This article is a reply to Johan Söderberg’s critique of constructivist environmental sociology. Lidskog and Sundqvist challenge his claim that the climate emergency requires social scientists to refrain from conducting sociological analyses of climate science, on the grounds that such analyses could be exploited by climate denialists. They argue that Söderberg bases his reasoning on simplified dichotomies—such as the choice between taking scientific knowledge for granted or problematizing it—and that he incorrectly attributes positions to them that they do not hold. The authors defend STS-inspired research that legitimizes critical examination of expertise, not to undermine climate science but to understand how knowledge is produced, organized, and used politically. By analyzing, for example, the IPCC, they show that climate expertise is already politically embedded and therefore requires sociological study. They call for a clearer justification of Söderberg’s own knowledge realism and open the possibility of collaboration between research on expertise and research on climate denial, rather than keeping these strands separate.
