Climate change conversation preaching to the converted
There is more research and data available than ever before which shows the impacts humans are making on our rapidly changing climate – but why is the message still not being received in some parts of our society?
Dr Graham Pyke, from the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of Technology Sydney, is calling for a new type of science communication.
He believes scientists and ecologists are preaching to the converted, and that a radical change in the structure of universities, as well as different approach in media reporting are all needed to drive the message home about climate science.
