| Long abstract | In 1957, the American scientists Roger Revelle and Hans Suess wrote that, “human beings are now carrying out a large-scale geophysical experiment of a kind that could not have happened in the past nor be reproduced in the future” (quoted in Hulme and Mahony 2010, 706). They were of course talking about our experiment with global industrial development and the release of millions of tons of green-house gases into the atmosphere. As we now know, it is an experiment that is starting to produce disastrous conse-quences on a global scale. We have truly been playing with fire and it is increasingly evident that we are being burned. As a result many of us are going to have to make major shifts in how we live our lives or, sooner or later, those shifts will be forced on us as the world changes and adapts around us. The future is scarily unknown. What role can social research play in coming to terms with a future in which the certainties of the past have gone and the future lies before us unknown? |
