Climate Change Inaction and Post-Reality
Philosophies Pub Date : 2021-09-29 , DOI: 10.3390/philosophies6040080
Philip J. Wilson

Blame for climate change inaction is rarely directed at a fundamental cause, the excessive complexity of society. It has given rise to post-truth, which has been largely reduced to unflattering stereotypes of the public, and post-trust, by which the public see their national institutions as increasingly distant and ineffectual. The two comprise post-reality, by which confidence in the truth is weakened by distance from its source, a pervasive remoteness leads to a lack of accountability and indifference, and much scholarship and institutional practice is similarly prejudiced. A gross lack of proportion goes unnoticed in discourse that is innumerate, the more readily accepted by those (including many of those in public life) with a higher education that closes the mind to technical matters and thus to the seriousness of climate change. Regarding climate change inaction as an applied problem suggests a renewed emphasis on authentic public education and on activism outside the traditional ambit of scholarship.

气候变化无所作为和后现实

气候变化不作为的责任很少指向根本原因,即社会过于复杂。它催生了后真相,后者在很大程度上已沦为对公众的不讨好的刻板印象,以及后信任,公众认为他们的国家机构越来越疏远和无效。这两者包括后现实,在后现实中,人们对真相的信心因远离其来源而减弱,普遍的偏远导致缺乏问责制和漠不关心,许多学术和制度实践也同样受到偏见。在不计其数的话语中,严重缺乏比例被忽视,受过高等教育的人(包括许多公共生活中的人)更容易接受,对技术问题和气候变化的严重性关闭了头脑。
