Focusing on environmental assessments related to issues such as acid rain, ozone depletion, and sea level rise, the authors examine the decision-making processes of experts in shaping scientific understanding of climate change. The book delves into how scientists form their judgments, the influence of organizational structures on these assessments, and the construction of expertise within the field. By analyzing these dynamics, it sheds light on the critical role that expert evaluations play in guiding government environmental policies and actions.
