dear colleagues, having lived through a particular historical period, i’m once again in the embarrassing position of looking for studies that confirm my memories (or show that i was actually elsewhere at the time).
i experienced the rise of the climate change issue in the 1980s as science-led, with environmental groups being late to the issue, in part because (begin speculation) 1)it’s a difficult issue scientifically and experientiallym so there was a predictable time lag 2)fears that it would bring in nuclear power 3) fears that it would be a difficult issue to communicate and raise money around. can you suggest sources that show that i’m either right or wrong about these things? thanks, dale ********************** Dale Jamieson Director of Environmental Studies Professor of Environmental Studies and Philosophy Affiliated Professor of Law Environmental Studies Program New York University 285 Mercer Street, 901 New York NY 10003-6653 Voice 212-998-5429 Fax 212-995-4157 http://philosophy.fas.nyu.edu/object/dalejamieson.html "Talk to people where they're at--not where you're at."--Saul Alinsky -
