Re: Follow up to "Copenhagen Accord - missing numbers"

[Betsill,Michele]

That is what I understood as well but I'm still a little unclear why they 
weren't included in the final accord. I've heard some talk about objections 
from China but would appreciate any insights. I've been asked to speak to the 
local UN chapter next week and am trying to piece together the story of what 
happened.

Thanks,
Michele

Dear all again

I might be able to answer my own question. Have just found a report from David 
Doniger from NRDC Climate Center who refers in his blog to such a draft being 
circulated but says that it turned out to be an illustrative example reportedly 
offered by the EU at the November negotiating session in Barcelona 
-http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/ddoniger/the_copenhagen_accord_a_big_st.html

But still keen for any insights on this, particularly from those who were there.

Research Assistance at the COP

[Betsill,Michele]

Dear Colleagues,

Matt Hoffmann, Mat Paterson and I would like to ask for some research 
assistance from those of you attending COP-15 in Copenhagen. We are doing a
project on the role of the carbon market as a policy response to  climate 
change and are interested in the extent to which people are  talking about the 
market
(financing, CDM, the voluntary market, cap  and trade, etc.) in the various 
negotiation groups and side events. If you have a chance, we would appreciate 
reports
on the various events you have been attending. In particular, we are interested 
in the following information:

Name and organizer of the event
Main purpose of the event
Was there any consideration of the market in the discussion?
If so, what percentage of the discussion was devoted to market issues
(less than 25%; 26-50%; 51-75%; more than 75%)
If so, what was the nature of the market discussion (e.g. a technical
discussion of market mechanisms, a backdrop to other considerations,
the role of investment, etc.)
If so, what perspective was reflected in the discussion (pro-market;
anti-market; neutral, etc.)

If you don't have the time or inclination to send us reports on individual 
events, we would also be interested in short reflections on your impressions on 
the role of the carbon market
discussion at  Copenhagen. Please be sure to clarify the types of events you've 
been  attending.

Please send contributions to either Matt Hoffmann 
(mjh...@utsc.utoronto.ca>)
 or Michele Betsill 
(m.bets...@colostate.edu>).

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Best,
Michele, Matt and Mat

Russian climate policy

[Betsill,Michele]

Does anyone have an English translation of the recent Russian climate change 
doctrine? Or can you recommend an English language source that would represent 
the voice of the Russian government on climate change? I'm having students do 
an assignment on the different ways countries define the problem and how that 
in turn shapes policy preferences. 

Thanks,

RE: "The Age of Stupid" Premiers

[Betsill,Michele]

I too went to the premier but left before the after show events (turns out kids 
must also be tended to!). I think I'm still processing my response and will be 
interested to hear reactions tomorrow from some of my students. I definitely 
went away with a sick feeling in my stomach but wasn't convinced it was a great 
mechanism for educating the general public about climate change. I agree with 
Angus that many points were unconnected and/or left vague and I wonder whether 
those who do not spend 24/7 thinking about climate change would really be able 
to put the pieces together. I'm afraid people will leave either feeling that 
the situation is hopeless or incredibly guilty, neither of which is 
particularly helpful in mobilizing society for change. Finally, I was surprised 
by the faith the filmmakers put in multilateral environmental agreements. At 
the end, they suggest the fate of the human species rests on the outcome of 
Copenhagen. That's a REALLY scary thought and misses so many of the other 
opportunities we have for addressing the issue.

My two cents for what it's worth.

Yes, I went here in Boston, and the theater was packed (maybe because it was 
the only one accessible by public transit?).  I found the film to be more than 
a little depressing!

As far as scientific information goes, Al Gore did a better job in "An 
Inconvenient Truth" of explaining why climate change is happening and what are 
the scientific underpinnings of the theory, as well as providing a sense of 
hopefulness that the average viewer can yet take action.  What "Age of Stupid" 
did was to paint some possible results of the worst-case warming scenario, and 
it did so in a very fatalistic manner, from the wind turbine guy in the UK to 
the French Alpine climber to the two Iraqi kids.  I even saw some people in the 
theater crying at the end, when Pete Postlethwaite sends the Archive message 
into space.  I couldn't stay for the New York-based Q&A after the film (nothing 
is sure in this world but death, taxes, and that the dog must be let out), so I 
don't know if they provided ideas for action, but future screenings of the film 
will not have a Q&A afterward.

Overall, it's a good addition to the growing body of environmental films, but 
I'm afraid that it's hopeless tone will push the average person into a sense of 
futility.

