What Climate Communication Sorely Lacks

Buy Ambien Online Overnight My latest post at the Yale Forum on Climate Change & the Media asks if the ratcheting up of climate fear will grab hold of a public already numb to such appeals. I think David Roberts at Grist makes a strong case for how it can work, but it rests on this assumption: what drives social…Continue Reading…

Rattling the Echo Chamber

Don't Lose Sight of Those Biases

Buy Carisoprodol Online I dip in and out of the comment threads at Judith Curry’s blog. The nesting style annoys me, so I rarely follow an actual conversation all the way through. But there are some commenters, such as Joshua, Martha, and Louise, and a few others on the skeptical side, who I find quite engaging. They usually…Continue Reading…

Climate Hawks Letting off Steam?

https://www.crossernaturalhealth.com/faq/ Oh, this should be good for another noisy round of meaningless climate warfare: “Our biggest problem is to deal with the skepticism and denial of the cult-like lemmings who would take us over the cliff,” said [California Governor Jerry] Brown, a Democrat, eliciting cheers and laughter from an audience of roughly 200 policymakers, businessleaders, and…Continue Reading…

Historic Analogies for Climate Change are Beguiling

https://www.amainstitute.com/about-us/ It is just about as obvious that AGW [anthropogenic global warming] is not a serious problem as it was that the Nazis weren’t in 1936. Plenty of supposedly reasonable people had plenty of reasonable reasons to do nothing about it then, but today we just think they were stupid. Wasn’t it just obvious, weren’t the…Continue Reading…

When Life Gets in the Way

The piece goes on to discuss an array of denial devices…Continue Reading…
