In Richard
Harris’ article, “’Uncertain’ Science: Judith Curry’s Take on Climate Change”
Intertextuality
is exemplified by fusing together what one could think of as commonly known
public discourse, scientific fact, and individual opinion.
The exigency, of
the Grant-Davies variety, is the climate change debate. This debate is on going
and often vitriolic, with anxious scientists and environmentalists on one side
of the aisle, and a mixture of capitalists, conservatives, and advocates of
personal and corporate freedom on the other.
Many people think
that climate change is a critical matter. ‘Climate Change’, as an individual
issue, is often a matter of debate between candidates and sometimes a platform
for political parties.
In Richard
Harris’ article, scientist Judith Curry expresses her uncertainty that action
needs to be taken, as she believes that without knowing what possible natural
factors might occur in the next few centuries, it is impossible to take lasting
action against climate change.
I believe that
Curry is utilizing D’Angelo’s intertextual technique of adaption, as she agrees
with the findings of other scientists findings regarding the impact of humans
on carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, but draws a different conclusion
from these findings and uses that conclusion to further her point
