I denne artikel vises eksempler på kristne former for økoteologi, der forholder sig til udsigterne til omfattende klimaforandringer. Disse eksempler sammenlignes med Bruno Latours seneste økoteologiske eksperiment med henblik på at vise, hvordan teologiske og antropologiske perspektiver væver sig ind i hinanden, og med det formål at identificere centrale begreber for en antropologi om klima- forandringernes metafysik. Selv om Latours projekt formentlig falder mellem alt for mange veletablerede perspektiver, foreslås det, at der i studiet af klimaforan- dringer skabes en opmærksomhed over for de nye hybride former for metafysik, som opstår i de mange moralske, praktiske og politiske spørgsmål i kølvandet på de videnskabelige beskrivelser af klimaforandringer og befolkningernes erfaringer med at leve i en forandret verden. Søgeord: klimaforandringer, metafysik, kristendom, moral, natur.English: The Metaphysics of Climate Change. The World as Nature, Environment and CreationIn this paper examples of Christian eco-theology that respond to the prospects of major climate change are reviewed and contrasted with a recent eco-theological experiment launched by Bruno Latour. The aim of the article is to identify how theological and anthropological perspectives are interwoven and, moreover, to discuss how an anthropology of the metaphysics of climate change may develop an explorative repertoire of concepts. Although Latour’s project may fall between too many well established perspectives, it is suggested that the study of the metaphysics of climate change keep an eye open to the new hybrid forms of metaphysics; these forms appear in the many moral, practical and political questions that follow in the wake of the scientific findings of climate change and the experiences of people living in a changing environment. Key words: Climate change, metaphysics, Christianity, moral issues, nature

Trade is a form of business that is run by many people around the world, ranging from trading various kinds of daily necessities or primary needs, to selling the need for luxury goods for human satisfaction. For that, to overcome the many needs of life, they try to outsmart them buy products that are useful, economical and efficient. One of the markets they aim at is the second-hand market or the so-called trashy market. As for a trader at a trashy market, they aim to sell in the used goods market with a variety of reasons. These reasons include; first, because it is indeed to fulfill their needs. Second, the capital needed to trade at trashy markets is much smaller than opening a business where the products come from new goods. Third, used goods are easily available and easily sold to buyer. Here the researcher will discuss the behavior of Muslim traders in a review of Islamic business ethics (the case in the Jagalan Kediri Trashy Market). Kediri Jagalan Trashy Market is central to the sale of used goods in the city of Kediri. Where every day there are more than 300 used merchants who trade in the market. The focus of this research is how the behavior of Muslim traders in the Jagalan Kediri Trashy Market in general. Then, from the large number of traders, of course not all traders have behavior in accordance with Islamic business ethics, as well as traders who are in accordance with the rules of Islamic business ethics. This study aims to determine how the behavior of Muslim traders in the Jagalan Kediri Trashy Market in buying and selling transactions and to find out how the behavior of Muslim traders in the Jagalan Kediri Trashy Market in reviewing Islamic business ethics.

<p><b>Abstract </b></p> <p>While the pedagogical benefits of fieldtrips have long been recognised our ever increasing understanding of the impacts of flying on climate change is presenting educators with a poignant dilemma; the many benefits long associated with international fieldtrips are at odds with the world community’s needs in limiting/halting climatic change.

In September 2011, a delicate cargo of 24 Nihoa Millerbirds was carefully loaded by conservationists onto a ship for a three-day voyage to Laysan Island in the remote Northwest Hawaiian Islands. The goal of this effort was to establish a second population of this endangered species, an “insurance population” in the face of the mounting pressures of climate change and potential new biotic arrivals. But the millerbird, or ulūlu in Hawaiian, is just one of the many avian species to become the subject of this kind of “assisted colonisation.” In Hawai'i, and around the world, recent years have seen a broad range of efforts to safeguard species by finding them homes in new places. Thinking through the ulūlu project, this article explores the challenges and possibilities of assisted colonisation in this colonised land. What does it mean to move birds in the context of the long, and ongoing, history of dispossession of the Kānaka Maoli, the Native Hawaiian people? How are distinct but entangled process of colonisation, of unworlding, at work in the lives of both people and birds? Ultimately, this article explores how these diverse colonisations might be understood and told responsibly in an era of escalating loss and extinction.

