Abstract

Klimadebatten er fuld af forudsigelser om fremtiden og lurende katastrofe. Al Gore har eksempelvis gjort brug af en apokalyptisk fortælling i sin klimaretorik. Tid er en vigtig topos i denne type retorik. Forfatteren viser her, hvordan skiftet til en topos om Sted forandrer den klassiske apokalyptiske fortælling og skaber mulighed for større nærvær i forhold til klimaforandringerne. Som eksempel på dette analyseres fortællinger fra hjemmesiden Facetheclimate.org om allerede eksisterende ”klimabrændpunkter”. Artiklen kan samtidig ses som et skridt imod en teoretisk beskrivelse af en sekulær apokalyptisk retorik.
