At first glance, climate change seems to be in line with paradigm shifts in the social sciences which appeared in the final two decades of the 20th century in the context of the multiple forms and meanings of economic, social and cultural globalisation. Similar to globalisation, climate change appears as a phenomenon that has to be observed and analysed on a global scale, because of its global causes and its border-transcending effects. Only a global observation, one might argue, allows the identification of long-term and uni-directional trends in the complex and multiple changes in local weather all around the globe. The same is true for the attribution of “global” climate change to anthropogenic activities, which has been a central field of enquiry for many years.
