Communicating #ClimateChange: @NinaWormbs reflects on using technology (satellites) as stand-in for "seeing with our own eyes"; a scientific gaze used to support an economic claim ("melting sea ice will opens Northwest Passage shipping") becc.lu.se/event/theme-me…
Scientific language needs to be precise and non-emotional; @NinaWormbs likens Rachel Carson and Jim Hansen as facing similar communication struggles to convey scientific problems in a way people understand emotionally. @becc_sweden 
A re-evaluation of what is rational for people: @NinaWormbs gives overview of research that can help us make sense of #climatechange denial.
Why do people fail to#ActOnClimate?
4 justifications ppl use:
1. Budget Thinking: allowances; good outweighs bad
2. Compare w/ others who are worse
3. Infer non-climate values more important (family, education,...)
4. Practical constraints and context, e.g. time
