It is easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled. ” Mark Twain
If the science is so clear about climate change, why do many people still deny it?
Within the scientific community there is no debate on the reality of climate change. Yet there is a huge disparity between the scientific community and what the public believe scientists know.
Despite scientific facts, people still create their own beliefs, identity and stories. Combined with influential campaigns by political and corporate interests and people spending time online (often socially isolated and disconnected), it makes it much harder to have reasonable non-judgmental conversations.
To have any chance of society progressing we must diminish the biases that is evident in our far-reaching media and focus on having more respectful face-to-face conversations amongst ourselves.
