Abstract:
This paper explores whether efficacy beliefs can alter the relationship between worry about climate change and personal energy-saving behaviors, controlling for climate change beliefs and socio-demographics. For this purpose, we used data from 23 countries that participated in the European Social Survey Round 8 (N = 44 387). Worry about climate change, personal efficacy, personal outcome expectancy, and collective outcome expectancy were each associated with personal energy-saving behaviors concerning either energy curtailment or energy efficiency. The results further show that outcome expectancies moderate the association between worry about climate change and both types of energy behaviors. Worry was more strongly related to energy curtailment behaviors among those with high levels of personal and collective outcome expectancy. A similar pattern was found for energy efficiency behaviors, which were more strongly predicted by worry about climate change when combined with high levels of collective outcome expectancy. These findings are relevant for climate change communication, especially informational campaigns aiming to lower overall household energy use.

Abstract:
Some fear that provoking widespread worry about climate change may harm mental health. The Regional Wellbeing Survey, a large study of health, well-being and life in rural and regional Australia, examined climate change worry and attitudes. Most respondents were worried about climate change and agreed that fossil fuel use causes global warming, but there was no evidence to suggest that worry about climate change is linked to mental health in the general population. Respectful, calm, considered public debate about how to respond to climate change is unlikely to be harmful to population mental health. Individually focused clinical approaches are unlikely to be effective as a primary approach in managing the mental health impacts of climate change. Instead, collective, systems-based approaches will be needed.

Abstract:
Climate change worry involves primarily verbal-linguistic thoughts about the changes that may occur in the climate system and the possible effects of these changes. Such worry is one of several possible psychological responses (e.g., fear, anxiety, depression, and trauma) to climate change. Within this article, the psychometric development of the ten-item Climate Change Worry Scale (CCWS) is detailed in three studies. The scale was developed to assess proximal worry about climate change rather than social or global impacts. Study 1 provided evidence that the CCWS items were internally consistent, constituted a single factor, and that the facture structure of the items was invariant for men and women. The results from Study 1 also indicated a good fit with a Rasch model of the items. Study 2 affirmed the internal consistency of the CCWS items and indicated that peoples’ responses to the measure were temporally stable over a two-week test–retest interval (r = 0.91). Study 3 provided support for the convergent and divergent validity of the CCWS through its pattern of correlations with several established clinical and weather-related measures. The limitations of the studies and the possible uses of the CCWS were discussed. The current work represents a starting point.

Abstract Using a sample of student-athletes’ (N=64) first year (seventh grade) enrolled at a school with a sport profile, the aim of this longitudinal study was to investigate (a) levels and changes as regards to worry about sport performance, perception of peer climate, and perceived competence; and (b) the relationship in levels and changes between these studied variables. The primary results from latent growth models (LGMs) and parallel process LGMs revealed that, during their first year, the student-athletes’ level of worry and perceived ego-oriented peer climate increased, whereas perceived competence decreased. Further, the results showed that perceived competence was negatively associated with worry at the beginning of the students’ first year. The slope of perceived ego-oriented peer climate was positively associated with the slope of worry. Future research in relation to the findings is discussed, and recommendations for future actions are given.

Abstract:
Climate change is one of the biggest threats facing the world, connected to rising oceanlevels, droughts, and other natural disasters. The aim of this study was to explore if and howclimate worry, climate coping and experiential avoidance are connected to climate friendlybehaviour among Swedish adolescents in their third year of upper-secondary school (N=470).A questionnaire was used to measure the factors of interest, which were analysed withcorrelation and mediation analysis. Four main results were found. The first was that climatefriendly behaviour related to climate worry and climate coping in a similar way to howpro-environmental behaviour has done in previous studies. The second finding was thatproblem focused climate coping mediated the relationship between meaning focused climatecoping and climate friendly behaviour. The third result was that distancing was positivelyrelated to experiential avoidance and climate worry in contrast to de-emphasizing which wasonly related negatively to climate friendly behaviour. Lastly the results showed thatexperiential avoidance was related to distancing but not to any other variables. Our findingscontribute to a greater understanding of the field in that they support and extend previousfindings as well as highlight new angles for future research.

