**Uncertain Climates: An Interdisciplinary Roundtable**
The climate crisis confronts us with uncertainty and is negotiated through a
host of speculative technical epistemologies and apparatuses. However, rather
than resolving uncertainty, it is translated and reconfigured, and it
reverberates across social contexts. The dominant impulse has been to double
down on certainty. But what consequences do discourses of certainty have and
how do we understand the ethical possibilities of the uncertain?
At a time of flourishing new and old climate scepticisms, a wildly
interdisciplinary panel combining speakers from atmospheric science, social
science and art will reflect on this question.
