“Just Have a Think” has a new YouTube presentation that is very relevant to what CACOR is wanting to achieve … providing understandable information for non-scientists (such as politicians and the general public). The interview, titled “Busting Climate Myths: The Psychology of Denial” is with Dr John Cook, founder of the Skeptical Science website. A focus in the interview is Cook’s recent book, “Cranky Uncle vs Climate Change”, which is rich in comic book styled illustrations. Cook, a veteran climate change researchers and author has been studying the psychology of denial and is now focused on better tactics to promote societal support for globally-needed changes to our destructive habits. The link takes you to the presentation. Hope it stimulates others like it has me! (Sadly, the book is not available through Ottawa’s public library system so I’ve ordered the book … to arrive tomorrow!)
