Resumen
Descripción
[es] El público general accede al conocimiento científico sobre el
cambio climático fundamentalmente a través de los medios
de comunicación, que construyen discursos con la facultad
de cuestionar o legitimar a la ciencia climática, y la posibilidad
de acciones ante la problemática. Asumiendo tal premisa,
este artículo analiza los marcos o frames del discurso
informativo producidos por el diario de referencia en Argentina,
Clarín, durante un periodo de cinco años (2009-2013).
Puntualmente se describen los marcos sobre el consenso
científico respecto de las causas, consecuencias –impactos
y riesgos- y sobre el rol de la ciencia ante las respuestas o
“soluciones” frente al cambio climático. Los avances de investigación
indican que el fenómeno ha sido representado
como un problema causado por las actividades humanas,
que sus consecuencias negativas ya se registran alrededor
del mundo –y también en Argentina-, que representa un riesgo
para la humanidad en general y para los grupos sociales
vulnerables en particular, pero que puede ser mitigado. En
definitiva, se trata de un discurso que reconoce el consenso
científico y que legitima al cambio climático como un problema
que demanda la acción política.
[en] The general public access to scientific knowledge on climate change mainly through the media, which construct discourses with the power to question or legitimize climate science, and therefore the possibility of action against the problem. Assuming this premise, this article analyzes the frames of news discourse produced by the reference newspaper in Argentina, Clarín, for a period of five years (2009-2013). Specifically frames on the scientific consensus on the causes, consequences -impacts and risks- and the role of science for the answers or “solutions” to climate change are described. Advances of research suggests that climate change has been represented as a problem caused by human activities, and their negative consequences are recognized around the world -and also in Argentina-, thus, this problem represents a risk to humanity in general and particularly for vulnerable social groups, but it can be mitigated. In short, it is a discourse that recognizes the scientific consensus and legitimizes climate change as a problem that demands political action.
