The history of climate change as a public issue increasingly demonstrates the need to reconsider the distinction between ‘social facts’ and ‘natural facts’. By tracing the scientific and technical origins of climate change research, initially dominated by an interdisciplinary field of engineering expertise drawing on computer-based monitoring of geophysical and biophysical changes in the atmosphere, it becomes possible to examine the progressive problematisation of human factors.

La storia del cambiamento climatico in quanto problema pubblico ci mostra sempre più come sia da rivedere la distinzione tra 'fatti sociali' e 'fatti naturali'. Mostrando le origini scientifiche e tecniche dello studio dei cambiamenti climatici, dominati da un campo interdisciplinare di saperi ingegneristici che muovono da rilevamenti informatici su mutamenti geo e biofisici dell'atmosfera, si arriva a mostrare la progressiva problematizzazione dei fattori umani introducendo così la crescente politicizzazione e socializzazione del fenomeno nell'arena pubblica contemporanea.

Abstract
The history of climate change as a public issue increasingly demonstrates the need to reconsider the distinction between ‘social facts’ and ‘natural facts’. By tracing the scientific and technical origins of climate change research, initially dominated by an interdisciplinary field of engineering expertise drawing on computer-based monitoring of geophysical and biophysical changes in the atmosphere, it becomes possible to examine the progressive problematisation of human factors. This process has, in turn, contributed to the growing politicisation and socialisation of climate change within the contemporary public arena.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
