Without an account of technology politics it is hard to explain continuing policy support despite rising costs. By analysing the actor networks and narratives underpinning policy support for offshore wind, we explain how a fairly effective protective space was constructed through the enrolling of key political and economic interests.

It was the driving force behind the Kyoto Protocol: this is the only existing international climate change treaty to include legally binding targets for reductions in emissions of carbon dioxide and requires developed countries to cut carbon dioxide emissions by an average of 5 per cent by 2012. It is, however, unlikely that EU member states will achieve these targets (Anderson and Bows, 2008). Despite this failure, the EU has already unilaterally committed itself to further reductions in emissions of carbon dioxide, with targets of 20% cuts by 2020, and 60% by 2050, in order to avoid warming the earth by more than two degrees centigrade over the preindustrial average (Europa, 2009). However, a new discourse is emerging which claims that two degrees is in excess of anything that might be considered safe, and that we are already living with dangerous climate change (Anderson and

Our work has attracted landscape analysis as a tool for the strategic environmental assessment of the Ain Dalia water body in northeastern Algeria. The use of the combined method which combines two approaches, one called "user" or visual, based on the assessment of the visual fields and the other called "expert", based on a quantitative method of the different sub-units that make up our site study. The results inherent in the two methods used clearly converged. It follows that the values of the quantized views are totally in line with the qualitative or visual method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
