Climate Change Communication and the Internet

Climate Change Communication and the Internet is a collection of studies examining theoretical, methodological, and practical challenges to studying Internet-based data in the context of climate change. Providing access to a broad range of empirical evidence, the volume is an important and novel addition to the field of computer-mediated climate change communication, a research area that is poised to grow in the next few years.

The volume provides a timely, state of the art collection of studies examining climate change communication in the era of digital media. The chapters focus on a broad range of topics covering various aspects of both practice and research in climate change communication, ranging from the use of online platforms, to blogs, and social networking sites. Climate change communication has increasingly moved into Internet-based forums, and this volume provides a comprehensive overview of research into Internet and climate change communication. The studies share valuable methodological insights in this relatively new field of research and shed light on the opportunities and challenges underlying the collection and analysis of online climate change-related data. This book was previously published as a special issue of Environmental Communication.