Abstract:
La globalisation et les crises économiques successives, les pressions de la concurrence et les exigences des clients contraignent les entreprises pour survivre à initier des changements et à réviser leurs promesses et perspectives de rétributions, parfois de manière brutale. Les frontières organisationnelles se délitent, des relations atypiques et triangulaires se développent, les collectifs de travail sont fragilisés, les valeurs interpellées. L’équivocité des situations initie des processus de sensemaking. Les schémas mentaux traditionnels de la relation d’emploi basés sur la confiance, la stabilité et la fidélité sont bousculés. A la sécurité d’emploi à long terme et la carrière interne se substitue la notion d’employabilité et de flexisécurité. Les employés essaient de percevoir et d’interpréter ce qui survient dans les organisations. Les « contract makers » viennent alors préciser et expliquer les changements dans les promesses et obligations du contrat psychologique entre l’employé et l’organisation. En cas d’échec, ce sont les « contract influencers » comme les syndicats qui viennent donner un sens qui n’est pas forcément celui attendu par le management… Les plans de restructuration avec réduction d’effectif se multiplient engendrant des processus de rupture et de violation du contrat psychologique et un climat social dégradé. Les processus de cession de site, l’absence de perspectives à long terme engendrent de l’incertitude et de l’inquiétude chez les salariés, des contrats psychologiques de transition sans garantie émergent et lorsque la situation perdure ces derniers sont susceptibles d’engendrer des comportements hostiles et déviants qui peuvent conduire à un contrat psychologique de défiance.La présente thèse étudie le processus de formation et d’évolution du contrat psychologique sous le prisme du sensemaking du personnel d’une entreprise agro-alimentaire de Dijon. Un cadre d’analyse contextualiste basé sur une méthode mixte quantitative et qualitative nous permet de suivre les processus de formation, d’évolution de rupture et de reconstruction du contrat psychologique et de comprendre comme les acteurs organisationnels construisent la réalité
Globalization and economic crises, as well as the pressures of competition and customer demands, are forcing companies, in order to survive, to initiate changes and revise their promises and payment prospects, sometimes in a brutal way. Organizational boundaries are disintegrating, atypical or triangular relationships are developing, staffs feel weakened, and values are ?. The ambiguity of these situations initiates the processes of sensemaking. Traditional expectations based on trust, stability and fidelity are shaken up. Job security and long-term internal careers are being replaced by the concepts of employability and flexisecurity. Employees try to understand and to detect what is happening in organizations. « Contract makers » then come a long side to explain and to detail changes in the promises and obligations of the psychological contract between the employee and the organization. When this process fails, it is the « contract influencers » such as unions who give meaning, but is not necessarily the one the management expected... Restructuring plans which include downsizing lead to the increasing number of processes of rupture and violation of the psychological contract and down-grading in the social climate. The process of selling the site and, the lack of long-term prospects create uncertainty and anxiety among employees. Transitional psychological contracts with no guarantee conditions emerge and when this situation persists it is likely to generate hostile and deviant behaviors that can lead to distrust psychological contract.This thesis examines the process of forming and developing the psychological contracts through the prism of sensemaking, employees of a food company in Dijon. An analytical framework based on a contextualist quantitative and qualitative mixed method allows us to follow the process of establishing and developing rupture and reconstruction of psychological contracts, as well as to understand how people concerned in the organization construct reality

Abstract:
A wide range of issues in moral, political, and legal philosophy fall under the heading of “intergenerational justice,” such as questions of justice between the young and the old, obligations to more-or-less distant past and future generations, generational sovereignty, and the boundaries of democratic decision-making.These issues deserve our attention first because they are of great social importance. Solving the challenges raised by aging, stable pension funding, and increasing healthcare costs, for example, requires a view on what justice between age groups demands. Climate change, resource depletion, environmental degradation, population growth, and the like, raise serious concerns about the conditions under which future people will have to live. What kind of world should we bequest to future generations?Second, this debate has theoretical significance. Questions of intergenerational justice force reconsideration of the fundamental commitments (on scope, pattern, site, and currency) of existing moral and political theories. The age-group debate has led to fundamental questions about the pattern of distributive justice: Should we care about people’s lives considered as whole being equally good? This has implausible implications. Can existing accounts be modified to avoid such problematic consequences?Justice between nonoverlapping generations raises a different set of questions. One important worry is about the pattern of intergenerational justice—are future generations owed equality, or should intergenerational justice be cast in terms of sufficiency? Another issue is the currency of intergenerational justice: what kind of goods should be transferred? Perhaps the most puzzling worry resulting from this debate translates into a worry about scope: do obligations of justice extend to future people? Most conventional views on the scope of justice—those that focus on shared coercive institutions, a common culture, a cooperative scheme for mutual advantage—cannot easily be extended to include future generations. Even humanity-based views, which seem most hospitable to the inclusion of future generations, are confronted with what Parfit called the nonidentity problem, which results from the fact that future people are mostly possible people: because of the lack of a fixed identity of future people, it is often impossible to harm them in the comparative sense.

