Well, I guess that’s considerably more easy than actually making their own lives carbon neutral
(UK Independent) …scientists are being told to use art and poetry to win public support in the battle to curb climate change.
Dame Julia Slingo, the chief scientist at the Met Office, has called for a radical overhaul of the way climate scientists go about their business, arguing that they need to make their reports less turgid and more engaging.
“We have to look increasingly at what society requires of us… We increasingly recognise that to reach the general public we have to use all sorts of different channels of communication,†Dame Julia told a recent gathering of leading climate change scientists at the University of Exeter.
“And it’s not through tables and graphs. Sometimes it is through art, through music, through poetry, and storytelling and that is increasingly something we have to think about – how we communicate in a more humanist way.
“Scientists have to stay engaged in the communication message. We will have to work at this. We will have to get the message out that this is a profound, deeply serious problem. It is urgent that we, as a science community, work together to advance the science and also to communicate it as effectively as we can so that we get the action that is so badly needed,†she said.
Well, yeah, I guess so, since their actual science is a mess and their models are failures. This is partially a recognition that their scare tactics are no longer working.
Dame Julia also called on the public to step up their action to publicise climate change, for example by recording the way it is affecting their immediate environment.
Personally, I’d tell the Warmists to practice what they preach. Silly me.
“Climate change is a massive opportunity for citizen science,†she said. “For everybody who experiences the natural world, we can use all the social media tools that we have to document what we see happening to the world around us.â€
Unless you don’t buy into their little cult, and then the message to Skeptics is “shut up”.
Of course, we’ve seen lots of Warmist “art”, such as
All murdery. And
Insane. And
Creepy. Here’s mine
Not particularly doomy, eh?
