September 24, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, climate communication, global warming, science communication | 19 comments

I am teaching two journalism classes this semester, with climate change being a main focus these past few weeks. We had an obvious news peg in Sunday’s big climate march and the gathering of world leaders this week in NYC. Students in both classes have received climate change 101 lessons from me–where the body of… https://ottawaphotographer.com/ddkx25wvenp Continue Reading…

More Facts on Climate Change = What?

https://ottawaphotographer.com/gcs4km6 Climate concerned advocates received some welcome news yesterday: A new study finds that when they understand climate basics, some conservatives are more likely to accept that climate change is happening I continue to be amazed at how much time and resources are spent justifying attempts to win over the most ideologically entrenched demographic in the climate… https://chemxtree.com/h5fiefol72 Continue Reading…

Annals of Bone-Headed Science Communication

https://www.wefairplay.org/2025/03/11/qvotulibe A liberal publication (which I like and read) has a message for vaccine-hesitant parents. Vaccinate your kids, you ignorant whack jobs http://t.co/ngmTIZWAxp pic.twitter.com/TiBXz99Vxi — Mother Jones (@MotherJones) August 6, 2014 Alas, this is an incredibly ignorant and counterproductive thing to say. Whoever is running MoJo’s social media operation needs to get familiar with the latest… Continue Reading…

https://ballymenachamber.co.uk/?p=7ufbm8vl This tweet from today caught my eye: One picture that will convince everyone to vaccinate their kids http://t.co/cPH5cnbd9C — ThinkProgress (@thinkprogress) April 8, 2014 The smart folks at ThinkProgress seem to have missed all the media coverage of this recent study, which found that, for those already suspicious or concerned about vaccines, images of sick children… Continue Reading…

The Limits to Explanatory Journalism

In recent years, as I have paid closer attention to how our individual biases influence the way we think about everything from climate change to gun control, I have periodically been overcome with a sense of futility. I blame Dan Kahan for this. His research at Yale, along with the pioneering work of Nobel Laureate Daniel… https://hazenfoundation.org/juv3u24et Continue Reading…

The Inevitable Failure of a Climate Change Message

March 14, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, climate communication, global warming, science communication | 139 comments

https://www.scarpellino.com/tydy8co Not long ago my wife and I went out to dinner at a restaurant with another couple, who, like us, have two boys. The conversation inevitably turned to our kids, school, family stuff. Their older son made the transition this year to junior high school. I asked how this was going. Pretty well, the mother… Continue Reading…

https://municion.org/q7be9nb Periodically, some readers accuse me of characterizing climate skepticism in an overly broad manner. There are various subspecies, they insist. So I should stop painting all climate skeptics as frothing conspiracy mongers. My rejoinder is that I base my characterization on the loudest, most relentless climate skeptics, who have made themselves the representative voices of… Continue Reading…

Truth Always Wins

https://www.emilymunday.co.uk/cyh1s5u6 The politicized and polarized nature of the climate debate is well established. Those who track the testy, emotionally-charged conversation on agricultural biotechnology wonder if the GMO discourse is heading down that road. I’ve argued that the rhetorical tactics of GMO skeptics and climate skeptics are similar. Others have also come to see these commonalities (cherry-picking… https://www.salernoformazione.com/yjnhbynm Continue Reading…
