Chatting with the climate scientist Newt dissed | Grist

Q. Do people bring those things up to you? Someone out in the audience says, This is Al Gore’s thing?

[Hayhoe]. Depending on the audience, the best thing to do is to tackle it head on yourself. These things are the elephant in the room. You know that’s what everybody’s thinking. So the best thing to do is just go for it right off the bat, get a laugh out of people. Talk about what you have in common and move on from there.
