How, and How NOT - to communicate Climate Science

1. This is an essential piece of knowledge. If we can't communicate with people

who are so scared of the idea of climate change that they resort to denial to avoid anxiety, then we won't be able to take steps as a world to start to address the problem. Time to drop the righteous disdain of fearful conservatives and reach them where they live. Don't start with "Climate Change" or "Global Warming." Start with, flooding is getting more common, storms are getting stronger, fires are getting out of hand, droughts are getting longer and more frequent - depending on where the person you are talking to actually lives. Discuss a tangible reality they have already experienced, and work your way back from there.

and will be useful for the next time I have to deal with climate change deniers. Thank you very much for posting this.