Abstract:
Religion: A Very Short Introduction offers a concise and fair account of the vast topic of religion, incorporating insights from different scholarly fields while also respectfully representing diverse religions and varying viewpoints. Everyone who aspires to be an informed global citizen needs to understand religion, since it affects how billions around the world conduct their lives. But most overviews are too wordy or too partisan. This one focuses on the key questions: What is religion? What does it do? How is religion expressed and how has it changed? That story of change begins with the first signs of religion among ancient humans using stone tools, and it ends with modern adherents using computer technology. Religion continues to evolve, and it continues to play an important role in how people deal with recent trends and contemporary problems, from climate change to armed conflict. Religion, the author shows, is both intensifying and alleviating those problems. Religion is pulling us apart and bringing us together.

Abstract:
Choosing a policy response to climate change seems to demand a population axiology. A formal literature involving impossibility theorems has demonstrated that all possible approaches to population axiology have one or more seemingly counterintuitive implications. This leads to the worry that because axiological theory is radically unresolved, this theoretical ignorance implies serious practical ignorance about what climate policies to pursue. This chapter offers two deflationary responses to this worry. First, it may be that given the actual facts of climate change, all axiologies agree on a particular policy response. In this case, there would be a clear dominance conclusion, and the puzzles of axiology would be practically irrelevant (albeit still theoretically challenging). Second, despite the impossibility results, the authors prove the possibility of axiologies that satisfy bounded versions of all of the desiderata from the population axiology literature, which may be all that is needed for policy evaluation.

Abstract:
What role, if any, should appeals to fear play in climate change communication? Moral and practical worries about fear appeals in the climate change debate have caused some to turn toward hope appeals. This chapter argues that fear can be a rational and motivationally powerful response to climate change. While there are good reasons to worry about the use of fear in politics, climate change fear appeals can be protected against the standard criticisms of political fear. Hope appeals, by contrast, seem vulnerable to serious motivational drawbacks in the case of climate change. We should not therefore abandon fear appeals in favor of hope appeals. Instead, we should take our bearings from Aristotle in an effort to cultivate fear more responsibly. Aristotle offers an appealing model of “civic fear” that preserves the best aspects of hope, elicits rather than extinguishes our sense of agency, and invites rather than forecloses deliberation.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the logics of fatalism in climate fiction as they variously function in the classical dystopia, the critical dystopia and the time-travel story. For the classical dystopia, the examples are Maggie Gee’s The Flood, Jeanette Winterson’s The Stone Gods and Antti Tuomainen’s Parantaja. For the critical dystopia, the examples are Emmi Itäranta’s Teemestarin kirja, Alexis Wright’s The Swan Book and James Bradley’s Clade. For the time-travel story, the examples are Ben Elton’s Time and Time Again, Wolfgang Jeschke’s Das Cusanus-Spiel and Jennifer Mills’s Dyschronia. The chapter concludes by observing that time travel, whether physical or psychic, is perhaps the most improbable novum in the whole of the SF repertoire, and that it might therefore seem strange to worry about its real-world implications. But the fatalist conclusion that there is little we can do to offset anthropogenic warming, and that our efforts might even make matters worse, does have such implications, and these might well be regretted.

