@kmftimm @thermokarst @KHayhoe @ClimateComms @past_is_future We developed a series of short videos on consensus for our @denial101x course. The first video "Consensus of Evidence" looked at how the scientific consensus on human-caused global warming is based on multiple lines of empirical evidence
@kmftimm @thermokarst @KHayhoe @ClimateComms @past_is_future @denial101x The second video "Consensus of Scientists" looked at how surveys of the scientific community find that among climate scientists publishing climate research, there's 97% agreement that humans are causing global warming
@kmftimm @thermokarst @KHayhoe @ClimateComms @past_is_future @denial101x The third video "Consensus of Papers" summarized our 2013 study that content-analyzed scientific research, finding 97% agreement among relevant climate papers
@kmftimm @thermokarst @KHayhoe @ClimateComms @past_is_future @denial101x The fourth video by @past_is_future wraps the series together nicely, looking at how a "knowledge-based consensus" requires social diversity, social calibration, & consilience of evidence - an insightful philosophical overview of consensus.
@kmftimm @thermokarst @KHayhoe @ClimateComms @past_is_future @denial101x Lastly, I got the opportunity while making @denial101x to interview key scientists who've worked on the consensus such as @naomioreskes & @icedoctorD - I compiled highlights from these interviews in a single video
@kmftimm @thermokarst @KHayhoe @ClimateComms @past_is_future @denial101x @NaomiOreskes @IceDoctorD For bonus credits, have the students watch this high quality interview with @naomioreskes where she explores the origin of her seminal consensus study plus the denial backlash which led to her writing Merchants of Doubt
