气候哲学研究中的几个核心问题

几十年来,气候变化已成为国际社会最为关注的问题之一,气候哲学也逐渐成为哲学的一个重要领域。目前,气候哲学研究主要围绕气候模型、气候变化中的不确定性、气候科学的共识与异议,以及气候政治与伦理等几个方面展开。气候模型是气候科学中的核心概念和基本工具,关于气候模型的哲学分析集中于气候模型的本质、检验,气候模拟中参数化、调整的科学意义,气候模型与经验的关系等问题。不确定性是气候科学研究和气候争论中的核心要素,相关的讨论主要涉及不确定性的本体论和认识论来源,不确定性的管理与决策等方面。气候科学共识的形成及其意义,如何看待气候科学异议和怀疑,是当前气候哲学讨论的另一重要话题,气候科学家和哲学家们进行了广泛调查和深入讨论。应对气候变化需要各国政府和社会在政治上有一套广泛认可的哲学框架,英国思想家安东尼.吉登斯和德国学者乌尔里希.贝克提出了各自的气候政治学,产生了广泛影响,需要我们认真思考和应对。
