(Compon. The PI Broadbent is currently editing the papers from eighteen cases, along with an

Introduction and the preceding “Fault Lines. . .” paper, to be submitted to the journal Climatic Change for

a special issue. These papers analyze the data of the Compon project on newspaper coverage and

framing of global climate change and national mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. The papers, all

by local academic teams, include the cases of Canada, the US, Mexico, Brazil, UK, Sweden, Germany,

Switzerland, Greece, Portugal, India, New Zealand, Japan, China, South Korea and Taiwan, Indonesia and

Vietnam. The editors of the journal Climatic Change have agreed to consider the whole set of papers for

processes.

Jeffrey Broadbent, Our Common Addiction: Fossil Fuel Civilization and its Transformation under

Climate Change Pressure. Book project. The book will compare the response of different societies to

the call for mitigating their greenhouse gas emissions, seeking through that comparison to identify the

fundamental factors hampering a more effective national and global response. The study includes

societies exhibiting different levels of success and failure in mitigation as well as different background

societal and ecological conditions that affect those responses. This book will be based on the empirical

data and findings from the eighteen case studies being conducted in the Compon project The book project

has been solicited by by the ASA Rose Monograph series as one of its projects, with intention to be

published with the Russell Sage Press. I hope to submit this book in 2013.

more holistic analysis.
