Hi Climate and Energy Twitter. I’m giving a talk soon to an audience I anticipate will be skeptical or even openly hostile to facts about climate change. I want to make the most persuasive case I can. What are the best facts/stories/slides for addressing a skeptical audience?
-
What I found most persuasive when I began reading seriously about climate was stories about how complicated it had all been, & ways climate scientists still worried about their models being wrong. That's a person I'm inclined to trust.
I was initially very turned off by the utter certainty in much public conversation. Finding the IPCC report giving large error bars, and identifying substantial uncertainties in various conclusions, was reassuring that this was actually serious work.
