Abstract: In this paper I address four issues as an anthropologist and social scientist: social studies of science and some of its implications for global climate change research, ethnologies of local knowledge of environment and environmental changes, an analysis of some problematic contributions of scientists to policy-making, and the need for new policy initiatives by climate change scientists and local peoples.
