Abstract
According to many researches, presenting individuals with information on global warming might have a detrimental (and unexpected) impact on their explicit views about climate change. According to one study, better knowledgeable participants felt less personally responsible for global warming and were less concerned about the situation as a whole. These prior studies, on the other hand, was correlational in nature and did not allow for solid conclusions about causation direction.
Additionally we review the articles based on case studies of large organizations over a 10-year period, we analyse how businesses adapt to climate change in this research. Normalizing, Framing, and localizing, are three critical steps in business climate change translation. Business organizations are at the heart of this problem, as they both contribute to the generation of rising greenhouse gas emissions and provide creative methods to decarbonize the economy.
Similarly, literacy lens of a civic media emphasizes the need of deliberation and discussion, while an Eco linguistics approach considers the environmental impact of the “stories-we-live-by”. In this paper, we'll look at how all of these viewpoints interact to conceal and expose the reality about climate change. What elements influence climate change and societal awareness will be investigated.
Introduction
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius would need unprecedented, quick, and far-reaching, reforms in all parts of civilization. Scientists agree on manmade climate change in 97 percent of research (Anfinson, 2018). Nonetheless, scepticism regarding the severity and truth of climate change is widespread in several Western countries. One reason for the gap between popular opinion and scientific consensus might be the way the media has covered climate change throughout time.
The climate change blogosphere is an excellent example of changed journalism, in which anybody with internet access may post news without adhering to professional journalistic standards. In terms of ideology, education, and motivation, more people are now producing content regarding climate change. Several studies over the last decade have showed how professional journalistic norms impacted skewed climate change coverage in conventional US media sources.
While climate experts appear to be in complete agreement and accord on the threats presented by global warming, the general public appears to be less worried. The time-delayed, abstract character of global warming dangers does not elicit significant emotional emotions. This might explain the allegedly inefficient use of community and personal resources to address this problem.
Authors may not be able to persuade the public to see the true hazards of climate change until authors can elicit a strong emotional reaction from them. While climate change is "serious" many Americans believe, according to a 2006 research by Leiserowitz, it is "a low priority relative to other environmental and national challenges" (Nordhaus, 2019). He agrees with Weber that focusing on emotional responses of people is crucial in this situation since they drive logical information judgment after processing.
In 2005, Stephen Colbert invented the neologism "truthiness," which is defined as "the property of looking or being perceived to be real, even if not actually true" by The Oxford Dictionary (Treen, Williams, & O'Neill, 2020). One example of how Americans are living in a "post-truth" society is climate change. Despite the fact that climate scientists agree that the earth is warming and those humans are a major contributor to this warming; many people disagree with or ignore the evidence.” Having "the other side" portrayed to ensure balance is useless if the other side is based on misleading or faulty information. To become more aware of how ideas, prejudices, views, and values, affect and frequently restrict comprehension, readers must evaluate their own biases, ideas, beliefs, and values (Van Eck, Mulder, & Dewulf, 2019).
Businesses have attempted to address environmental problems through "corporate environmentalism," which aims to reconcile competing environmental and commercial objectives (Sheffi, 2021). However, the noticeable lack of progress in lowering carbon...
