What We Have Here, Is a Failure to Communicate

"Last week the UK’s former chief climate diplomat John Ashton addressed scientists at the UK’s Meteorological Office. The speech was called Climate Change and Politics: Surviving the Collision.
In it Ashton argues that it is in scientists best interests to actively communicate their findings – but under certain conditions."

"We shall only find the will to expand the limit of the possible if the politics of what climate change means are connected to the science of what climate change is. We need a politics rooted in reality, and we won‟t get that without you. Not political reality, which is always up for grabs, but scientific reality, forged under the implacable scrutiny of Nature interrogated tirelessly by experiment."
