Shawn Lawrence Otto: Science Loses Status as a Climate Arbiter in Durban
To get a sense of this dynamic, imagine that you are driving, a bit tipsy, along a dark road at night and go over a bump and your headlights both go out. You keep going and shortly thereafter feel a thump. You stop the car and get out to investigate. You find a child lying injured on the side of the road.
...Then rationalization sets in. The child is blind, and only has a broken leg, you reason, so may live on until the morning even if you take no action.
Shawn Lawrence Otto is a science advocate, filmmaker, author and humanitarian who works for smarter politics on a global scale.