Increasing demand of bioenergy, sugar and other byproducts make sugarcane (Sacharum officinarum) very important and valuable crop in world. It is growing on the many diversified agroecological zones of 120 countries of the world. Brazil, India, China, Thailand, Pakistan, Mexico, Colombia, Indonesia, Philippines, and USA (number wise from area and production) are top ten sugarcane producing countries in the world. But yield production per hectare of these countries is ranged from 56-86 t ha-1 is much lower than the achievable potential 100-130 t ha-1. Amongst many other factors responsible for lowering the yield, change in environment is now growing a major factor. It is very difficult to increase area for sugarcane so efforts are made to increase the yield production at the same cultivated area, the per hectare yield production must be improved by adapting modern technologies suited for changing environment. The global warming is increasing due to change in environment by the increasing emission of green house gases. Sugarcane is sensitive for climatic parameters such as temperature, rainfall, sunlight and soil. The research indicated that global temperature will increased from 3-5oC in the end of 21st century. The enormous human activities are cause to accelerate the changing in our ecosystem with low or high rainfall, temperature, severity of pests pressure, unavailability of pollination services, decrease soil fertility, alter the water use efficiencies and crop behavior. Changes in temperature, rainfall, floods, drought, salinity stresses and frosts have been found major factor for lowering production of sugarcane in Pakistan is highly dependent on natural resources. Obtaining the high cane production with high quality juice in future, it is necessary to develop cane varieties and advanced farm management practices which will suitable under changing environment.

The Kyoto Accord on climate change requires developed countries to achieve CO2-emissions reduction targets, but permits them to charge uptake of carbon (C) in terrestrial (primarily forest) ecosystems against emissions. Countries such as Canada hope to employ massive afforestation programs to achieve Kyoto targets. One reason is that foresters have identified large areas that can be afforested. In this paper, we examine this forestry option, focusing on the economics of afforestation in western Canada. In particular, we develop marginal C uptake curves and show that much less land is available for afforestation than would be the case if economics is ignored. We conclude that, while afforestation is a feasible weapon in the greenhouse policy arsenal, it might not be as effective on an economic basis as many forest-sector analysts make out. Key words: Climate change, economics of afforestation, Kyoto Accord

Este trabalho inicia-se em um breve relato sobre as mais diversas opiniões acerca das mudanças climáticas, enfocando os conceitos de diversos pesquisadores acerca da temática, tão controversa nos meios científicos quanto a nível internacional. Várias opiniões divergem sobre o que realmente originam as mudanças climáticas, a primeira seria que as mudanças climáticas decorrem de ações antropogênicas, provindos do uso de combustíveis fósseis e o crescimento da agricultura alterando na atmosfera um aumento de CO2, que conseqüentemente induziriam a elevação da temperatura, ou seja, ao aquecimento global, entretanto, existem argumentos que se contrapõem ao aquecimento global de longo prazo e defendem um resfriamento global gradativo, baseando-se que o clima sofre influência de forças como o sol e os seus ciclos e os oceanos que cobrem 71% da superfície e que são os grandes reservatórios de calor, e que as mudanças climáticas são de ordem natural, pois a interferência humana é insignificante e apenas traz mudanças a nível local. Essas divergências científicas necessitam de comprovações, pois precisamos entender as conseqüências reais desse processo. Se realmente estamos caminhando para um aquecimento ou resfriamento e se as mudanças climáticas são de ordem natural ou antropogênicas.Palavras- chave: Mudanças climáticas, Aquecimento global, Resfriamento global, Divergências científicas.  The paradox of Climate Change in Brazil: Heating or Cooling?  ABSTRACTThis work begins in a brief report on the diverse views on climate change, focusing on the concepts of various researchers on the theme, so controversial in scientific circles as internationally. Various opinions differ on what really causes climate change, the first climate change that would result from anthropogenic activities, stemming from the use of fossil fuels growth in agriculture and the changing atmosphere in a CO2 increase, which consequently leads to a rise in temperature, or global warming, however, there are arguments to oppose the long-term global warming and advocate a gradual global cooling, based on the climate is influenced by forces like the sun and its cycles and the oceans that cover 71 % of the surface and are the great reservoirs of heat, and that climate change is a natural one, because human interference is negligible and only brings changes at the local. These differences need scientific proof, because we need to understand the real consequences of this process. If we are really heading for a heating or cooling and climate change are of a natural or anthropogenic. Key words: Climate change, Global warming, Global cooling, Scientific differences.

The Way

This paper wants to think beyond the science-politics divide that is omnipresent in sustainability discourse. With Bruno Latour, we investigate if and how decomposing matters of fact and recomposing them back as matters of concern can open up a scientific-political space in which sustainability challenges can be addressed in an adequate manner. By connecting Latour's constructivist account of science in action with Rudolf Boehm's concept of topical truth, we aim to lighten up the normative-political entanglement between science and politics, facts and values. Rather than conceiving of knowledge in terms of representations of the world, a constructivist topical perspective emphasises the socio-material practices from and within which these representations arise. Such a view then also changes the way we think about ourselves and our place in the world in fundamental ways: the world now becomes something that we are embedded in and part of rather than something we are detached from and merely observers of, as representationalism suggests. In this way, decomposing environmental matters of fact such as climate change, which have never been a human-independent entity out there to begin with, allows to adequately recompose them as societal matters of concern, which they have been from the very beginning.
