[Air-L] Climate Scepticism in the blogosphere

[Warren Pearce]

Hi

Marianna Poberezhskaya has written on climate change in the Russian media. See http://nottinghamtrent.academia.edu/MariannaPoberezhskaya 

Sharman has paper on mapping sceptical blogosphere (US/Aus) http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959378014000405 

For Germany, don't know anything specific on new media, but see new PUS paper that finds no 'dismissive' category in German public opinion (that category is present in literature on US opinion) http://pus.sagepub.com/content/early/2015/07/02/0963662515592558.abstract 

Finally, I'll plug our paper on mapping Twitter interactions of climate convinced and unconvinced around IPCC report publication (English language) http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0094785 

Happy to chat directly if you  like - drop me a mail!

Thanks, Warren

Subject: [Air-L] Climate Scepticism in the blogosphere

Dear all,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with a literature review I am doing on climate change discourse in the blogosphere in the US, Russia and Germany. I am fairly familiar with the US literature on climate change journalism and a little on new media, but I am only just starting to look at Germany and Russia.

I am told there is really very little on the topic of Russian new media generally, let alone on the subject of climate change, so if anyone has any ideas or advice I'd be really grateful for the insights. (I don't personally speak Russian, but I am working with a colleague who is a native speaker).

With regards to Germany, I have found the odd paper, but I don't have access to very much non-english language literature on this topic. Any recommendations for English language papers on German new media and climate change or any citations for German literature that would be worth pestering some German colleagues for would be gratefully recieved.

Our aim is to take quite a discourse analytical approach and explore the differences between imaginings of climate change in these three countries, particularly with regard to the Cold War and to climate scepticism. If anyone has any thoughts, we'd be interested to hear them.