Hi all-forgive me for cross posting. I wanted to bring the premier of a very 
important film to you attention. I was fortunate enough to see The Age of 
Stupid at a special showing for the attendees of the Climate Project's 
Nashville Summit in March. At that time, it had only been released in the UK. 
It is a provocative, powerful, plausible, and disturbing film set in a post 
global warming world of 2055. From that perspective, it looks back at our own 
time, the "age of stupid" and chronicles 6 highly plausible (in fact, I see 
most of them actually going on now) stories that are interwoven to show how we 
got to a destroyed world. It is beautifully acted with Pete Postlethwaite as 
the principle and the production is excellent. About 20% fiction and 80% 
documentary. Here is the "blurb" from the web site:

The Age of Stupid is the new four-year epic from McLibel director Franny 
Armstrong. Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite stars as a man living alone in 
the devastated world of 2055, looking at old footage from 2008 and asking: why 
didn't we stop climate change when we had the chance? MORE

This will be premiered at a special showing at 400 theaters in North America on 
Monday 21 September at 7:30 eastern (6:30 central, etc.). I will be urging my 
own students to attend and I urge you to bring it to the attention of your

2nd Announcement: CfP - 2009 Amsterdam Conference on the Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change

[Betsill,Michele]

C A L L  FOR  P A P E R S

'Earth System Governance: People, Places, and the Planet'

2009 Amsterdam Conference on the Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change

Amsterdam, 2-4 December 2009

We invite you to the 2009 Amsterdam Conference on the Human Dimensions of 
Global Environmental Change, to be held 2-4 December 2009. This conference will 
be the ninth event in the series of annual European Conferences on the Human 
Dimensions of Global Environmental Change, begun in Berlin in 2001.

This year's conference will also be the global launch event of the Earth System 
Governance Project, a new ten-year research programme under the auspices of the 
International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP).

The conference is hosted jointly by the Institute for Environmental Studies at 
the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and the Netherlands Research School for 
Socio-economic and Natural Sciences of the Environment (SENSE), in co-operation 
with their partner institutions: the European Cooperation in Science and 
Technology (COST) Action on Transformation of Global Environmental Governance; 
GLOGOV.ORG-The Global Governance Project; the Institute for Global 
Environmental Strategies, Japan; the Netherlands Environmental Assessment 
Agency; the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences; the Stockholm 
Resilience Centre; and the Tokyo Institute of Technology.

KEY DATES:
Deadline for paper abstracts: 15 May 2009
Notification of acceptance: 15 July 2009
Full papers due: 15 November 2009

The Earth System Governance Project seeks to analyse the interrelated and 
increasingly integrated system of formal and informal rules, rule-making 
systems, and actor-networks at all levels of human society (from local to 
global) that are set up to steer societies towards preventing, mitigating, and 
adapting to global and local environmental change and earth system 
transformation. The notion of earth system governance describes an emerging 
social phenomenon - expressed in hundreds of international regimes, 
bureaucracies, national agencies, activists groups and expert networks - that 
engages numerous actors, institutions and networks at local and global levels. 
At the same time, earth system governance is a demanding and vital subject of 
research in the social sciences, which we hope will be reflected in lively 
discussions at the 2009 Amsterdam Conference.

The Earth System Governance Project also reflects recent developments within 
the Earth System Science Partnership, which unites the World Climate Research 
Programme, the International Biosphere-Geosphere Programme, the DIVERSITAS 
programme, and the IHDP. The mission statement of the Earth System Science 
Partnership calls upon social scientists to develop 'strategies for earth 
system management'. Yet what such strategies might be, and how such strategies 
are to be developed, remains poorly understood in the social sciences.

The challenge of earth system governance raises numerous theoretical, 
methodological and empirical questions, many of which are elaborated upon in 
detail in the new Science and Implementation Plan of the IHDP Earth System 
Governance Project (earthsystemgovernance.org).

The 2009 Amsterdam Conference is organised around the five core analytical 
problems identified in this science plan:

1.  Architectures of Earth System Governance. We invite papers on the 
emergence, design and effectiveness of governance systems and the overall 
integration of global, regional, national and local governance. Core questions 
include: How is performance of environmental institutions affected by their 
embedding in larger architectures? What are the environmental consequences of 
non-environmental governance systems? What is the relative performance of 
different types of multilevel governance architectures? How can we explain 
instances of 'non-governance'? What are overarching and crosscutting norms of 
earth system governance?

2.  Agency in Earth System Governance. We invite papers that advance 
understanding of the actors and agents that drive earth system governance and 
the ways in which authority is granted to them and how it is exercised. We 
welcome papers on the influence, roles and responsibilities of both state 
actors and non-state actors, such as business and non-profit organisations. 
Core questions are: What is agency in earth system governance, and who are the 
agents? How do different agents exercise agency in earth system governance, and 
how can we evaluate their relevance?

3.  Adaptiveness of Earth System Governance. We invite papers on the 
adaptiveness of earth system governance, a theme that includes here related 
concepts such as adaptation, adaptive management, resilience, or vulnerability. 
What are the politics of adaptiveness? Which governance processes foster it? 
What attributes of governance systems enhance capacities to adapt? How, when 
and why does adaptiveness influence earth

Dear all,

At Michigan State, we have the Doctoral Specialization in Environmental 
Science and Policy.  Students in the specialization come from a wide 
range of disciplines in the humanities, social and natural sciences.  
They all take a core of four courses in the specialization. Although 
there is no official specialization for Masters students, students in 
all affiliated departments can take the core courses as well I believe.  
More information is available at 
http://environment.msu.edu/specialization/index.html

The University of Michigan has excellent Masters and PhD programs in its 
School of Natural Resources and Environment.

