Helping people to give a damn about climate change

Those of us unsettled by the unfolding calamity that is climate change are, it seems, fundamentally different than those who doubt and dispute the science.

A new article in Mother Jones entitled: “How do you get people to give a damn about climate change?” helps us understand that dilemma.

It explains that those who agree on many things will disagree on one “small thing”, climate change.

It writes: “The little thing they disagrees on – whether it actually works to tell people there’s ‘scientific consensus’ on climate change – is a matter of huge practical significance”.
