AGU Chapman conference - Communicating Climate Science: A Historic Look to the Future
What can climate scientists do to improve communication with the general public and policy makers?
...
What forms of expressing non-scientific values or prescriptive judgments are appropriate?...
How can we communicate climate change to the media, stakeholders and the public in a manner that is most comprehensive and relevant to the respective audiences?
[Should we start by desperately avoiding any communication or debate with anyone who points out flaws in our junk science?]
...
How do we as honest scientists grapple with the difficult distinction between facts and values, the objective and the subjective, particularly in areas where subjective judgment is a part of the process of evaluation?
How might we enhance the authority and legitimacy of climate knowledge and its generators, e.g. transparency in data, methods and models, discipline and professionalism in both public and private communications? Is the ‘non-traditional electronic media science’ in a form of science blogs and forums successful in communicating the science to society and policymakers?
