climate change, little is actually being done to curtail it. Analyses of cultural discourses
do not respond to this, but they can help to shape future discourse about global climate
change. This discourse will most assuredly be intercultural in nature. Thus, as the global
community contends with the phenomenon, comprehensive understandings of deeply felt
cultural premises will allow for more ethical debate (see Johannason, 1996).
