ItemGrappling with flying as a driver to climate change: Strategies for critical scholars seeking to contribute to a socio-ecological revolutionBaer, HA (WILEY, 2018-12)Airplane flights are one of the fastest, perhaps even the fastest, growing source of greenhouse gas emissions, even though there is much discussion of mitigating emissions to stave off a global climate change disaster. While business people, politicians, celebrities, and highly affluent people appear to be the most frequent flyers, the demands of an increasingly corporatised university sector have placed much pressure on academics, including anthropologists, to fly to attend conferences and meetings and conduct research. I seek to grapple with the dilemmas involved in the academic use of aircraft, particularly on the part of those academics who accept the gravity of anthropogenic climate change spurred on by the demands of global capitalism, and propose some strategies for mitigating climate change on the part of anthropologists in particular as part of the larger project of creating a socio‐ecological revolution that will contribute to a safe climate.

ItemAl Gore and the Climate Reality Project Down Under: The Up Market of the Climate MovementBaer, H (Informa UK Limited, 2015-01-01)In terms of applied work, anthropologists have been working on climate change issues at two broad and quite distinct levels, namely in the formulation of climate policies and by becoming involved in climate action groups and the climate movement that supports social, economic, and technological changes in the interest of mitigating climate change, a phenomenon that an increasing number of observers view as the most profound environmental problem ever faced by humanity and one that will continue to play itself out during the present century. In her list of issues that engaged anthropologists examine, Warren (2006:213) includes "social justice, inequality, subaltern challenges to the status quo, globalization's impacts, and ethical position of our field research in situations of violent conflict." Ironically, many of these issues are related in one way or another to anthropogenic climate change. I maintain that more anthropologists need to become involved as observers and engaged scholars in applied initiatives seeking to respond to climate change on the local, regional, national, and global levels.