Abstract:
Now we come to the key issue. Many discussions about climate change turn to the well- known fact that (very) large CO2 fluctuations have happened in the geological past. This is then taken to imply that “we shouldn’t worry: nature has seen this all before, and will somehow clean up our external carbon emissions.” The veracity of this sentiment can be tested by considering the main mechanisms available in nature for extracting carbon from the atmosphere-ocean system. These are weathering, reforestation, and carbon burial in soils and sediments. In the next section, we look at the potential of these processes. Thereafter, we consider the case for human intervention, and potential ways forward. A first mechanism by which nature has dealt with past high- CO2 episodes is chemical weathering of rocks. In warmer and more humid climates, chemical weathering rates are increased, and this extracts CO2 from the atmosphere. However, CO2 removal through weathering at natural rates is an extremely slow process, which operates over hundreds of thousands to millions of years. Given time, there is no doubt that natural weathering will be capable of eventually removing the excess CO2, but this process is so slow that it offers no solace for the future, unless we are prepared to wait many hundreds of thousands of years. There may be some future in artificially increasing the weathering processes to remove anthropogenic carbon, but this is in its infancy—we will revisit this in sections 6.2 and 6.3. A second mechanism for carbon extraction from the atmosphere-ocean system concerns expansion of the biosphere, most notably through reforestation. We have discussed this before in terms of expansion and contraction of the biosphere during ice- age cycles. In today’s case, carbon extraction through biosphere expansion requires first that the industrial age’s trend of net deforestation is reversed. Interestingly, this actually may have happened at around 2003. Between 2003 and 2014, net global vegeta¬tion increased by about 4 GtC (i.e., at an average rate of about 0.4 GtC per year), due to a lucky combination of increased rainfall on the savannahs of Australia, Africa, and South America, regrowth of forests on abandoned farmland in Russia and former Soviet republics, and massive tree- planting projects in China.

Abstract:
The world’s climate is changing. Not only is it getting warmer, but also there are more extreme weather events, such as droughts, storms, and catastrophic floods. Humans are undoubtedly the cause of this change in climate, through the burning of fossil fuels, intensive farming, deforestation, and many other aspects of our industrious lives that increase the emission of greenhouse gases—carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide—to the atmosphere. In fact, over the past fifty years or so there has been an unprecedented increase in the release of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, and, unless measures are put in place to cap emissions, this trend is likely to continue. So what have soils got to do with climate change? Put simply, soils play a pivotal role because they act as both a source and sink for greenhouse gases, and any disruption of this balance will affect the concentration of these gases in the atmosphere and hence the global climate, potentially making the situation either better or worse. Perhaps the most powerful illustration of this concerns the carbon cycle. Soil is the Earth’s third largest carbon store, next to the oceans and deep deposits of fossil fuels, and together with vegetation it contains at least three times more carbon than the atmosphere. Many worry that climate change will destabilize these carbon stores by stimulating the soil organisms that break down soil organic matter, releasing vast quantities of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. This could shift soils from being sinks to sources of this greenhouse gas, thereby accelerating climate change. Scientists call this carbon-cycle feedback, and we will revisit it later. Let’s begin with the main actors of climate change, the greenhouse gases. The most abundant and well-known greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide. This gas is taken up from the atmosphere by plants through the process of photosynthesis, which occurs in the presence of light. Plants retain most of the carbon they take up and use it to grow and sustain their metabolism, but they also release a portion back to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide through respiration from both their shoots and roots.

Abstract:
We, the teeming billions of people on earth, are changing the earth’s climate at an unprecedented rate because we are spewing out greenhouse gases and are heading to a disaster, say most climate scientists. Not so, say the skeptics. We are just experiencing normal variations in earth’s climate and we should all take a big breath, settle down, and worry about something else. Which is it? A national debate has raged for the last several decades about whether anthropogenic (man-made) sources of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) and other so-called “greenhouse gases“ (primarily methane and nitrous oxide) are causing the world to heat up. This phenomenon is usually called “global warming,” but it is more appropriate to call it “global climate change,” since it is not simply an increase in global temperatures but rather more complex changes to the overall climate. Al Gore is a prominent spokesman for the theory that humans are causing an increase in greenhouse gases leading to global climate change. His movie and book, An Inconvenient Truth, gave the message widespread awareness and resulted in a Nobel Peace Prize for him in 2008. However, the message also led to widespread criticism. On the one hand are a few scientists and a large segment of the general American public who believe that there is no connection between increased CO2 in the atmosphere and global climate change, or if there is, it is too expensive to do anything about it, anyway. On the other hand is an overwhelming consensus of climate scientists who have produced enormous numbers of research papers demonstrating that increased CO2 is changing the earth’s climate. The scientific consensus is expressed most clearly in the Fourth Assessment Report in 2007 by the United Nations–sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the fourth in a series of reports since 1990. The IPCC began as a group of scientists meeting in Geneva in November 1988 to discuss global climate issues under the auspices of the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Program.