Best wishes,

book recommendations

I had an interesting request from a couple of students taking my undergrad 
climate change politics course. They want to buy a book for their parents for 
Xmas that will help open up a conversation on climate change. They want 
something that is written for the lay public and not too "in your face". The 
first books that came to my mind were Speth's RED SKY AT MORNING and Doughman's 
edited volume CLIMATE CHANGE: WHAT IT MEANS FOR US, OUR CHILDREN AND OUR 
GRANDCHILDREN. Any other suggestions?

Hi Rob,
There are business schools with decent PhD programs specializing in

On the environmental side U. Michigan (Erb) and U. Cal Santa Barbara

INCONVENIENT TRUTH and Crichton's book (probably just a segment at this point) 
as examples of how climate change is communicated to the American public. I 
want the students to critically reflect on how the media and pop culture 
portray the issue and the subsequent implications for climate politics (e.g. 
calling Crichton as an "expert" witness). They'll have a number of related 
readings on communicating climate change (Dilling and Moser) as well as Max's 
work on the media and climate change. By this point, we will have also covered 
the natural and human dimensions in extensive detail and discussed the skeptics 
(including some of Riley's work) so we can critically engage the book on that 
level as well (e.g. followup on footnotes). I agree with Mike that students 
need to learn how to confront these issues because like it or not, they're out 
there. This is especially the case for those of us living in com!
 munities with vocal skeptics.

Thanks again,
Michele

Subject: RE: Crichton's "State of Fear"

I agree with Riley here: if people do incorporate it in courses, include
critiques of the science (as well as selective footnote style), and a great
deal of other context-setting comments about contrarian
interventions/strategies, as well as how it gains traction in politics and
policy.

Another illustration of this influence and context was a terribly
manipulative 'debate' format organized by the intelligence squared group in
DC, and aired on NPR:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=9082151

Two things were particularly troubling yet revealing here:
1) though the debate was supposedly to strictly cover whether or not it was
a 'crisis' (irresolvable and context-dependent really), many things got
thrown in for debate that shouldn't have been up for debate, such as whether
the climate is changing at all, and if humans influence climate change...it
was a disappointment in that regard

2) the statement being Oxford-style 'debated' here was 'global warming is
not a crisis'. So scientists including Richard Somerville had to argue that
'global warming is not not a crisis'a discursively awkward stance
Crichton was one of the debaters on the panel arguing that climate change
was NOT a crisis.

Subject: RE: Crichton's "State of Fear"

I agree that it would be good to show the reception that Crichton's fiction
received in our government, not only by Inhofe but by Bush (who met with
Crichton).

Inhofe invited Crichton to testify at a hearing of the full Senate Committee
on Environment and Public Works on 9/28/05 along with CSU skeptic William
Gray.   You can find the record of the hearing at the CEPW website, where
the current "minority page" run my Inhofe (specifically his climate-change
"hit man" Marc Morano) continues to represent the insitutionalization of
climate skepticism in the federal government (our tax dollars at work).  A
short NYC piece on the hearing by Michael Janofksy was published on 9/28/05.

Janofsky published a short piece on the Karl Rove-inspired meeting between
Bush and Crichton on 2/19/06 (and, like the above story, is readily
retrievable at the NYT website).

Personally I would NOT assign his book unless you also had students read one
of the reviews/critiques of his "science" by a qualified climate scientist,
as I think the typical undergrad would lack the ability to critically
evaluate Crichton's highly selective review of the literature and his heavy
reliance on climate skeptics.Off-hand I'm not sure of the best one, but
there must be a few.

Finally, if you'll forgive a bit of self-promotion, I'd recommed the
following article (not necessarily as an assigned reading) for providing
insight into the nature and sources of climate skepticism (and environmental
skepticism) more generally:

Jacques,

Crichton's "State of Fear"

[Betsill,Michele]

Has anyone used Michael Crichton's STATE OF FEAR book in a course? I was 
thinking of having students read it the same week we watch AN INCONVENIENT 
TRUTH in my climate politics class.

Thoughts?

I'm currently putting together such a course for the fall and would be

how much time to devote to the science-both the underlying biogeochemistry as 
well as the skeptics. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

RE: UG class in IEP research

[Betsill,Michele]

Hi Peter,

There's an excellent chapter on methods in IEP in a book I co-edited with Kathy 
Hochstetler and Dimitris Stevis. Kathy wrote the chapter along with Melinda 
Laituri (a geographer) and it covers the range of approaches used in the field, 
from positivism to postpositivism, quantitative to qualitative. I know several 
people have used this book with great success in graduate level IEP classes but 
I think it would also be appropriate for an honors undergrad class. The book 
citation is:
