气候变化是科学、情感和政治交叉的一个复杂问题，地球仪的年轻人都在思考这个问题，世界范围内的气候罢工就是明证。这份手稿分析了2016年美国总统大选期间350名年轻人写的信。这些信件通过一个名为“给下一任总统的信”的数字平台提交，要求公众关注气候变化。使用混合方法，我们在这些信件中确定了三种不同的话语，或讨论气候变化的方式：以解决方案为导向的话语，气候政治话语和厄运话语。这些话语让我们深入了解年轻人对气候变化的知识和情感类型，同时也展示了美国一些年轻人对气候变化的政治化。我们提供研究和教学的影响，注意到教育工作者需要考虑政治化的背景下，塑造气候变化的学习。
Abstract A complex issue at the intersection of science, emotion, and politics, climate change is on the minds of young people across the globe, as evidenced through worldwide climate strikes. This manuscript presents an analysis of letters written by 350 young people across the US during the 2016 Presidential election season. These letters, submitted through a digital platform called “Letters to the Next President,” demanded public attention to climate change. Using mixed-methods, we identified in these letters three distinct discourses, or ways of discussing climate change: a solution-oriented discourse, a climate politics discourse, and a discourse of doom. These discourses give insight into the types of knowledge and emotions that intersect for youth about climate change, while also demonstrating the politicization of climate change for some youth in the US. We offer research and pedagogical implications, noting the need for educators to consider the politicized contexts that shape climate change learning.
