Then I left it alone for another entire year. Then I didn’t do anything with it for a long, long time after that. Characters evolved, plots developed and I created a vision for Earth one thousand years from today. Within four months, I cranked out a first draft of the whole book. The story just streamed from my fingertips. And YunJon, the confused and strained leader of the team responsible for Renee’s presence, must contend with the most difficult decision of his life. Renee’s unexpected arrival offers man-of-the-future Kar, a scientist who doesn’t like to talk very much, the chance to break free from the confines of his current role. The protagonist, Renee, became a young, successful researcher who, while something of a misfit, loves her life right up until everything she knows is buried under a millennium of time. I decided to write a science fiction book about a woman who, while out for a jog, is ripped through time into the future. So much so that I created an entire world from that single thought. Wouldn’t it be interesting, I wondered, if I fell through time and awoke a thousand years in the future? What would it be like? (Normal things to ponder while out for a run.) We recommend that future research correct ethnocentric tendencies by studying underrepresented regions such as the African continent, Latin America and the Caribbean, attend more to studies addressing adaptation to climate change impacts and embrace methodologies that address the localized nature of climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts.Three years ago, I was jogging on a trail sandwiched between a cornfield and a forest when a curious thought crossed my mind.
Our findings illustrate that the majority of surveyed research focuses on public knowledge of and public belief in climate change, draws data from the Global North and tends toward quantitative methodological approaches, although a diversity of methodological approaches are represented.
Using 160 peer-reviewed journal articles as evidence, we assess the field’s climate change research to-date and draw recommendations for future directions for research. This study is an examination of climate change communication research in which we examine topical, geographical and methodological trends.
