KÜRESEL ISINMA VE İKLİM DEĞİŞİKLİĞİ: BİLİMSEL UZLAŞMADAN POLİTİK AYRIŞMAYA

İklim bilimi literatüründe, önde gelen iklim bilimciler arasında iklim değişikliği üzerindeki bilimsel uzlaşmayı gözlemlemek mümkündür. Bilimsel alandaki uzlaşmaya ek olarak insan kaynaklı iklim değişikliğinin diğer bir tanımlayıcı niteliği, politik alandaki ayrışmadır. Politik alanda yalnızca iklim değişikliğinin negatif sonuçlarının değil, azaltım politikalarının maliyetlerinin de toplumdaki farklı kesimler tarafından yüklenileceği ve paylaşılacağı aynı derecede açıktır. İklim değişikliği, iki önemli değer arasında kalan modern dünya için büyük bir zorluk teşkil etmektedir. Bir yanda, insan kaynaklı iklim değişikliğinin yaşanmakta olduğunu ve gerekli tedbirlerin ivedilikle alınması gerektiğini işaret eden bilim bulunmaktadır. Diğer yanda ise, demokratik ilkeleri idealize eden ve varlığı ekonomik refahın sürekli olarak yükselmesine dayalı olan modern politik sistem bulunmaktadır

GLOBAL WARMING AND CLIMATE CHANGE: FROM SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS TO POLITICAL DIVISION

The scientific consensus on climate change among leading climate scientists can be observed in the peerreviewed climate science literature. In addition to the consensus in the science world another defining quality of the anthropogenic climate change is the division in the political sphere. In the political arena, it is equally evident that not only the negative consequences of climate change but also the cost of mitigation policies will be borne and shared by the different parties in the society. Climate change poses a tremendous challenge for modern society, which is caught between two key values. On the one hand, there is the science, which is the last judge of the contemporary world which decides that climate change is occurring, and urgent action is needed. However, on the other hand, there is the current political system that idealizes democratic principles and justifies its existence based on the continuous increase of economic wealth
