Climate change equals ecological loss. The language of the Anthropocene is thus slowly becoming the language of mourning – climate grief felt in relation to experienced or anticipated environmental losses (Cunsolo). Its expression is found in symbolic glacier funerals, during which mourners empathically extend the concept of grief to non-human entities. By analyzing the role of the Ok glacier’s funeral, and the discourse around mourning ecological losses, the author attempts to answer the question about the social potential of climate grief as a catalyst for change.

Zmiany klimatu to wciąż rosnące straty ekologiczne. Językiem antropocenu pomału staje się więc język żałoby – żałoby klimatycznej zdefiniowanej jako stan odczuwany w związku z doświadczanymi lub antycypowanymi stratami środowiska (Cunsolo). Jej wyrazem są symboliczne pogrzeby lodowców, w czasie których żałobnicy empatycznie rozszerzają pojęcie żałoby na byty pozaludzkie. Analizując rolę tych uroczystości na przykładzie pożegnania lodowca Ok oraz dyskursu wokół opłakiwania strat ekologicznych, autorka próbuje odpowiedzieć na pytanie o potencjał żałoby klimatycznej jako katalizatora zmian.

The article’s topic reflects climate scientists’ presence and communication in the public sphere, while the main focus is on the two ways a society may respond to the climate scientists’ communicative efforts: by denying the scientific messaging (climate change denial) and by engaging in relation-building communication (climate change dialogue). Those aspects were explored from the point of view of American and Polish climate scientists through the method of in-depth interviewing. According to the scientists, as the study results show, the most effective way to enhance science-society dialogue on climate change is to detangle from unproductive denial narratives and truly embrace the dialogic model of science communication by opening it to feedback, including honest societal scepticism.
