Images influence political processes but also the general perception of global weather events. The authors of this book examine the visual aspect of the climate discourse in sixteen interdisciplinary case studies. At its heart are images which depict the climate and climate change in very different ways - landscape photography, press photos, maps and diagrams used in climate science and climate skeptical media, but also artworks and the visual strategies of environmental activism.    Use the coupon code CUP30 and save 30%!  $55.00 $38.50 Paper | 400 pages | 73 illus.    FOLLOW COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY PRESS:
