【 Souiki-kai News Magazine English Version is translated by students hired by On-Campus Job project. 】
Dear Souiki-kai members,
Hello, this is Souiki-kai office. This month’s column is provided by Professor Yasuko Kameyama from the Sustainable Society Design Center. Every time I see news about wildfires overseas, I am struck by the incomparable scale and the lives lost, leaving me with an indescribable sense of helplessness.
◇ July Issue
◇◇ Graduate Program in Sustainability Science – Global Leadership Initiative
◇◇ ◇ Message from Program Director Professor Yasuko Kameyama
Extreme Weather, Climate Change, and Media
Professor Yasuko Kameyama, Graduate School of Frontier Sciences
As a researcher on climate change policies, I am for sure worried about the increasing frequency of extreme weather events globally under global warming, including heat waves, droughts, torrential rains, and wind gusts.
More than that, I am concerned about the way this information is being communicated in the diverse media sources such as SNS and online news. Newspapers and TV, once the main mass media, have also expanded their activities into the online environment, and continue to play a role in reporting new information.
Until recently, when the Japanese media dealt with extreme weather events, they did not mention the causes. Recently, they have finally added a sentence at the end of their reports to the effect that “global warming may be a factor”. The term “heat wave” is still not used to describe high temperatures in Japan. Rather, they refer to hot summers as “midsummer days” and focus on “staying hydrated” and “using the air conditioner whenever needed’’. In many cases, abnormal weather outside of Japan is not even reported in the media.
In contrast, the causes of extreme weather events and the scientific explanation of how many times more likely they are to occur due to climate change, is frequently mentioned in major Western media outlets. Sometimes the words climate change is included in the headline. Articles on wildfires, which are becoming more and more common in recent years, often include large, colored photographs to convey the apparent seriousness of the situation.
The varying ways the media communicate the situation will be perceived differently by readers. It is not good to stir things up more than they really are, but in Japan, it makes people not willing to tell the reality for the fear of being perceived as stirring things up. At least this is how I often feel, and foreign journalists agree with me when I complain about this. I wonder if we have become paralyzed in our ability to feel the threat of global warming, even though we are familiar with the term. We need to search for a better way to convey the message.
