Dr. Sonja Boehmer-Christiansen is a reader in Geography at the University of Hull. Since 1996, she has been editor of the journal Energy and Environment, which focuses on "energy policy debates in relation to the numerous environmental 'concerns' that have surfaced in recent decades."

In response to a survey about innovation circulated by spiked-online.com, Boehmer-Christiansen wrote: "In my main field, environmental politics - the use of ‘the environment’ in power struggles - I can’t think of a greatest positive innovation. But I can think of a bad one: ever more media people (and others) now pontificate about science and especially ‘global warming’ and the climate (even planetary ethics) without any real understanding of climate and how little we understand it."
