From a <i>normal</i> and a <i>post-normal science</i> ethos towards a <i>survival science</i> ethos?

What ethos and what role repertoire can scientists bring to bear in the face of the current climate emergency without risking the very legitimacy and authority of science? In this article, I draw on Max Weber’s and Robert K. Merton’s conceptions of normal science , as well as on reconstructions of science’s ethos and role repertoires in post-normal science regimes. I put up for discussion whether current survival science constellations require yet another, radically new ethos and role set.
