Abstract
This research, based on framing analysis, surveyed 131 Israeli experts in scientific and other fields, aimed at identifying their predominant frames on climate change. Deciphering the textual and contextual meanings compiled during four years revealed the preference of universal over parochial-local orientation, the latter described by scholars as Zionist and technocentric. As an Israeli student I explain how these conclusions affected my concepts about the cultural discourse on climate change.
