The fact that this takes place over some time merely obscures the issue, but
the phenomenon in question is the whole of the phenomenon.
The dialectical formula asserting that it is by being above it that the orienting term is in the dynamic tendency as one of the factors that constitute it, is a formula that is both complex and single, and can not be resolved without detriment to
the phenomenon in question.
«These individuals, if the term is applicable to
the phenomena in question, were Buccaneers.
As a scientist, your job is to accurately describe a phenomenon; in this case,
the phenomenon in question just happens to be you.
The phenomenon in question is the El Niño — Southern Oscillation, or ENSO, a global climatic cycle that affects both sides of the tropical Pacific Ocean and beyond.
Figuratively, the size of
the phenomenon in question in relation to its surroundings.
In science, we attempt explain phenomena with hypotheses that specify models showing the operation of
the phenomenon in question.
My point was that, if we accept this basic story (it's too simple, even as an account of how cultural cognition works; but that's in the nature of «models» & should give us pause only when the simplification detracts from rather than enhances our ability to predict and manage the dynamics of
the phenomenon in question), then there's no reason to view the valences of the cultural meanings attached to crediting climate change risk as fixed or immutable.
The studies are all contradictory, showing that we do not understand anything about
the phenomena in question.
