Wendy S. Parker and I have advanced an inductive-risk approach to the provision of climate information that relies on the contextual values of information users. This approach aims to improve the effectiveness of climate information in social decision making. The approach’s emphasis on user values, however, conflicts with the so-called democratic view: if scientists employ contextual values, they ought to employ democratically endorsed values to preserve political legitimacy. This article draws on deliberative democratic theory to resolve the conflict, demonstrating that whether user values are legitimate to employ depends on the way labor is divided across deliberative moments.

民主视角下的政治合法性：气候服务案例

Wendy S. Parker 和我已经提出了一种归纳风险方法来提供依赖于信息用户上下文价值的气候信息。这种方法旨在提高气候信息在社会决策中的有效性。然而，该方法对用户价值的强调与所谓的民主观点相冲突：如果科学家采用情境价值，他们应该采用民主认可的价值来维护政治合法性。本文借鉴协商民主理论来解决冲突，证明用户价值是否合法使用取决于劳动在协商时刻的分配方式。
