Convincing people about the reality of human-induced climate change is as much about the mysteries of human cognition as explaining the facts.

The facts, it seems, as rather too brutal for most as they prefer optimism and to see life through rose coloured glasses.

The intricacies of addressing what is unquestionably the most significant threat to ever face humanity seems even more complex than the difficulty itself.

Postdoctoral Fellow in Bioethics at Monash University, Paul Biegler, wrote about that challenge on The Conversation in a story headed: “How we evolved to reject climate science”.
