox of Objectivity and Passion
Findings and perspectives instead of facts
Scientists are also citizens of the world and practicing members of various communities. Can they be depassionate?
Have an opinion on what they consider a “good” outcome based on principles
The Paradox of Double Irrelevance
Large corporations gather and interpret their own social and scientific data
Social Scientists are irrelevant for society, climate scientists and organizations
They become more involved with scientific communities and less involved with policy makers and the general public
Learning new sets of skills in science communication and public engagement as well as the adoption of new rules and procedures around evaluating multiple modes of impact, and adopting new forms of tenure and review
Two institutional factors
Construction of climate truth
Climate truths are translated and diffused
Political power
Translation in relational fields
General public and policy makers consider social scientists to be blinded by their perspective regarding society
