Castree reply —

Although they challenge some of our claims1, Myanna Lahsen and colleagues2 and Lauren Rickards3 agree with us that a new intellectual climate ought to prevail in the world of global-change science. We concur with Lahsen et al.2 that there are other (perhaps better) examples than those that we chose to illustrate the tendency of global change scientists to presume that a 'single, seamless concept of integrated knowledge' is realizable and desirable1; Paul Palmer and Matthew Smith provide a recent case in Nature4. We apologise if we misrepresented Barnes et al.5, and applaud the recent efforts of Barnes and Dove to detail how anthropology can help us better understand climate change6.
